2,4,6-Trimethylphenyl isocyanate

Description:

2,4,6-Trimethylphenyl isocyanate, with the CAS number 2958-62-5, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an isocyanate functional group (-N=C=O) attached to a trimethyl-substituted phenyl ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a distinctive odor. It is known for its reactivity, particularly in forming urethanes and other derivatives through reactions with alcohols and amines. The presence of the three methyl groups on the phenyl ring enhances its steric bulk, influencing its chemical reactivity and solubility properties. 2,4,6-Trimethylphenyl isocyanate is utilized in various applications, including the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and polymer materials. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as isocyanates are known to be toxic and can cause respiratory irritation and sensitization. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, are essential when working with this substance.
