CAS 590-28-3

Potassium cyanate

Description:

Potassium cyanate, with the chemical formula KOCN and CAS number 590-28-3, is an inorganic compound characterized by its white crystalline appearance. It is the potassium salt of cyanate and is soluble in water, forming a colorless solution. Potassium cyanate is known for its use in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of isocyanates and other nitrogen-containing compounds. It exhibits properties typical of cyanate salts, including the ability to participate in various chemical reactions, such as hydrolysis and polymerization. The compound is relatively stable under normal conditions but should be handled with care due to its potential toxicity, as cyanate can release toxic cyanide ions under certain conditions. Additionally, potassium cyanate can act as a source of nitrogen in various chemical processes. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with this substance, including the use of personal protective equipment and adherence to relevant safety guidelines.

Potassium cyanate is an active analogue of sodium cyanate. It is used in biochemical research for the preparation of samples and in the study of reactions that involve the formation of carboxylic acid derivatives from primary alkyl halides. This compound was found to be significantly cytotoxic, with a median lethal dose (LD50) at 3,000 mg/kg. The mechanism of action is not known. Potassium cyanate has been shown to inhibit human serum cholesterol levels and reduce atherosclerotic cardiovascular events in animal models, which may be due to its ability to inhibit cholesterol synthesis by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase activity.
