CAS 59795-89-0

Benzene,(2-isocyanoethyl)-

Description:

Benzene, (2-isocyanoethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 59795-89-0, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzene ring substituted with a 2-isocyanoethyl group. This compound features a cyano group (-N≡C) attached to an ethyl chain, which in turn is connected to the benzene ring. The presence of the isocyano functional group imparts unique reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses, particularly in the formation of polymers and other complex organic molecules. Benzene derivatives are generally known for their aromatic stability, which contributes to their relatively low reactivity compared to aliphatic compounds. The physical properties of this compound, such as boiling point, melting point, and solubility, can vary based on the specific structure and substituents. Safety considerations are important when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks typical of aromatic compounds, including potential carcinogenicity. Proper safety protocols should be followed to minimize exposure and ensure safe handling in laboratory or industrial settings.

2-Isocyanoethylbenzene

CAS: 59795-89-0

2-Isocyanoethylbenzene, also known as 2-IBAB, is an organic compound that contains a carbonyl group and two isocyanate groups. It is used as a catalyst in hydrosilylation reactions to synthesize polymers such as polyurethanes. The reaction between 2-isocyanoethylbenzene and copper complex produces an imine that reacts with phosphite to form quinoline derivatives. These quinoline derivatives are then reacted with carboxylates to form ruthenium complexes, which catalyze the polymerization of deionized water. The polymerization initiator for this process is typically an organic peroxide or azide.
