cyclopropylmethyl isothiocyanate

Description:
Cyclopropylmethyl isothiocyanate is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a cyclopropyl group and an isothiocyanate functional group. Its molecular structure features a three-membered cyclopropane ring attached to a methyl group, which is further linked to the isothiocyanate moiety (-N=C=S). This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor, characteristic of isothiocyanates, which are known for their strong and often acrid scents. Cyclopropylmethyl isothiocyanate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is primarily studied for its potential applications in organic synthesis and as a bioactive compound, particularly in the context of its role in plant defense mechanisms and potential anticancer properties. As with many isothiocyanates, it may exhibit biological activity, including antimicrobial and anticancer effects, making it of interest in both medicinal chemistry and agricultural research. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound due to its irritant properties.
