:methyl 4-isothiocyanatobutanoate
Description:
Methyl 4-isothiocyanatobutanoate is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an isothiocyanate functional group attached to a butanoate backbone. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, typical of isothiocyanates, which often have a pungent, mustard-like scent. This compound is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits low solubility in water. Methyl 4-isothiocyanatobutanoate is primarily used in chemical synthesis and may serve as a building block in the development of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is attributed to the isothiocyanate group, which can participate in nucleophilic reactions, making it valuable in organic synthesis. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, including potential antimicrobial or anticancer properties, although specific biological effects would depend on the context of its use and concentration. As with many isothiocyanates, it should be handled with care due to potential irritant effects on the skin and respiratory system.

Methyl 4-isothiocyanatobutanoate
CAS:<p>Methyl 4-isothiocyanatobutanoate (MITC) is a synthetic insecticide that is used in agriculture and against pests of brassica plants. MITC has been shown to be toxic to human pathogens, such as Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. MITC has a high volatility and can be applied to the leaves of plants. It has also been shown to have microbicidal properties against insects that are resistant to other insecticides.</p>Formula:C6H9NO2SPurity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:159.21 g/mol
