tert-Butyl isocyanide

Description:

Tert-butyl isocyanide, also known as 2-isocyanopropane, is an organic compound characterized by its isocyanide functional group attached to a tert-butyl group. It has a distinctive structure featuring a carbon atom bonded to a nitrogen atom via a triple bond, which imparts unique reactivity and properties. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a pungent odor, reminiscent of bitter almonds, and is known for its volatility. Tert-butyl isocyanide is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various nitrogen-containing compounds and as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Due to the presence of the isocyanide group, it can participate in nucleophilic reactions and is often involved in the formation of more complex molecular structures. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as isocyanides can be toxic and pose health risks upon exposure.
