Propane, 1-isocyano-2,2-dimethyl-

Description:

Propane, 1-isocyano-2,2-dimethyl- (CAS 72443-18-6) is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an isocyanide functional group attached to a propane backbone. This compound features a branched structure due to the two methyl groups located at the second carbon of the propane chain. Isocyanides are known for their distinctive and often unpleasant odors, and they exhibit unique reactivity due to the presence of the isocyanide functional group, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and cycloadditions. The compound is likely to be a colorless liquid or gas at room temperature, with properties influenced by its molecular structure. As with many isocyanides, it may pose health hazards, including toxicity and irritant effects, necessitating careful handling and storage. Its applications may extend to organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of complex molecules, and it may also be of interest in materials science and medicinal chemistry.
