(2S)-2-Isocyanatooctane is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an isocyanate functional group (-N=C=O) attached to a carbon chain. Specifically, it features a straight-chain octane backbone with the isocyanate group located at the second carbon, which imparts unique reactivity and properties to the molecule. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid, exhibiting a pungent odor associated with isocyanates. It is known for its reactivity, particularly in forming ureas and carbamates through nucleophilic addition reactions with amines and alcohols. The stereochemistry indicated by the (2S) designation suggests that the compound has a specific spatial arrangement around the chiral center at the second carbon, which can influence its biological activity and interaction with other molecules. Due to its isocyanate group, (2S)-2-Isocyanatooctane may pose health hazards, including respiratory irritation and sensitization, necessitating careful handling and appropriate safety measures in laboratory and industrial settings.
