4-Isothiocyanatobutanoic acid

CAS: 4374-71-4

4-Isothiocyanatobutanoic acid is an antimicrobial that is used as a derivatization agent for the production of a microbicidal compound. It has been shown to be active against bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis. 4-Isothiocyanatobutanoic acid is also autolytic, which means it breaks down into other substances when exposed to water. The hydrolysis product of 4-isothiocyanatobutanoic acid is methyl ester and this can be extracted from the reaction mixture with organic solvents. 4-Isothiocyanatobutanoic acid has been shown to have antibiotic activity against human pathogens in laboratory experiments.
