Description

2-Isocyano-1,3-dimethyl-benzene is an organic compound that is used to synthesize other compounds. It has a redox potential of -0.6 volts and a crystallography of orthorhombic with a space group of Pbca. It reacts with nitrogen atoms in the reaction solution to form stable complexes and can react with copper ions to form a copper complex. 2-Isocyano-1,3-dimethyl-benzene has been shown to undergo transfer reactions with molybdenum in the presence of xylene as solvent and ammonia gas as a catalyst. This chemical reaction mechanism leads to the formation of an isocyanide intermediate, which then reacts with water molecules to create an aminium ion and hydrogen cyanide. Titration calorimetry experiments have shown that 2-isocyano-1,3-dimethylbenzene has an enthalpy change of -2
