3-Chlorophenyl isocyanate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colourless to slightly yellow liquid

Uses

3-Chlorophenyl Isocyanate is an intermediate product in the manufacture of monuron, and m-chlorophenyl isocyanate (II). A useful research chemical.

Uses

3-Chlorophenyl isocyanate (3-isocyanato chlorobenzene) was used in the preparation of cis-4-[N-(3-chlorophenyl)carbamoloxyl]-2-butenyl-trimethylammoniumiodide.

Safety Profile

Poison by inhalation and ingestion. A flammable liquid when exposed to heat or flame. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-, CN-, and NOx. See also ESTERS and THIO CYANATES .
