General description

Benzyl isocyanate inhibits the formation of benzo[a]pyrene (BP)-DNA adduct and posses chemopreventive properties.

Application

Benzyl isocyanate was used to investigate the kinetics of isocyanate derivatization reaction in a continuous flow glass microfluidics chip. It was also used in a multicomponent, stereospecific synthesis of 1,3-oxazinane-2,4-diones employing an Al-salph complex (674699).

A benzylureido-β-cyclodextrin was synthesized by the reaction of 6-amino-β-cyclodextrin with an active benzyl isocyanate. Then, it was bonded to silica gel by a thiol-ene addition reaction, obtaining a new benzylureido-β-cyclodextrin-based chiral stationary phase (BzCDP). Its chemical structure was characterized by
