General description

Octyl isocyanate was reported to inactivate serine proteinase, chymotrypsin.

Application

Octyl isocyanate was used to suppress side reactions such as backbiting or chain transfer reaction during polymerization reactions. It was also used in the synthesis of:
  • low molar mass organogelator containing 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole (HPB) unit with long alkyl chain
  • N-octylurea
  • N-cyclopropyl-N′-octylurea

Alkyl isocyanates react specifically with the two serine proteinases, chymotrypsin and elastase, to yield inactive enzyme derivatives containing 1 male of reagent per mole of enzyme. Octyl isocyanate inactivates chymotrypsin only, while butyl isocyanate inactivates both enzymes but shows greater
