General description

The rate constants for the gas phase reactions of ozone, OH radical and NO(3) radical with allyl isocyanate (AIC) were studied[1].

Allyl isocyanate is an organosulfur compound that finds its application in the synthesis, and characterization of biodegradable dextran-allyl isocyanate-ethylamine/polyethylene glycol-diacrylate hydrogels.[2]

Application

Allyl isocyanate is used to prepare:
  • Allyl-pHPMA (allyl-Poly[N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide) by reacting with 2° hydroxyl group of pHPMA.[3]
  • Allyl-containing triBCP precursor via bidirectional anionic polymerization of styrene. The precursor used in the synthesis of poly(allyl isocyanate)-block-polystyrene-block-poly(allylisocyanate) (PAIC-b-PSt-b-PAIC).[4]

Questions

  1. Buenos días ¿Cómo es obtenido este compuesto, por síntesis o por extracción de fuentes naturales? Quiero usarlo para un proyecto pero el certificador pregunta sobre el origen. Un saludo.

    1 answer

    1. Production methods, i.e. extraction from natural sources vs chemical synthesis, are presented in the Certificates of Origin, which are lot-specific.

      A lot specific Certificate of Origin can be supplied by our Technical Service team who can assist you with further. We kindly ask you to navigate to the link https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/techservice, click on "Product Documentation" under the Products Section with all the required information so that a member of our team can reach out to you to assist further. Thank you.
