Use | Benzyl thiocyanate on an inert electrode during the electrochemical reduction of acetonitrile occurs locally selective bond dissociation. The addition of this substance during industrial fermentation promotes the biosynthesis of chlortetracycline. It is bioconverted to dibenzyl disulfide by Streptomyces goldis. Benzyl thiocyanate can be used to study the effects of different dietary compounds on the α-hydroxylation of n-nitrosopyrrolidine in male F344 rats. Used in the preparation of pesticides |
