m-xylyl isocyanide - Introduction

2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyyanide is an organic compound with the chemical formula C9H9N. It is a colorless liquid with a strong smell of cyanide.

2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyyanide has a wide range of uses in organic synthesis. It can be used as a catalyst for the synthesis of ligands and transition metal catalyzed reactions, for example, it can be used to synthesize organic molecules such as nitrogen. In addition, it can also be used in drug synthesis, dye synthesis, heterocyclic compound synthesis, etc.

There are various methods for preparing 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide. A common method is to obtain the corresponding 2,6-dimethylphenylethylamine by the reaction of dimethylaniline and chlorinated alkanes, which is then converted to 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyyanide by an O-alkyl acylation reaction.

Regarding safety information, 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide is irritating. In use, appropriate laboratory safety measures should be taken, such as wearing protective glasses, gloves and laboratory coats, avoiding contact with skin and inhalation of gases. During handling and storage, contact with substances such as oxidants and strong acids should be prohibited to prevent dangerous reactions.
