Isocyanatocyclopropane is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an isocyanate functional group (-N=C=O) attached to a cyclopropane ring. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. Isocyanates are known for their reactivity, particularly in forming urethane linkages through reactions with alcohols and amines, making isocyanatocyclopropane useful in the synthesis of various polymers and materials. The cyclopropane structure contributes to its unique strain and reactivity, which can influence its chemical behavior and stability. Isocyanatocyclopropane is also considered hazardous; it can cause respiratory irritation and sensitization upon exposure, necessitating proper handling and safety precautions in laboratory and industrial settings. Its applications may extend to the production of specialty chemicals, coatings, and foams, reflecting the versatility of isocyanate chemistry in material science. As with all isocyanates, it is crucial to manage exposure and adhere to safety guidelines due to its potential health risks.

Isocyanatocyclopropane

Cyclopropyl isocyanate (CPC) is an aliphatic hydrocarbon that is structurally similar to butane. Cyclopropyl isocyanate has a variety of functional groups including a hydroxy group, a serine protease, and an amino group. CPC has been shown to be a potent activator of the enzyme histone h3 lysine 4 trimethyltranferase, which is involved in the regulation of inflammatory diseases. The synthesis of cyclopropyl isocyanate can be done through the reaction with diazomethane and zinc chloride or by treating 1-chlorocyclohexene with nitrous acid.
