n-Heptyl isocyanate, also known as heptyl isocyanate, is an organic compound characterized by its isocyanate functional group (-N=C=O) attached to a heptyl chain, which consists of seven carbon atoms. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is known for its reactivity, particularly in forming urethanes and other derivatives through reactions with alcohols and amines. n-Heptyl isocyanate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic heptyl chain. It is important to handle this compound with care, as isocyanates can be irritants to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, and they may pose health risks upon exposure. In industrial applications, n-heptyl isocyanate is utilized in the synthesis of various polymers and as a reagent in organic chemistry. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, are essential when working with this substance.

N-Heptyl isocyanate (NHC) is a cross-linking agent that can react with an amine group to form an ether linkage. It is used in the production of polyurethanes and other polymers. In the presence of 3-mercaptopropionic acid, NHC reacts by nucleophilic substitution to form a molecule with a new reactive hydroxy group. This reaction mechanism has been shown to be potent enough to inhibit polymerization reactions such as those used in film coating. The hydroxy group also reacts with aliphatic hydrocarbons, which are molecules composed of only carbon and hydrogen atoms. The reaction between NHC and hexyl isocyanate (HIC), for example, leads to the formation of eseroline, which has been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory properties.
