4-(6-Methyl-2-benzothiazolyl)phenyl isocyanate
4-(6-Methyl-2-benzothiazolyl)phenyl isocyanate (CAS 67229-93-0), with the molecular formula C15H10N2OS and a molecular weight of 266.32 g/mol, is a fluorogenic derivatizing agent. This compound is primarily utilised in analytical chemistry to derivatise primary, secondary, and tertiary hydroxyl compounds and amines. Its application facilitates enhanced detection and separation in chromatographic techniques, particularly when fluorescence detection is employed.

Fluorogenic Derivatisation Agent
This isocyanate is employed to react with primary, secondary, and tertiary hydroxyl compounds and primary and secondary amines. The derivatisation process introduces a fluorophore, enhancing detection capabilities in analytical methods.
Analytical Chromatography
Following derivatisation, the resulting compounds are suitable for chromatographic separation. The fluorogenic nature of the derivatised analytes allows for sensitive detection using fluorescence detectors in techniques like HPLC.
Enhanced Detection Methods
The compound is specifically useful for applications requiring fluorescence detection due to the inherent fluorescent properties of the benzothiazole moiety in the derivatised products (λex 327 nm; λem 382 nm in methylene chloride after derivatization).
