Undecyl isocyanate
Undecyl isocyanate (CAS: 2411-58-7), with the linear formula CH3(CH2)10NCO and a molecular weight of 197.32 g/mol, is a versatile organic building block. Its isocyanate functionality makes it reactive in various chemical syntheses, particularly for introducing the undecyl chain into molecules. This compound is primarily utilised in research and development settings for the creation of specialised polymers, surfactants, and other organic intermediates.
Organic Synthesis
Undecyl isocyanate serves as a key reagent in organic synthesis, enabling the formation of new carbon-nitrogen bonds. It is valuable for introducing long alkyl chains into target molecules, modifying their physical and chemical properties.
Polymer Chemistry
This isocyanate can be incorporated into polymer backbones or side chains. Its reaction with hydroxyl or amine groups allows for the synthesis of polyurethanes, polyureas, and other functional polymers with tailored characteristics.
Surfactant Development
The long hydrophobic undecyl chain, combined with a reactive isocyanate head group, makes Undecyl isocyanate a useful intermediate for synthesising novel surfactants. These can find applications in detergents, emulsifiers, and wetting agents.
