Application

Octyl isocyanate was used to suppress side reactions such as backbiting or chain transfer reaction during polymerization reactions. It was also used in the synthesis of:
  • low molar mass organogelator containing 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole (HPB) unit with long alkyl chain
  • N-octylurea
  • N-cyclopropyl-N′-octylurea

General description

Octyl isocyanate was reported to inactivate serine proteinase, chymotrypsin.

Alkyl isocyanates react specifically with the two serine proteinases, chymotrypsin and elastase, to yield inactive enzyme derivatives containing 1 male of reagent per mole of enzyme. Octyl isocyanate inactivates chymotrypsin only, while butyl isocyanate inactivates both enzymes but shows greater
