The Uses of Hexyl isocyanate

Hexyl isocyanate may be employed for the synthesis of following:

rigid-rod, helical isocyanate-based macromonomers
rod-coil-rod triblock copolymers with 2-vinylpyridine, by living anionic polymerization
chiral poly(n-hexyl isocyanate) (PHIC) macromonomers, by living anionic polymerization

Definition

ChEBI: An isocyanate in which a single isocyanato substituent is located at C-1 of a hexane molecule; found to be immunogenic in guinea pigs.

General Description

Hexyl isocyanate has been investigated for its antigenicity in the guinea pig animal model of hapten-specific respiratory hypersensitivity. Polymerization of n-hexyl isocyanate using rare earth tris(2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenolate) [Ln(OAr)₃] as initiator has been studied.
