Description

General description

Phenyl isothiocyanate is an aromatic isothiocyanate. It participates in dehydration reactions of alcohols.[1] It is widely used for synthesis of various biologically important heterocyclic compounds.[2]

Application

Derivatizing reagent for primary and secondary amines. Used in sequencing peptides by Edman degradation and in amino acid analyses by HPLC.

Phenyl isothiocyanate may be employed as a derivatization reagent for high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis of various amphetamine derivatives in body fluids.[3]

Caution
