Isonitrile

Japanese: イソニトリル
Isonitrile

isocyanide. Also called carbylamine. A compound in which an isocyano group -NC is bonded to a hydrocarbon group R, and is represented by the general formula RNC, and is an isomer of the nitrile RCN. It is named as an isocyanide. It is obtained by decomposing an adduct of an alkyl halide with silver cyanide using potassium cyanide.

RNC + K[Ag(CN) 2 ]

It can also be obtained by adding chloroform and alcoholic potassium to a primary amine and heating it. This reaction is called the carbylamine reaction and is used to detect primary amines and chloroform.

RNH 2 + CHCl 3 + 3KOH → RNC + 3KCl + 3H 2 O

The structure is

RN + ≡C - : (or R-NC)
It is generally a colorless liquid with an unpleasant odor. Its boiling point is lower than that of the corresponding nitrile. It is toxic. It is weakly alkaline and stable in alkali, but is hydrolyzed by acid to give formic acid and a primary amine. It is reduced to a secondary amine with a methyl group. It isomerizes to a nitrile when heated. It polymerizes slowly at room temperature.
