| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Hazard]
Strong irritant to skin, tissue. Moderate fire hazard. | [Description]
Benzyl thiocyanate undergoes regioselective bond dissociation during its electrochemical reduction in acetonitrile at an inert electrode. It is added to stimulate the chlortetracycline biosynthesis during industrial fermentations. It undergoes biotransformation into dibenzyl disulphide by Streptomyces aureofaciens. | [Chemical Properties]
ALMOST WHITE TO YELLOW CRYSTALS OR CRYST. POWDER | [Uses]
Benzyl Thiocyanate is found to increase the protein production of Streptomyces aureofaciens. Inhibits methylazoxymethanol acetate-induced intestinal carcinogenesis and reduces unscheduled DNA synthesi
s for some genotoxic carcinogens in rats. | [Application]
Benzyl thiocyanate was used to study the effects of various dietary compounds on the α-hydroxylation of N-nitrosopyrrolidine in male F344 rats in vitro. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Benzyl thiocyanate is a member of thiocyanates. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]

Benzyl thiocyanate undergoes regioselective bond dissociation during its electrochemical reduction in acetonitrile at an inert electrode. It is added to stimulate the chlortetracycline biosynthesis during industrial fermentations. It undergoes biotransformation into dibenzyl disulphide by Streptomyces aureofaciens. | [Safety Profile]
Poison by subcutaneous andintraperitoneal routes. Whenheated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes ofNOx, SOx, and CN??. | [Purification Methods]
Crystallise the thiocyanate from EtOH or aqueous EtOH. [Beilstein 6 H 460, 6 IV 2680.] |
