Occupational exposure to selected isocyanates in Polish industry [PDF]
Medycyna Pracy, 2015 Background: Isocyanates constitute a group of highly reactive, low molecular weight chemicals used worldwide for polyurethane manufacturing. The occupational exposure to these compounds is a major cause of occupational asthma, thus it is very important ...

Elevated concentrations of methyl isocyanate and isocyanic acid in cigarette smoke. [PDF]
Environ Sci Pollut Res IntAbstract Monoisocyanates are usually intermediates of industrial processes but alkyl-isocyanates and isocyanic acid can also be created when nitrogen-containing compounds thermally degrade. One of the most notable monoisocyanates, methyl isocyanate (MIC), was accidentally released to the surrounding from a pesticide plant in the Bhopal ...

Nucleophilic Isocyanation [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2020 Isonitriles are frequently employed as both substrates for organic transformations and ligands for organometallic chemistry. However, despite the wide application of the isonitriles, their synthesis generally depends on the traditional dehydration of N-formamide.
