General Description
Hexyl isothiocyanate (n-hexyl isothiocyanate) is an isothiocyanate derivative. It has been identified as one of the components present in the oil extracted from the Cruciferae family. On heating the mixture of n-hexyl isothiocyanate and m-chlorophenyl isothiocyanate in the temperature range of 190-230°C, n-hexyl isocyanate is obtained.
