Very irritant to tissues. | [Chemical Properties]
clear yellow liquid | [Chemical Properties]
Pale yellowish liquid; strong, penetrating aroma. | [Occurrence]
Reported found in common cress, Lepidium sativum, nasturtium, and Tropaeolum majus. | [Uses]
A novel medical application of isothiocyanate ester in treating various leukemia, with low toxicity, which includes benzyl isothiocyanate, phenylethyl isothiocyanate, allyl isothiocyanate, sulforaphane, and erucin. Benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) inhibits the growth of human pancreatic cancer cells by inducing apoptosis. | [Uses]
antineoplastic, antibacterial, antifungal | [Uses]
Benzyl isothiocyanate has been used in the preparation of S-(N-benzylthiocarbamoyl)-L-glutathione and S-(N-benzylthiocarbamoyl)-L-cysteine. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Benzyl isothiocyanate is an isothiocyanate and a member of benzenes. It has a role as an antibacterial drug. | [Preparation]
Benzyl isothiocyanate is synthesized by the following two methods: I) from Benzylamine via Thiuramdisulfide via Sodiumsalt with Iodine to Benzyl-isothiocyanate. 2) from Benzylamine and Thiocarbonyl chloride. | [Aroma threshold values]
Medium strength odor, watercress type; recommend smelling in a 1.0% solution or less. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
Tetrahedron Letters, 33, p. 7021, 1992 DOI: 10.1016/S0040-4039(00)60922-X | [General Description]
Benzyl isothiocyanate is a naturally-occurring constituent of cruciferous vegetables. It has antibacterial properties and its metabolism in man has been investigated. It inhibits chemically induced cancer in animal models. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Odor at 1.0%: Vegetative cabbage and radishlike, green with a musty sulfurous earthiness reminiscent of mustard greens.Taste at 0.5ppm: Green vegetative cabbage, kimchi, radish and wasabi-like with green leafy nuances and imparting a strong trigeminal tongue numbing and raspy sensation. | [Safety Profile]
Poison by intraperitoneal andsubcutaneous routes. Intensely irritating. Mutation datareported. Moderate fire hazard via heat, flame, andoxidizers. To fight fire, use water, spray, foam, drychemical. When heated to decomposition it emits verytoxic NOx | [Solubility in organics]
Soluble in alcohol and oils. |
