SYNONYMS 1-Isocyanatobutane; Butyl Isocyanate;  Isocyanic acid butyl ester; n-Butylisocyanat (Dutch); n-Butilo isocianato (Spanish);  Isocianato de butilo (Spanish); Isocyanate de butyle (French); 
n-Butyl isocyanate  is an unstable (explosive), poisonous, volatile, clear liquid with the structure of H-O-C≡N (the oxoacid formed from the pseudohalogen cyanide), which is readily converted to cyamelide and fulminic acid. There is another isomeric cyanic acid with the structure of H-N=C=O, called n-Butyl isocyanate . Cyanate group (and isocyanate group) can react with itself. Cyanuric acid (also called pyrolithic acid), white monoclinic crystal with the structure of [HOC(NCOH)2N], is the trimer of cyanic acid.
