As a precursor to a variety of valuable bioactive compounds, it is the most important organic isothiocyanate in industry. ==Synthesis== It is prepared industrially by two routes. Annual production in 1993 was estimated to be 4M kg. The main method involves the thermal rearrangement of methyl thiocyanate:〔 :CH3S-C≡N → CH3N=C=S It is also prepared via with the reaction of methylamine with carbon disulfide followed by oxidation of the resulting dithiocarbamate with hydrogen peroxide. A related method is useful to prepare this compound in the laboratory. MITC forms naturally upon the enzymatic degradation of glucocapparin, a modified sugar found in capers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「methyl isothiocyanate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
