Application

Allyl cyanide, 98%, serves multiple purposes, primarily as an anti-microbial agent and a pharmaceutical intermediate. This clear colorless to yellow liquid, which has the distinctive smell of green onion, exhibits significant toxicity due to the liberation of cyanide upon degradation. Despite its extremely poisonous nature, it holds value in various applications. As an aliphatic nitrile and olefinic compound, it can act as a neurotoxin and has roles as a plant metabolite and antifeedant. Furthermore, allyl cyanide's utility is demonstrated through its derivation as a degradation product of allyl isothiocyanate, a natural compound noted for its strong antimicrobial properties. This compound is soluble in alcohol and ether but only slightly soluble in water, making it suitable for specific chemical environments.
