Methyl thiocyanate Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

Methyl thiocyanate is a colorless liquid. Onion-like odor

Definition

ChEBI: Methyl thiocyanate is a member of the class of thiocyanates, being the methyl ester of thiocyanic acid.

General Description

Colorless liquid and an odor of onions. Used as an agricultural insecticide, a fumigant and as a research chemical. No evidence of commercial production in the U.S.

Air & Water Reactions

Very slightly soluble in water [Merck].

Reactivity Profile

Methyl thiocyanate is a moderately toxic liquid, flammable. Violent, possibly explosive oxidation reaction when mixed with chlorates, nitrates, nitric acid, organic or inorganic peroxides, perchlorates. On contact with mineral acids or acid fumes deadly toxic hydrogen cyanide gas is produced. When heated to decomposition or on contact with mineral acids Methyl thiocyanate emits highly toxic fumes of nitriles, oxides of sulfur and nitrogen [Lewis, 3rd ed., 1993, p. 879, 1234].

Health Hazard

Methyl thiocyanate is highly toxic if ingested. It is a rapidly acting poison.

Fire Hazard

When heated to decomposition, Methyl thiocyanate emits very toxic fumes of oxides of nitrogen and sulfur. (Non-Specific -- Thiocyanates) Incompatible with nitric acid. Violent reactions have occurred when mixed with chlorates, nitrates, nitric acid, organic peroxides, peroxides, potassium chlorate, and sodium chlorate. Methyl thiocyanate is volatile.

Safety Profile

Poison by ingestion, intravenous, and subcutaneous routes. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of NOx and SOx.

Potential Exposure

It is used as an agricultural insecticide; a fumigant; and as a research chemical. No evidence of commercial production in the United States.

Shipping

UN2929 Toxic liquids, flammable, organic, n.o.s., Hazard class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poison Inhalation Hazard, 3-Flammable liquid, Technical Name Required. UN1992 Flammable liquids, toxic, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 3; Labels: 3-Flammable liquid, 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required.

Incompatibilities

Incompatible with nitric acid. Violent reactions have occurred when mixed with chlorates, nitrates, nitric acid; peroxides, potassium chlorate; and sodium chlorate.
