Application

Derivatizing reagent for primary and secondary amines. Used in sequencing peptides by Edman degradation and in amino acid analyses by HPLC.
Phenyl isothiocyanate may be employed as a derivatization reagent for high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis of various amphetamine derivatives in body fluids for forensic purposes.
Phenyl isothiocyanate (PIT) modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG), can be used as a reagent for PEGylation of protein using human serum albumin as a model protein.

General description

Phenyl isothiocyanate is an aromatic isothiocyanate. It participates in dehydration reactions of alcohols. It is widely used for synthesis of various biologically important heterocyclic compounds.
