Sodium cyanate

Sodium cyanate (CAS 917-61-3), also known as NaOCN, is an inorganic salt used as a reactive intermediate and reagent in pharmaceutical synthesis, agricultural chemistry, and biochemical research.

Where is Sodium cyanate used?

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing: building block for urea-based active ingredients and carbamylating agents
• Agricultural chemistry: precursor in herbicide synthesis for broadleaf weeds
• Biochemistry research: carbamylates proteins and amino acids to study protein structure and enzyme activity
• It also acts as a pH buffer and nitrogen source in fermentation and microbial culture media.

Commercial specifications

• High-purity specifications for laboratory applications
• Packaging from kilogram-scale laboratory quantities to bulk industrial supply
