  • The dehydration of N-methylformamide is a typical process for making methyl isocyanides.
  • Many metal cyanides form methyl isocyanide complexes when they react with methylating chemicals.
  • Chemical formula: C2H3N
  • The chemical methyl isocyanate (MIS) is used to make polyurethane foam, insecticides, and plastics. It is normally handled and transported as a liquid,which is easily combustible and explosive.
