• In the first period, lead(II) cyanate is prepared, and the urea is synthesized and purified.
• [23] They rightly disagreed with a previous suggested synthesis of cytosine from cyanoacetylene and cyanate (OCN–) because cyanate is rapidly hydrolyzed to CO2 and NH3.
• 23 They rightly disagreed with a previous suggested synthesis of cytosine from cyanoacetylene and cyanate (OCN-) because cyanate is rapidly hydrolyzed to CO2 and NH3.
• This is just as toxic as hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and only sparingly water-soluble:CN– + OCl– + H2O --> CICN + 2 OH–The rate at which cyanogen chloride is hydrolyzed to cyanate is strongly pH-dependent.
• Cl2 + CN- CNCl + Cl- CNCl + H2O OCN- + Cl- + 2H+ In the presence of a slight excess of chlorine, cyanate is further hydrolyzed to yield ammonia in a catalytic type of reaction.
