Isocyanate
In organic chemistry, isocyanate is the functional group with the formula R−N=C=O. Organic compounds that contain an isocyanate group are referred to as isocyanates. An organic compound with two isocyanate groups is known as a diisocyanate. Diisocyanates are manufactured for the production of polyurethanes, a class of polymers.Isocyanates should not be confused with cyanate esters and isocyanides, very different families of compounds. The cyanate (cyanate ester) functional group (R−O−C≡N) is arranged differently from the isocyanate group (R−N=C=O). Isocyanides have the connectivity R−N≡C, lacking the oxygen of the cyanate groups.

isocyanate
Isocyanate is an organic compound that contains the functional group -N=C=O, with the structure R–N=C=O, where R represents an organic group. These groups react with compounds containing alcohol (hydroxyl) groups to produce polyurethane polymers, which are components of polyurethane foams, thermoplastics, and spandex fibers. They are known for their strong toxicity and their potential to cause health issues if inhaled or if they come in contact with the skin and eyes.

Isocyanate
Isocyanate is the functional group with the formula R–N=C=O. Organic compounds that contains an isocyanate group are referred to as isocyanates. An isocyanate that has two isocyanate groups is known as a di-isocyanate. Di-isocyanates are manufactured for reactions with polyols in the production of polyurethanes, a class of polymers. Isocyanates should not be confused with cyanate esters and isocyanides, whose behaviors are very different. The cyanate functional group is arranged opposite of the isocyanate group. Isocyanides have the connectivity R-N≡C, lacking the oxygen of the cyanate groups.
