Abstract: | This paper describes in a review fashion research on the olfactory detection of various electrophiles including toxic organophosphorus compounds. The method involves rapid formation of an odoriferous alkyl isocyanide from reaction of the electrophile with N-alkylformamides. Concepts of using olfactory sensing and a colorimetric procedure as subjective and objective methods, respectively, for isocyanides are discussed. |
