Cyanic acid, with the molecular formula HOCN and a molecular weight of 43.025, is known for its isomeric structures, isocyanic acid (H-N=C=O), and fulminic acid (HO-N=C:). It exists as a liquid or gas at room temperature, with a boiling point of 23.5°C, and has an odor similar to acetic acid. Slightly soluble in water, it is a slightly stronger acid than acetic acid.
Cyanic acid is produced by heating cyanuric acid in an inert gas atmosphere and rapidly cooling and collecting the resulting gas.
Cyanic acid's cyano group makes it a valuable starting material in the synthesis of biologically important organic compounds. Its uses include:
Historically, hydrogen cyanide, a related compound, has been used as a chemical weapon and insecticide.
