Microchemical detection of isocyanides.
Microgram quantities of isocyanides may be easily detected on filter paper or in tubes of silica gel by using benzidine acetate-copper(II) acetate or p,p'-tetramethyldiaminodiphenylmethane-copper(II) sulphate reagents. Interferences include those substances which are known to interfere in the use of the same reagents for the detection of hydrogen cyanide. The lowest amount of n-, s-, or t-butyl isocyanide detectable is approximately 0.1 mug.
