ChemSpider[edit]

I deleted the recent addition of a link to ChemSpider because the chemical structure there is incorrect. At one time the present Wikipedia article confused cyanic and isocyanic acids, so I see no reason now to go backwards. -- Is there an easy way to correct the drawing at ChemSpider and then to put the link back in here? -- Astrochemist 17:48, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

IUPAC name[edit]

Wouldn't the systematic name be methanalimine or iminomethanal? Qemist (talk) 00:29, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

carbamylation reaction[edit]

Should this article include a short discussion on isocyanic acid and carbamylation reactions (specifically carbamylation of proteins)? --74.179.96.106 (talk) 19:00, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think so. If you search PubMed for "carbamylation", you'll find a lot of good open-source reviews. --Nbauman (talk) 10:25, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Formulae[edit]

Currently the ChemBox shows the condensed structural formula, I suggest that the formal IUPAC and the Hill notations get added to it, for the purpose of the search engines, etc.

The infobox only accepts a single "formula", and I think we're supposed to use the canonical Hill form, especially for covalent-organics. For search-engine purposes, having the condensed structural form in the article body would definitely be a useful addition (could be part of a commentary about the different isomers).

Infobox is now Hill, and "HNCO" is in article text. What is "formal IUPAC"? DMacks (talk) 16:31, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
