Hunky Dory is the fourth studio album by English singer-songwriter David Bowie, released on 17 December 1971 by RCA Records. It was his first release through RCA. Following the hard rock sound of The Man Who Sold the World, Hunky Dory marked a move towards art rock and art pop styles. Co-produced by Ken Scott and Bowie himself, it was recorded in mid-1971 at Trident Studios in London and featured Rick Wakeman on piano and the musicians who would be known as the Spiders from Mars – comprising Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder and Mick Woodmansey; the album cover, photographed by Brian Ward and airbrushed by Terry Pastor, was influenced by a Marlene Dietrich photo book that Bowie took with him to the photoshoot. The album was released to favourable critical and commercial reception but wasn't a major success until the commercial breakthrough of his following album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, it was supported by the singles "Changes" in 1972 and "Life on Mars?" in 1973.

Retrospectively, Hunky Dory has received critical acclaim and is regarded as one of Bowie's best works. Time chose it as part of their "100 best albums of all time" list in January 2010, with journalist Josh Tyrangiel praising Bowie's "earthbound ambition to be a boho poet with prodigal style"; the album has been remastered in 2015 as part of the Five Years box set. With new bass player Trevor Bolder replacing Tony Visconti, Hunky Dory was the first production featuring all the members of the band that would become known the following year as Ziggy Stardust's Spiders From Mars – comprising Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder and Mick Woodmansey. Debuting with Bowie, in Visconti's place as producer, was another key contributor to the Ziggy phase, Ken Scott; the album's sleeve would bear the credit "Produced by Ken Scott". The "actor" was Bowie himself, whose "pet conceit", in the words of NME critics Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray, was "to think of himself as an actor". Keyboardist Rick Wakeman of the Strawbs and a noted session musician, plays the piano on the album.

Author Peter Doggett describes Hunky Dory as "a collective of attractively accessible pop songs, through which Bowie tested out his feelings about the nature of stardom and power." Musical biographer David Buckley said of the album: "Its easy-listening status and conventional musical sensibility has detracted from the fact that, this record lays down the blueprint for Bowie's future career." The opening track, "Changes", focused on the compulsive nature of artistic reinvention and distancing oneself from the rock mainstream. However, the composer took time to pay tribute to his influences with the tracks "Song for Bob Dylan", "Andy Warhol" and the Velvet Underground inspired "Queen Bitch". Following the hard rock of Bowie's previous album The Man Who Sold the World, Hunky Dory saw the partial return of the fey pop singer of Space Oddity, with light fare such as "Kooks" and the cover "Fill Your Heart" sitting alongside heavier material like the occult-tinged "Quicksand" and the semi-autobiographical "The Bewlay Brothers".

Between the two extremes was "Oh! You Pretty Things", whose pop tune hid lyrics, inspired by Nietzsche, predicting the imminent replacement of modern man by "the Homo Superior", and, cited as a direct precursor to "Starman" from Bowie's next album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Bowie had been without a recording contract when he started work on the album at Trident Studios on 8 June 1971. RCA Records in New York heard the tapes and signed him to a three-album deal on 9 September 1971, releasing Hunky Dory on 17 December. Supported by the single "Changes", the album scored favourable reviews and sold reasonably well on its initial release, without being a major success. Melody Maker called it "the most inventive piece of song-writing to have appeared on record in a considerable time", while NME described it as Bowie "at his brilliant best". In the United States, Rolling Stone opined that "Hunky Dory not only represents Bowie's most engaging album musically, but finds him once more writing enough to let the listener examine his ideas comfortably, without having to withstand a barrage of impregnable verbiage before getting at an idea".

However, it was only after the commercial breakthrough of Ziggy Stardust in mid-1972 that Hunky Dory became a hit, climbing to number 3 in the UK and remaining on the chart for 69 weeks. In 1973, RCA released "Life on Mars?" as a single, which made number 3 in the UK. A reissue returned the album, to the British chart, where it remained for 51 weeks. In 1998, Q magazine readers voted Hunky Dory the 43rd greatest album of all time, while in 2000 the same magazine placed it at number 16 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever, it was voted number 23 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums 3rd Edition. In 2003, the album was ranked 107th on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, 108 in a 2012 revised list. In the same year, VH1 placed it 47th and the Virgin All Time Top 1000 Albums chart placed it at number 16. In 2004, it was ranked 80th on Pitchfork's Top 100 Albums of the 1970s. In 2006, TIME magazine chose it as one of the 100 best albums of all time. According to Acclaimed Music, it is the 70th most celebrated album in popular music history.

Isothiocyanate is the chemical group –N=C=S, formed by substituting the oxygen in the isocyanate group with a sulfur. Many natural isothiocyanates from plants are produced by enzymatic conversion of metabolites called glucosinolates; these natural isothiocyanates, such as allyl isothiocyanate, are known as mustard oils. An artificial isothiocyanate, phenyl isothiocyanate, is used for amino acid sequencing in the Edman degradation. Cruciferous vegetables, such as bok choy, cabbage, cauliflower and others, are rich sources of glucosinolate precursors of isothiocyanates. Although there has been some basic research on how isothiocyanates might exert biological effects in vivo, there is no high-quality evidence to date for its efficacy against human diseases; the general method for the formation of isothiocyanates proceeds through the reaction between a primary amine and carbon disulfide in aqueous ammonia. This results in precipitation of the ammonium dithiocarbamate salt, treated with lead nitrate to yield the corresponding isothiocyanate.

Another method relies on a tosyl chloride mediated decomposition of dithiocarbamate salts that are generated in the first step above. Isothiocyanates may be accessed via the thermally-induced fragmentation reactions of 1,4,2-oxathiazoles; this synthetic methodology has been applied to a polymer-supported synthesis of isothiocyanates. Reflecting their electrophilic character, isothiocyanates are susceptible to hydrolysis. Isothiocyanates occur in nature and are of interest in food science and medical research. Vegetable foods with characteristic flavors due to isothiocyanates include bok choy, cabbage, kale, horseradish, radish, Brussels sprouts, papaya seeds and capers; these species generate isothiocyanates in different proportions, so have different, but recognizably related, flavors. They are all members of the order Brassicales, characterized by the production of glucosinolates, of the enzyme myrosinase, which acts on glucosinolates to release isothiocyanates. Sinigrin is the precursor to allyl isothiocyanate Glucotropaeolin is the precursor to benzyl isothiocyanate Gluconasturtiin is the precursor to phenethyl isothiocyanate Glucoraphanin is the precursor to sulforaphane Isothiocyanate and its linkage isomer thiocyanate are ligands in coordination chemistry.

Thiocyanate is more common ligand. Methylisothiocyanate
