Abstract

AbstractCyclotrimerization of phenyl isocyanate in the presence of various catalysts was studied. All reactions were carried out in 1,4‐dioxane at 30–50°C. Reaction products were determined by reverse‐phase liquid chromatography. 1,3,5‐Triphenyl isocyanurate was formed and also traces of 1,3‐diphenylurea and 1,3,5‐triphenylbiuret were found. The catalytic activity decreased in the following series: quaternary ammonium salt > organic acid salt ≫ tertiary amine. Apparent rate constants of cyclotrimerization were calculated and the overall reaction order is discussed. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
