p-Tolylisocyanate (150 parts) was stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere at 115° C with 2,2,2-diazabicyclo-octane equivalent to the acidity of the isocyanate (0.14 parts) and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-phospholene-1-oxide (0.75 parts of a 0.1% solution in perchloroethylene) an amount of 5 ppm on the isocyanate. After 8 hours, examination by infra-red showed all isocyanate groups to have disappeared. The red-brown single phase liquid was distilled in vacuo to give 96.2 parts (77% of theory) of di-p-tolylcarbodiimide.
