Methyl Isocyanate → 2,4-Hexadiyn-1,6-diol bis(methylurethane)

Participants

Reaction Steps

The limitation in this process is that the total number of diols and isocyanates or diols and organic sulfonic acid agents is at least three, thereby resulting in a co-crystallized composition directly recoverable from the reaction mixture. For example, methylisocyanate can be reacted with a mixture of 2,4-hexadiyn-1,6-diol and 3,6-octadiyne-1,8-diol to yield a co-crystallized composition of (1) 2,4-hexadiyn-1,6-diol bis(methylurethane) and (2) 3,5-octadiyn-1,8-diol bis(methylurethane). Similarly, methylisocyanate and ethylisocyanate can be reacted with 2,4-hexadiyn-1,6-diol to yield a co-crystallized composition of (1) 2,4-hexadiyn-1,6-diol bis(methylurethane), (2) 2,4-hexadiyn-1,6-diol bis(ethylurethane) and (3) 2,4-hexadiyn-1-ol-methylurethane-6-ol-ethylurethane.
