Reaction Steps

The invention relates to a process for preparation and distillative workup of diphenylmethane diisocyanate, referred to hereinafter as MDI for short, proceeding from a benzene-comprising feed stream, in which benzene is nitrated to nitrobenzene which is hydrogenated to aniline, aniline is reacted with formaldehyde to give methylenediphenylamine (MDA) and MDA is phosgenated to MDI. In this process, not the pure products but at first product mixtures are obtained in each process step, which are purified before further processing.
