The polymerization of aliphatic isocyanates by organometallic catalysts such as tributyltin oxide, Ti(OBuh or Zr(OBu),, was slow and no enhancement in rate was found on addition of DMF or DMSO, contrary to what was found with PhNCO. However, similar to the latter, fast reactions were observed with c

β¦ Synopsis
DMF and DMSO catalyse the reaction of butanol with PhNCO but inhibit that with aliphatic isocyanates, due to formation of an active 1 : 1 charge transfer complex with the aromatic isocyanate. Similarity was found in the mode of catalysis of the urethane reaction with these solvents to that with tert. amines. Various organometallic compounds were tested as catalysts for urethane formation with aliphatic isocyanates. Those that gave fast addition to the NCO group, such as tributyltin oxide, Zr(OBu)4 and Zr(acac)4, were the strongest catalysts. In the presence of organometallic catalysts, urethane formation was the sole reaction and trimerization of the isocyanate was suppressed.

The effect of the polarity of seven solvents (c = 2-60) on the rate of ozone reactions with stilbene and ally1 chloride has been studied. The data show that the rate of the reaction is insensitive to the medium polarity. The results of earlier publications are revised and are shown to be in agreemen
