Abstract
The rate of cyclotrimerization of phenyl isocyanate in chlorobenzene at 120 °C in the presence of the tertiary amine-α-oxide-proton donor (PD) ternary catalytic system has been studied using a dual calorimeter and a series of phenols with various acidities as the PD. In the presence of weakly acidic phenols, complexes of quaternary ammonium type bases are formed in the ternary catalytic systems. Acidic phenols afford salt complexes with the transfer or a proton from phenol to the tertiary amine in a quantitative yield, while the α-oxide present remains unaffected. The structures of the complexes were studied by IR and by IR and1H NMR spectroscopy.
