Abstract
Carbodiimides are prepared by reacting organic isocyanates at a temperature of at least 150.degree. C. in the presence of a catalyst having the formula ##STR1## wherein R and R' are the same or different and represent hydrogen, alkyl, aryl and when joined together form a heterocyclic ring; Y is hydrogen, alkyl, chloroalkyl, aryl, alkoxyphosphono and ##STR2## wherein Q is hydrogen, alkyl or aryl; Q' is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, COR" , and SO.sub.2 R" wherein R" is alkyl or aryl, and when Y is joined together with R, they form a heterocyclic ring; and X is oxygen or sulfur.
Claims8
A method for preparing carbodiimides which comprises heating an organic isocyanate at a temperature of at least about 150.degree. C. in the presence of a catalytic amount of a catalyst having the formula:
