摘要 |
Alkylisocyanates are prepared by reacting a phenol or substituted phenol and phosgene in a halogenated hydrocarbon solvent with aqueous alkali metal hydroxide to produce a corresponding chloroformate, reacting the resulting chloroformate solution with aqueous alkylamine to give a corresponding N-alkylcarbamate which, after solvent is stripped, is then pyrolyzed to yield the alkyl isocyanate. Solvent and the starting phenol may be recovered and recycled to the process. |
