Abstract

Mono- and di-urethanes (carbamates) are industrially im- portant products as they are not only useful agricultural chemicals or pesticides but also precursors for isocyanates which in turn are intermediates for high-performance plastics, polyurethanes, elastomers, adhesives, etc. The existing com- mercial production of isocyanates involves the reaction of highly poisonous and corrosive phosgene gas with the corresponding amines. One of the most promising ...
