Ac. Draye et Jj. Tondeur, Kinetic study of organotin-catalyzed alcohol-isocyanate reactions Part 1. Inhibition by carboxylic acids in toluene, J MOL CAT A, 138(2-3), 1999, pp. 135-144
The influence of species such as carboxylic acids, esters and quaternary am
monium salts has been studied on the rate of the reaction between cyclopent
anol and 1,6-diisocyanatohexane catalyzed by di-n-butyltin di(2-ethylhexano
ate) in toluene at 55 degrees C. The results give a new evidence in agreeme
nt with Davies' mechanism in which the active catalytic form results from a
n alcoholysis of Sn carboxylate. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights
