Kinetics of water-isocyanate reaction in N,N-dimethylformamide
摘要
Abstract
The uncatalyzed reaction of
p
-tolyl isocyanate (
p
-TI) with water in
N
N
-dimethylformamide (DMF) was investigated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The reactions were carried out at different temperatures from 293 K to 323 K
using various molar ratios of water to
p
-TI. DMF
as a special amide
was proved to be an efficient catalyst for water-isocyanate reaction. Under the reaction conditions in this study
substituted urea was the only final product observed. An appreciable amount of intermediate
p
-toluidine was detected. Concentrations of the isocyanate group as well as the amine and urea were determined as a function of time. New kinetic equations were deduced for each of the substance on the basis of a multistep mechanism
instead of a simple second order reaction as usual. Kinetic constants were calculated using the software MATLAB. Furthermore
the effects of temperature and concentrations of reactants on the reaction rate and amine content were discussed. The activation energy of each step was also determined.
