The rates of reaction with ethanol of a group of phenyl-substituted isocyanates (phenyl isocyanate, m-tolylene diisocyanate and£,¿>'-diisocyanatodiphenylmethane) and a group of benzyl-substituted isocyanates (benzyl isocyanate, 1, 3-xylylene diisocyanate, 1, 4-xylylene diisocyanate and 5-/-butyl-l, 3-xylyiene diisocyanate) were measured and compared. The energies of activation were calculated using the Arrhenius equation. The benzyl type reacts more slowly than the phenyl type, but their rates converge at higher temperatures because the former have significantly higher energies ofactivation. The reaction mechanism, which is the same for both classes, is first order in isocyanate and in alcohol concentration. The observation that electron-withdrawing substituents accelerate the rate of reaction is discussed with respectto the fine mechanism of the reaction.In recent years, a new type of polyester rubber2 has been developed which requires the use of di-isocyanates. In this synthesis, the reaction of hydroxyl groups with isocyanate groups is quite important. We chose this reaction for study in order to compare several new diisocyanates with previously available diisocyanates.
