Aryl and alkyl isocyanates have been efficiently converted into symmetrical trisubstituted aryl and alkyl isocyanurates, catalyzed by sodium p-toluenesulfinate on its own or in the presence of tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI), in a solvent-free condition. The latter has been shown to have a higher catalytic activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
