Claims
- 1. A process for converting a bis cyclic urea having the formula ##STR12## into a diisocyanate having the formula
- OCN--C.sub.n H.sub.2n --NH--R--NH--C.sub.n H.sub.2n --NCO
- wherein C.sub.n H.sub.2n is the same in each formula and is alkylene from 4 to 12 inclusive and provided there are at least 4 carbon atoms in succession in the chain and R is the same in each formula and is a divalent radical selected from the group consisting of ##STR13## wherein C.sub.x H.sub.2x is alkylene from 1 to 8 inclusive, and ##STR14## which process comprises heating said bis cyclic urea at a temperature sufficiently high to open both rings of said cyclic urea to form said diisocyanate.
- 2. A process according to claim 1 wherein n is an integer from 4 to 6 inclusive and R is a divalent radical having the formula ##STR15##
- 3. A process according to claim 2 wherein n=4 and R is a divalent radical having the formula ##STR16##
- 4. A diisocyanate having the formula
- OCN--C.sub.n H.sub.2n --NH--R--NH--C.sub.n H.sub.2n --NCO
- wherein C.sub.n H.sub.2n is alkylene from 4 to 12 inclusive and provided there are at least 4 carbon atoms in succession in the chain and R is a divalent radical selected from the group consisting of ##STR17## wherein C.sub.x H.sub.2x is alkylene from 1 to 8 inclusive, and ##STR18##
- 5. A diisocyanate according to claim 4 wherein R is a divalent radical having the formula ##STR19## wherein C.sub.x H.sub.2x is alkylene from 1 to 8 inclusive
- 6. A diisocyanate according to claim 4 wherein R is a divalent radical having the formula ##STR20##
- 7. A diisocyanate having the formula ##STR21## wherein n is an integer from 4 to 6 inclusive.
- 8. A diisocyanate according to claim 7 having the formula ##STR22##
