Abstract
Abstract A process for the conversion of isocyanate groups to carbodiimide groups which comprises contacting the compound containing the isocyanate groups with a cyclic phosphorus compound which catalyses said conversion in the presence of a nitrogeneous base and the use of the products thereof in the manufacture of isocyanate-based polymers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
52 words
In a process for the conversion of isocyanate groups to carbodiimide groups which comprises contacting a compound containing isocyanate groups with a cyclic phosphorus compound which catalyses said conversion the improvement which comprises carrying out said conversion in the presence of a nitrogeneous base selected from 1,4-diazobicyclo-[2,2,2]-octane, N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine, triethylamine, pyrrolizidine and tetramethylguanidine.
