Abstract
Abstract An improved process is described for the reaction of an isocyanate (mono or poly) with a carboxylic acid or anhydride (mono or poly) to form the corresponding imide, amide or amide-imides. The improvement lies in using as the catalyst the 1-oxide, 1-sulfide or 1-hydrocarbylimino derivative of a phospholene, phospholane or phosphetane. The latter compounds are also substituted in the 1-position by a hydrocarbyl (C1-12) or halohydrocarbyl (C1-12) and may additionally carry one or more halo, lower-alkoxy, phenoxy, lower-hydrocarbyl or halo-substituted hydrocarbyl groups on the ring carbon atoms.
