Abstract
Abstract Polyamines containing aromatic and/or aliphatic primary amino groups are produced by hydrolyzing an isocyanate compound in the presence of water, an insoluble basic compound as a catalyst and a water-miscible solvent in a single reaction step. The isocyanate compound has an NCO-content of from 0.5 to 40 wt % and is preferably a prepolymer. The (pH-) basic compound is substantially insoluble in both water and the organic solvents generally used in such processes. An isocyanate-reactive compound may also be included in the reaction mixture in an amount which is from 0.1 to 15 wt % (based on isocyanate compound). The hydrolysis reaction is generally carried out at a temperature from 50° to 165° C. in a manner such that the reaction mixture remains substantially homogeneous. The product polyamines contain from 0.19 to 20.3 wt % primary amino groups. These polyamines are particularly useful in the production of polyurethanes.
