Overview | diphenylmethane diisocyanate is a kind of polymer monomer with great commercial value, mainly used in polyurethane foam, rubber, raw materials for fibers, coatings, etc. |
synthesis process | 1. Phosgene method [8-9] This method mainly consists of the following two main processes: condensation of aniline with formaldehyde and phosgenation of diamine condensates. (1) condensation process: aniline and 25% ~ 35% hydrochloric acid catalyst first react to generate aniline hydrochloride solution, and then add about 37% of formaldehyde aqueous solution, condensation reaction is carried out at 80 ℃ for 1~2H, reaction is carried out at elevated temperature up to about 100 ℃ for 1H, rearrangement reaction is carried out, and the solution is neutralized with caustic soda aqueous solution, and finally washed with water, layered, washed with water, (2) phosgenation: phosgenation reaction of the diamine condensate, in industry, it is usually divided into two stages: Low-temperature phosgenation and high-temperature phosgenation. In the low temperature phosgenation stage, the diamine is mainly reacted with phosgene and hydrogen chloride to form the corresponding diamine amide salt and hydrochloride. Please refer to the following figure for the specific process: Figure 1 Schematic diagram of condensation process between aniline and formaldehyde Figure 2 Schematic diagram of phosgenation process of diamine condensate Figure 3 process of preparing MDI by phosgene schematic diagram although the technology of this method is mature, phosgene is highly toxic, by-products corrosion equipment, residual chlorine products difficult to remove and environmental pollution and other shortcomings. 2. Thermal decomposition method Thermal decomposition method is the most promising green synthesis route for industrial application. Chen et al. studied the thermal decomposition reaction of 3% methyl diphenylmethane dicarbamate (MDC) at 260 ℃ with ultrafine ZnO as catalyst and dibutyl phthalate as solvent. The yield of DI was 52.1. With dibutyl phthalate as solvent and ZnO/Zn as Catalyst, the thermal decomposition of 2. 5 % MDC solution was carried out at 250 ℃, and the yield of MDI was 67.3. At 275 ℃, with Zn/SBA 15 as catalyst, dibutyl terephthalate and diisooctyl phthalate as mixed solvent, 0.3% MDC was thermally decomposed to MDI, and the yield was 84.3. Zhao et al at 280 deg C with zinc powder as catalyst, nitrobenzene and tetrahydrofuran as mixed solvent, 2% MDC thermal decomposition to produce MDI yield was 87.3. Bo et al. disclose a process for the decomposition of organic polycarbamates into organic polyisocyanates and phenols, which provides high yields of organic polyisocyanates at low temperatures. Under the condition of solvent, although the yield is higher, and can reduce the occurrence of polymerization reaction. The specific process of the method is as follows: Figure 4 schematic diagram of preparation of MDI by thermal decomposition Figure 5 Schematic diagram of preparation of MDI by laboratory thermal decomposition |

Diphenylmethane diisocyanate was derived into methyl diphenylmethane dicarbamate by using methanol as derivatization reagent.

Methyl diphenyl methane dicarbamate was completely separated from other compounds within 1. 5 min and detected by quadrupole mass spectrometry with selected ion monitoring mode. The linear range is 2-100μg/L, the detection limit is 1 μ/L, the correlation coefficient is 0.9994. |
Main use | diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) is the primary raw material for producing polyurethane (PU). Polyurethane materials produced by MDI are widely used in the production of automobile parts, soles, artificial leather, coatings, adhesives, thermal insulation materials, etc. Most of the MDI is used to produce foam, MDI is also widely used in elastomer, adhesive (dense) agents, coatings and plastics and other industries. |
