The experimental procedure follows the general synthesis by the addition reaction of isocyanates with ε-caprolactam (CPL) [1,2]. A solution of 1,2-bis(p-isocyanato-phenyl)ethane (4,4'-dibenzyl diisocyanate) [3,4] (132 g, 0.5 mol) and 2-oxo-azepane (ε-caprolactam) (113 g, 1.0 mol) in 500 mL 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) was maintained at 60°C for 0.5 h. The homogeneous mixture was treated with 2 g triethyl amine (TEA) (used as a catalyst) and stirred at 70-80°C for another 3 h. The progress of reaction was followed by IR spectroscopy. At the end of reaction period, the mixture was cooled while stirring. When the crystalline product was obtained, it was isolated by filtration, washed with acetone or methanol and dried at 100°C. The product was a white crystalline solid (223 g, 91% yield). The adduct of 1-(o-isocyanato-phenyl)-2-(p-isocyanato-phenyl)ethane (2,4'-dibenzyl diisocyanate) with ε-caprolactam was obtained by the same method.
