We report a fluoride-catalyzed deblocking of urethanes as “blocked” isocyanates. Organic and inorganic sources of fluoride ion proved effective for deblocking urethanes and for converting polyurethanes to small molecules. Distinct from conventional deblocking chemistry involving organometallic compounds and high temperatures, the method we describe is metal-free and operates at or slightly above room temperature. The use of fluorescent blocking agents enabled visual and spectroscopic monitoring of blocking/deblocking reactions, and the selected conditions proved applicable to urethanes containing a variety of blocking groups. The method additionally enabled a one pot deblocking and polymerization with α,ω-diols. Overall, this deblocking/polymerization strategy offers a convenient and efficient solution to problems that have limited the breadth of applications of polyurethane chemistry.

Both molybdenum(VI) dichloride dioxide (MoO2Cl2) and its dimethylformamide (DMF) complex catalyze the addition of alcohols to isocyanates giving carbamates. Most additions proceeded to completion at room temperature within 20 min using as little as 0.1 mol% of the catalyst when working on a 1-mmol scale or just 100 ppm working on a 20-mmol scale. Sterically encumbered substrates reacted to completion when 1 mol% of the catalyst was employed. Diols, triols, and tetraols reacted with monoisocyanates likewise, as did monofunctional alcohols and diisocyanates. These pairings furnished di-, tri-, tetra-, and dicarbamates, respectively. Reactants, which were poorly soluble in CH2Cl2 at room temperature required elevating the temperature and possibly choosing a higher-boiling solvent (ClCH 2CH2Cl, DMF) as well. Additions of diols to diisocyanates were feasible, too, giving polycarbamates as we presume. Copyright
