Abstract
The cyclotrimerization of aryl isocyanates and the cyclodimerization of alkyl isocyanates initiated by one praseodymium benzenethiolate complex [Pr(SPh)3(THF)3] were investigated. Comparative runs with [Pr(SPh)3(THF)3] and its precursor Pr[(Me3Si)2N]3 showed that the former has the advantages of a higher selectivity toward isocyanates, easy preparation, low catalyst loading, high conversion as well as mild reaction conditions.
