Isocyanates [PDF ebook] 
Advances in Research and Applications

Isocyanates represent the most important class of heterocumulenes. They have found wide synthetic application, for example in the preparation of amides, esters, peptides, nucleotides, heterocyclic compounds; for the identification of amines, alcohols, and nucleic acids; for the synthesis of bioactive compounds revealing a wide spectrum of biological activity; in the design of effective medicines, herbicides and insecticides; and as chemical intermediates in the production of polyurethane products such as foams, coatings, and elastomers. This book provides new research and reviews several applications of isocyanates.
