Tolylene-2, 4-diisocyanate (2, 4-TDI) 1 reacts with methanol through two simultaneous paths in the polyurethane reaction, which involve two different intermediates–tolylene-4- carbamatic-2-isocyanate 2 and tolylene-2-carbamatic-4-isocyanate 3, and the final product is tolylene-2, 4-dicarbamate 4. The–CH3 chemical shifts in benzene ring in compounds 1, 2, 3 and 4 can be easily tested and well distinguished, through which those four compounds ...
