A review of the literature yielded few reports that dealt with the utility of alkoxy isocyanates. 5 This is because most attempts to generate them have been unsuccessful due to their tendency to trimerize. 6 In 1960, McKay iso-lated the 1, 3, 5-tribenzyloxyisocyanuric acid 2 when tri-ethylamine was added to a solution of benzyloxyarnine hydrochloride and phosgene which had been heated at reflux in chlorobenzene7 (Scheme 2). In the ...
