Investigations of catalysis of urethane formation using organotin dicarboxylate

The reaction mechanism of the urethane formation for both aliphatic and aromatic isocyanates in the presence of organotin dicarboxylate as a catalyst is investigated theoretically and experimentally. Modelling on a dispersion corrected DFT level of theory (B3LYP-D3) shows that an alkoxide complex is...
