According to the process of the invention, amino aryl phosphoric acid derivatives or amino aryl thiophosphoric acid derivatives are converted to the corresponding isocyanates by phosgenation. Any suitable phosgenation method may be used, such as, for example, the cold phasehot phase phosgenation or even according to the hydrochloride process, the corresponding amine hydrochloride being phosgenated. A suitable phosgenation process is disclosed in US. Patent 2,680,127. The process can be carried out either continuously or intermittently. Advantageously, one employs an inert solvent, such as, toluene,
benzene, xylylene, trichloroethylene, chlorobenzene, o-
dichlorobenzene. The temperature for the phosgenation reaction is not critical. However, it is preferable not to choose too high a temperature for the phosgenation. For this reason, the cold phase-hot phase phosgenation is preferred to the hydrochloride process. In the cold phasehot phase phosgenation, the mixture of earbamic acid chloride and amine hydrochloride occurs in such a fine suspension that the hot phase phosgenation is completed in a short time. Temperatures between about 80 C. and about C. are preferred in the final phase of the phosgenation, although higher and lower temperatures may be used, if desired.
Recrystallization or distillation of the isocyanates prepared according to the process of this invention is not necessary in most cases, since the products are obtained in a relatively pure form. However, any carbamic acid chloride which may still be present should be destroyed. The excess phosgene may be adequately removed by heating the reaction mixture for a short time at reduced pressure below the boiling point or by blowing an inert gas through the reaction mixture at an elevated temperature.
It was not to be expected that the phosgenation of the amino aryl phosphoric acid ester derivatives and the like would proceed without cleavage of the ester, thioester or amide bonds. However, the process of the invention proceeds in a surprisingly simple and convenient manner. The isocyanato aryl phosphoric acid derivatives are obtained in unexpectedly high yields usually exceeding 80% of the theoretical. The formation of acid chlorides which would be expected from the reaction of phosgene does not take place. Further, the acid chlorides do not appear as secondary products even in small quantities.
In order to better describe and further classify the invention, the following are specific embodiments.
Example 6 About 1.5 liters of substantially anhydrous chlorobenzene are placed in a three-liter flask, cooled to about 10 C. and thereafter about 800 g. of phosgene are in troduced and condensed. At the same temperature about 371 g. of finely powdered 4,4,4"-triamino-triphenyl phosphate are added in portions. The mixture is stirred for about four hours in the cold and then left overnight at room temperature. Thereafter, a powerful stream of phosgene is introduced at a temperature of between about 90 C. and about 110 C. until a homogeneous solution is present. The chlorobenzene solution is then blown out with nitrogen and the chlorobenzene distilled off in vacuo. The residue is thereafter treated for approximately another hour at about 160 C. under high vacuum in order to destroy remaining traces of carbamic acid chloride.
The yellow oil which remains is 4,4',4"-triisocyanatophenyl phosphate. It crystallizes after a few days as an analytically-pure white waxy mass. Yield: 380 g. (85% of the theoretical).

Example 7 About 354 g. of p-aminophenyl-thiophosphoric acid-triester are slowly introduced at a temperature of between about minus C. and about 0 C. into a solution of about 600 g. of phosgene in about 2.5 liters of chlorobenzene and the mixture is left standing overnight in the cold. The temperature is thereafter raised with further introduction of phosgene. After about 6 hours, at a phosgenation temperature of about 100 C. to about 110 C. everything dissolves except for a slight slimy residue, which is filtered off following addition of substantially anhydrous active carbon. A light-yellow melt, 4,4'4"-triisocyanato phenyl thiophosphate, is left, which soon solidifies into crystalline form. Yield 380 g. (82% of the theoretical), M.P. 84 C.86 C.
Analysis. Calculated: C=54.1%, H=Z.6%, N=9.05%, P=6.7%, S=6.9%. Found: C=53.9%, H=2.8%, N=9.1%, P=6.9%, S=7.3%.
Example 8 About 700 g. of phosgene are liquified in about 1.5 liters of chlorobenzene at about C. Thereafter, a solution of about 475 g. of diethyl mono-p-aminophenylthiophosphoric acid-triester, dissolved in about 1 liter of chlorobenzene, is added dropwise so that the temperature does not rise higher than about 0 C. After standing in the cold overnight, more phosgene is introduced at about 100 C. to about 110 C. A light clear solution has formed after about 4 hours. This is worked up as in Example 2. About 472 g. of the slightly brownish oily isocyanate are obtained as residue. B.P.: 147 C149 C. (with slight decomposition).

8 Example 10 About 1 moi of a p-nitrophenyl phosphoric acid ester prepared by the nitration of the phenyl ester of phosphoric acid having the formula at about 5 C. to about 0 C. is dissolved in about 3000 cc. of methanol and introduced into a 7 liter stirrer-type autoclave after adding about 25 grams of fresh Raney nickel. The reduction is completed after about 3 hours at a temperature of about 50 C. and a hydrogen pressure of between about 20 and 40 atmospheres. The corresponding amino phenyl phosphoric acid ester is obtained. This amine is then reacted with an excess of phosgene under substantially anhydrous conditions in chlorobenzene by cooling the chlorobenzene solution of the amine to about 10 C. and introducing about 800 grams of phosgene which had been previously dissolved in chlorobenzene and cooled to about 10 C. The mixture is stirred for about 4 hours and then left overnight at room temperature. Thereafter, a powerful stream of phosgene is introduced at a temperature of between about C. and about C. until a homogeneous solution results. The chlorobenzene is then removed and the residue is treated for about 1 hour at about C. under high vacuum to destroy the carbamic acid chloride. The resulting product is the isocyanato phosphorous compound having the formula Although only some of the aforementioned isocyanato aryl phosphoric acid and thiophosphoric acid derivatives were prepared in the foregoing examples, it is to be understood that any of the class of phosphoric acid derivatives more fully disclosed above can be prepared in a similar manner. Further, any of the corresponding amino compounds, more fully disclosed above can be phosgenated in accordance with the process disclosed by the examples to produce the corresponding isocyanato aryl phosphoric acid derivatives.
It is obvious that the process of the invention may be used to produce monoisocyanates, diisocyanates, triisocyanates or higher polyisocyanates. The monoisocyanates and polyisocyanates obtainable by the process of the present invention are useful as starting materials for the manufacture of polyurethane plastics. They may be polymerized by the well-known isocyanate polyaddition process to prepare cellular polyurethanes or homogeneous polyurethanes having improved flame resistance. Coatings produced from the isocyanates of the present invention may be used to replace oil base paint for coating metals or other substrates.
Although the invention has been described in considerable detail in the foregoing for the purpose of illustration, it is to be understood that such detail is solely for this purpose and that variations can be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention except as is set forth in the claims.
