The invention provides 1, 5-
naphthalene diisocyanate and a preparation process thereof, and the 1, 5-
naphthalene diisocyanate comprises the following raw materials by weight: 40-60 g of a 1, 5-
naphthalene disulfonic
acid derivative, 25-35 g of a
nitrogen source / carbonyl precursor, 3-7 g of a
phase transfer catalyst and 600-900 mL of a reaction
solvent. The 1, 5-naphthalene disulfonic
acid derivative provided by the invention can provide a naphthalene ring skeleton, and a
sulfonic acid group can be substituted in a subsequent reaction, so that a basis is provided for constructing a 1, 5-naphthalene diisocyanate structure. The
nitrogen source / carbonyl precursor is decomposed to generate amino and
carbon dioxide, the amino is used as a nucleophilic
reagent to be subjected to
substitution reaction with a
sulfonic acid group in the 1, 5-naphthalene disulfonic
acid derivative, and an
isocyanate group structure is constructed step by step. The long-chain
alkyl group of the
phase transfer catalyst has
lipophilicity and can interact with an organic phase, and the
quaternary ammonium cation part has hydrophilicity and can be combined with ions in a water phase, so that reactants or the catalyst in the water phase can be transferred to the organic phase in a
reaction system, the reactants originally in different phases can be in full contact, and the reaction efficiency is improved. The
reaction rate is greatly improved.
