Question

The valuable polymer polyurethane is made by a condensation
reaction of alcohols (ROH) with compounds that contain
an isocyanate group (RNCO). Two reactions that can
generate a urethane monomer are shown here:

 

(a) Which process, i or ii, is greener? Explain.
(b) What are the hybridization and geometry of the carbon
atoms in each C-containing compound in each reaction?
(c) If you wanted to promote the formation of the isocyanate
intermediate in each reaction, what could you do,
using Le Châtelier’s principle?
