Reaction kinetic studies between isocyanates and carboxylic acids were undertaken to evaluate the kinetic parameters. Various isocyanates (phenyl isocyanate, cyclohexyl isocyanate) and carboxylic acids (acetic acid, n-butyric acid, isobutyric acid, dimethylbutyric acid and benzoic acid) were used to study the kinetics of the reactions at different temperatures and in different solvents. It was found that these reactions followed the rate law of second-order reaction. From the Arrhenius plot, the activation energies of these reactions were computed.
