The synthesis of new bio-based chemical building blocks, resulting from the condensation of a renewable C-22 acyloin derived from non-edible castor oil, with mono- and bifunctional isocyanates is reported. The condensation with aliphatic mono-isocyanates was relatively straightforward, however phenyl isocyanates only resulted in low yields together with the formation of a cyclic hemi-aminal during purification. The condensation with diisocyanates was successful for the aliphatic hexamethylene diisocyanate. As for the aromatic 2,4-toluene diisocyanate, a low yield of the desired product was obtained, since a similar ring closing reaction took place. The urethanes were synthesized in order to evaluate their plasticizing and viscosity-modifying properties.
