The conditions were found for the selective introduction of a bromine atom into the ring and into the side chain of 2- and 4-methyl-1,3-phenylene diisocyanates. The effect of the bromine atom in the obtained bromine derivatives on the reactivity of the NCO groups in reactions with nucleophilic reagents was determined. The reaction of the isocyanate with bromine in the presence of a catalyst (iodine, ferric chloride) led to the product from monobromination in the ring. The use of iodine or ferric chloride as catalyst reduces the reaction time by half, but the yield does not increase.
