Isocyanates may react with iron carbonyl to liberate toxic and flammable CO gas (Smith, P. A. S., Open-Chain Nitrogen Compounds, Vol. I. New York: W. A. Benjamin, Inc., 1965, pp. 225).
The reaction of isocyanates with alcohols to form carbamates is catalyzed by a variety of organometallic compounds. This reaction is the bedrock of the polyurethane industry (Richter, R.
