Caught in action: A mechanistic understanding of the tri-n-butylphosphine-catalyzed cyclo-oligomerization of alkyl isocyanates (RNCO, R=nBu, nHex) to products 1–3 has been developed at the molecular level. One of the key catalytic intermediates A was structurally characterized by in situ NMR spectroscopic analysis.
