I know enzyme catalyzed reactions and Ti(OBu)4 catalyzed reactions make such polyesters with siloxanes (PDMS), but are there any other methods?

What are the better conditions for making polyurethanes?

The monomer (di alcohol) is not soluble in chloroform or dichloromethane, and the solubility of di-isocyanate is not an issue. I am using tin octonate as catalyst.
