The invention relates to a process for preparing a diisocyanate of the formula (A)

##STR00001## where R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, and combinations thereof, comprising the following process steps in the indicated order; 1) providing an intermediate of the formula (B) with a process using lysine and urea

##STR00002##

and  where R and each R′ are independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, and combinations thereof; and 2) thermolytic cleavage of the intermediate of the formula (B), thereby affording the diisocyanate of the formula (A),
and also to the diisocyanate directly prepared therewith.
