Diethylphosphonoacetic acid is synthesised using triethyl phosphonoacetate as a raw material by chemical reaction. The specific synthesis steps are as follows:
After dissolving triethyl phosphonoacetate (1.7 g, 7.5 mmol) in ethanol / water (15 mL ie 14: 1) at room temperature, potassium hydroxide (424.2 mg, 7.56 mmol, ) 6597-4400) was added and stirred at room temperature. The reaction was neutralized with 1N HCl to pH 4, the ethanol was removed by distillation under reduced pressure, diluted with chloroform (20 mL), washed with water (10 mL) and saturated brine (10 mL). The separated organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and distilled under reduced pressure to obtain 2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)acetic acid 4 (1.48 gm, 100percent).
