Glyphosine was introduced in 1973 and is preferably used in sugar beets. The synthesis starting with glycine uses two equivalents of formaldehyde and of phosphorous trichloride under oxidative conditions. A second derivative of Glyphosate is a cyclic phosphaoxazole being formed from Glyphosate and formaldehyde. This compound is claimed to control the growth of some grasses without dis- coloration or phytotoxicity.
