Versuchsvorschrift

To the imine from isobutyraldehyde and benzylamine (51.4 g; 0.3 mole) was added phosphorous acid (24.6 g; 0.3 mole). While stirring the mixture was slowly warmed to 65°-70° when a vigorous exothermic reaction was initiated. The reaction temperature reached 130°-145°. Upon cooling the reaction mixture became a glass. This glass was dissolved in water and basified. Extraction with benzene yielded benzylisobutylamine. The aqueous portion was acidified and after removal of sodium chloride yielded a phosphonic acid (20 g). Recrystallization gave a white solid (12 g) mp 186°-190° the N-benzyl α-aminophosphonic acid. ##STR35##
