After standing overnight, the pH is adjusted to pH 5,6 with 2 N hydrochloric acid. The mixture is then evaporated to dryness. 20 ml of water are added and the mixture is washed 3 times with 20 ml of diethyl ether. The aqueous layer is adjusted to pH 12 with potassium hydroxide and extracted 4 times with 25 ml of chloroform. The organic layers are combined, dried, filtered and evaporated to dryness yielding ethyl 3-aminobutyl(diethoxymethyl)phosphinate, 31P-NMR spectrum: δ=±46.0 ppm (CDCl3).
