Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 250-mL pressure tank reactor was purged, flushed and maintained with a hydrogen atmosphere, then, was added a solution of ethyl 2-(benzyl((diethoxyphosphoryl)methyl)amino)acetate (8.0 g, 23.32 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in ethanol (180 mL), acetic acid (10 mL), Pd/C (0.9 g). The resulting solution was stirred at 20 atm for 32 h at 50° C. The solids were filtered out, and the resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum. This resulted in 6.0 g (82%) of the acetic acid salt of ethyl 2-((diethoxyphosphoryl)methylamino)acetate as a brown oil.
