Participants

Reaction Steps

The diphosphonate, [3-phenyl-5(4H)-isoxazolylidene]bisphosphonic acid tetraethyl ester (III, EXAMPLE 9, 2.10 g) in chloroform (10 ml) is treated with bromotrimethylsilane (4.0 ml) and heated to 50°-60° for 5 hrs. The reaction is concentrated under reduced pressure with heat, taken up in ethyl acetate, extracted with water, and the aqueous fractions are filtered and freeze dried to give (3-phenyl-5(4H)isoxazolylidene)bisphosphonic acid.
