Glyphosate → HCID 21954879, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Glyphosate acid, 169.07 g, was reacted with 90 g of isopropylamine in 122 g of distilled water in a closed vessel to produce a isopropylammonium glyphosate salt solution. (The closed vessel was necessary because the reaction is exothermic and isopropylamine boils at about 25° C.) The pressure within the vessel at first increases and then decreases as the reaction proceeds. The product, a clear viscous liquid, is miscible with water in all proportions and has a pH of about 6.5.
