Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → HCID 19430093, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.36 g of lithium hydroxide monohydrate in 7 ml of water is added to a solution of 1.61 g of 3-(p-chlorobenzylamino)propyl(diethoxymethyl)phosphinic acid ethyl ester in 3 ml of ethanol, and the mixture is heated at 60° for 24 hours. The mixture is then cooled to room temperature and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure. The evaporation residue is taken up in water and neutralised with phosphoric acid. A white precipitate forms and is filtered off, and the filtrate is concentrated to dryness by evaporation. The white residue is dried under reduced pressure and crystallised from toluene/diethyl ether. Filtration with suction and drying yield 3-(p-chlorobenzylamino)propyl(diethoxymethyl)phosphinic acid having a melting point of 177°-179°.
