Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

61.2 g of 3-(diethoxyphosphonoethyl)-5-ethyl-5-methyl-hydantoin (0.2 mol), 277.5 g of epichlorohydrin (3.0 mols) and 0.2 g of tetramethylammonium chloride are stirred for 90 minutes at 115° - 119° C. The mixture is then cooled to 60° C and 17.6 g of 50% strength aqueous sodium hydroxide solution are added dropwise over the course of 4 hours whilst stirring, under a waterpump vacuum. The water present in the mixture is removed by azeotropic circulatory distillation analogously to Example 1 (c). The mixture is worked up analogously to Example 1 (c) and 65.7 g of a yellow, clear, viscous resin (90.6% of theory) having an epoxide content of 2.71 epoxide equivalents/kg (96.7% of theory) are obtained. The product contains 0.65% of chlorine and 6.72% of phosphorus.
