Reaction Steps
N-acetyl sarcosine (XX) (2.0 g, 15.3 mmole), phosphorous acid (1.25 g, 15.3 mmole) were mixed with concentrated sulfuric acid (3.1 g) and water (1.7 g) then refluxed in a 120° C. oil bath. Formalin, 37% (1.4 g, 16.7 mmole) was added dropwise over 20 min. and the reaction was continued for an additional 18 h. 31 p NMR analysis indicated 98% yield of (XXI) based on mmoles of (XX) charged.
