Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Into a reaction vessel, which was heated to 100° C., with a reflux condenser (-15° C.), were simultaneously added aqueous formaldehyde (12.17 g of 37% solution) and a mixture of di(2-ethylhexyl)amine (36.22 g) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphonate (45.96 g). The mixture was heated for 1 hour with stirring and then cooled to 20° C. The water was removed by distillation under reduced pressure to give di(2-ethylhexyl){[di(2-ethylhexyl)amino]methyl}phosphonate, as a colourless liquid (nD20 =1.4563).
