Glyphosate → N-(Carboxymethyl)-N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The percent selectivity to N-phosphonomethylglycine was determined by dividing the moles of N-phosphonomethylglycine and N-formyl-N-phosphonomethylglycine produced by the total moles of N-phosphonomethyliminodiacetic acid consumed and multiplying by 100. The percent conversion of N-phosphonomethyliminodiacetic acid was determined by dividing the moles of N-phosphonomethyliminodiacetic acid that were reacted by the total moles of starting N-phosphonomethyldiacetic acid and multiplying by 100.
