Reaction Steps

66 ml of HBr at 33% by weight in acetic acid are added to 4.9 g (11.5 moles) of 4,4'-biphenyl-diphosphonic acid tetra-ethyl ester and the mixture is heated at 80° C. for 4 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature, 150 ml of H2O are added under agitation and the precipitate obtained is filtered, washed with water and vacuum dried (20 mm Hg) at 45° C. for one night. 2.29 g of 4,4'-biphenyl-diphosphonic acid, with a molar yield of 66% are obtained.
