Methanol → HCID 19809611, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

108 g of dimethyl methanephosphonate are added dropwise at 70° C. to a solution of 86 g of methacrylic acid and 32 g of methanol in the course of 30 minutes. After a reaction time of 3 hours the reaction mixture is worked up by vacuum distillation. 59 g of 3-(dimethylphosphinyl)-2-methylpropionic acid are obtained with a 91.1% purity, which corresponds to a theoretical yield of 29.5%.
