Acrylic Acid → HCID 46216325, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using the method of Example 2, 432 g (6 mol) of acrylic acid were first admixed, at from 65 to 80° C. in the presence of 428 g of a 5% strength sodium peroxodisulfate solution (1.5 mol % based on acrylic acid) with 636 g (6 mol) of sodium hypophosphite monohydrate dissolved in 860 g of water. The resultant reaction mixture was then reacted with propylene in the presence of 428 g of a 5% strength sodium peroxodisulfate solution (1.5 mol % based on propylene). Appropriate work-up gave 655 g (61% of theory) of 3-(propylhydroxyphosphinyl)propionic acid as colorless solid; chlorine content: <0.1 ppm.
