Reaction Steps

A finely divided mixture of 2-oxo-4-(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)butanoic acid (1.80 g, 10 mmol) and acetamide (1.18 g, 20 mmol) were heated at 100° for 5 hours at 20 mm Hg. The mixture melted with evolution of water vapour. The final product was a yellow glass-like solid which was evacuated at 0.1 mm Hg at 100° for one hour to remove excess acetamide.
