Abstract
Abstract Amino alkylene phosphonic acids such as ethylene diamine tetra(methylene phosphonic acid), diethylene triamine penta-(methylene phosphonic acid), nitrilo tris-(methylene phosphonic acid), and others are obtained in a high yield by reacting alkylene glycol chlorophosphites with an aldehyde or ketone and an amine or an acid addition salt thereof or an acid amide of a lower mono- or dicarboxylic acid, such as formamide, oxamide, or urea. The resulting reaction solution can directly be added to fluid or solid cleaning agents or the substantially pure amino alkylene phosphonic acid can be recovered therefrom.

Claim 12
Dependent Claim
103 words
In a process of producing an amino alkylene phosphonic acid which comprises heating in an aqueous medium a phosphorus compound with an aliphatic carbonyl compound selected from the group consisting of an aliphatic aldehyde and an aliphatic ketone, and with a nitrogen-containing compound at a temperature between room temperature and 150*C. until the corresponding amino alkylene phosphonic acid is formed and crystallized from the reaction mixture, and separating the crystallized product from the reaction mixture, the improvement which comprises said phosphorus compound being a cyclic alkylene glycol halogenophosphite and said nitrogen-containing compound being an acid amide of a lower mono- or di-carboxylic acid.
