Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a process of preparing N,N'-disubstituted methylene phosphonic acids by reacting α,ω-alkylene diamines with essentially 2 equivalents of formaldehyde and phosphorus acid based on replaced nitrogen-bonded hydrogens. This invention also relates to compositions formed by the process and to the uses for these compositions such as for inhibiting scale, etc.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
85 words
A process of preparing an N,N-dimethylene phosphonic acid of the formula NH.sub.2 (CH.sub.2).sub.n N(CH.sub.2 PO.sub.3 H.sub.2).sub.2 where n=2-20, which comprises reacting in aqueous solution one mole of a diamine of the formula NH.sub.2 (CH.sub.2).sub.n NH.sub.2 where n has the aforesaid value, with essentially two equivalents each, based on nitrogen-bonded hydrogen, of formaldehyde and phosphorous acid, at a pH of less than 2 and a temperature from 80° to 150° C., the formaldehyde and phosphorous acid being added in either order or together to the diamine.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
85 words
A process of preparing an N,N-dimethylene phosphonic acid of the formula NH.sub.2 (CH.sub.2).sub.n N(CH.sub.2 PO.sub.3 H.sub.2).sub.2 where n=2-20, which comprises reacting in aqueous solution one mole of a diamine of the formula NH.sub.2 (CH.sub.2).sub.n NH.sub.2 where n has the aforesaid value, with essentially two equivalents each, based on nitrogen-bonded hydrogen, of formaldehyde and phosphorous acid, at a pH of less than 2 and a temperature from 80° to 150° C., the formaldehyde and phosphorous acid being added in either order or together to the diamine.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
84 words
A process of preparing an N,N-dimethylene phosphonic acid of the formula NH.sub.2 (CH.sub.2).sub.n N(CH.sub.2 PO.sub.3 H.sub.2).sub.2 where n=2-20, which comprises reacting in aqueous solution one mole of a diamine of the formula NH.sub.2 (CH.sub.2).sub.n NH.sub.2 where n has the aforesaid value, with essentially two equivalents each, based on nitrogen-bonded hydrogen, of formaldehyde and phosphorous acid, at a pH of less than 2 and a temperature from 80° C. to 150° C., the formaldehyde being added to a mixture of the diamine and phosphorous acid.
