Abstract

Polyether bis-phosphonic acid compounds are disclosed which have the formula (HO).sub.2 OP--R--(OR').sub.n --OR--PO(OH).sub.2 where R is selected from the group consisting of methylene and ethylene, R' is selected from the group consisting of ethylene and ethylene substituted with one or more methyl groups, and n is an integer from 1 to 4, water soluble salts thereof, and esters thereof with alkyl groups having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Also disclosed is a novel preparation of these compounds by reacting hydroxyalkylphosphonic acid dialkyl ester compounds with 2-benzyloxyalkyl organic sulfonates; reacting the intermediate formed therefrom with hydrogen or a hydrogen source; reacting the intermediate formed therefrom with a hydrogen ion acceptor and certain sulfonyl chlorides; and reacting the intermediate formed therefrom with hydroxyalkylphosphonic acid dialkyl ester compounds to form a polyether bis-phosphonic acid compound which may be hydrolyzed to form the polyether bis-phosphonic acid.
