Abstract

A process for forming 1-phenylvinyl-1-phosphonic acid utilizes reacting a mixture of phosphorus trihalide, such as phosphorus trichloride, and acetophenone with water, under conditions in which the water is gradually added to the mixture with cooling to form a reaction mixture, which can be sparged of excess acetophenone with aqueous acid while under vacuum, comprising the 1-phenylvinyl-1-phosphonic acid. This product can be recovered from the reaction mixture by recrystallization from aqueous mineral acid, such as hydrochloric acid.
