Abstract

Styrene phosphonic acid (SPA) can be formed the reaction of phosphorous acid with acetophenone, preferably in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, to form a hydroxy adduct intermediate thereof which is then reacted with acetic anhydride to form the acyl derivative of the hydroxy adduct, followed by removal of an acetic acid moiety therefrom, preferably in the presence of an acidic catalyst, to form the styrene phosphonic acid product.
