Glyphosate: Methods of Synthesis
D. Yu. Yushchenko, T. B. Khlebnikova, З. П. Пай, V. I. Bukhtiyarov
Abstract
The review describes the main chemical processes used in the preparation of glyphosate by different methods. Methods for the synthesis of glyphosate are considered, both industrial syntheses (from glycine and by oxidation of N-(phosphonomethyl)-iminodiacetic acid (PhIDAA)) and promising “atom-efficient” methods (dealkylation of N-substituted glyphosates).
