In this paper, were reviewed the aminomethylenephosphonic acids which have several synthesis routes and many applications as separation of metals and rare earth by solvant extraction, N-C-P in medicinal chemistry, pesticides/herbicides and water-decontamination systems, organometallic complexes: MOF, gas absorption, proton conductivity and Magnetic shielding tensors / aminotris(methylenephosphonates). Key words: Aminomethylphosphonic; solvent extraction; chelate; rare earth metals; pesticides; herbicides. INTRODUCTION O O H H N C N P Aminophosphonic acid can be an OH OH attractive molecule because it can be used in a OH large range of field. The aim of this report is amino acid aminophosphonic acid to summarize synthesis methods of Fig. 1: Similarity between amino acids aminomethylphosphonic acids and their and aminophosphonic acids applications. Most important characteristic of these This similarity gives to aminomethyl- compounds is their N-C-P molecular fragment that phosphonic acid biological applications in broadly defines them as analogues of amino acids, healthcare and agriculture. Moreover, it is a weak in which the carboxylic group is replaced by a organic acid with a pKa value of 0.5 and its toxicity phosphonic acid (Figure 1). is lower than glyphosate’s one, its main source1. 2 VILLEMIN et al., Orient. J. Chem., Vol. 31(Spl Edn.), 01-12 (2015) O O This report will be divided in two parts. First, H P N several synthetic routes to aminomethylphosphonic HO OH acids will be detailed. On the other hand, HO applications of aminomethyphosphonic acids in Fig. 2: Structure of glyphosate various fields will be presented. First OH group in phosphonate acids is Preparation of N-substituted amino- very acidic, with a pKa value of 0.5-1.5. However, methylphosphonic acid compounds second OH group has a significantly lower acidity With the aim to get as efficiently as possible with a pKa value of 5.0-6.5 (Figure 3a). α-aminophosphonic acids, two main synthetic routes were developed. The most common one is in two distinct steps, synthesizing first the ester (pK a 9.5-10.5) NH2 derivative, then hydrolyzed. Another method OH (pK a 5.0-6.0) R P consists in a direct synthesis of the acid.

They can H N(C2H5)2 reduce and stop corrosion and by this way, protect electroplating or chemical plating. Pesticides and Fig. 4: Synthesis via formaldehyde, herbicides are another field where disubstituted amine and phosphite ester aminomethylphosphonic acids are efficient. They are used as water decontaminator in order to remove Mechanism of this reaction is the one of some hazardous micropollutant molecules. Mannich reaction with first nucleophile attack of diethylamine on formaldehyde, followed by a Its two hydroxyl functions linked to balance of the intermediate with its acid form. This phosphorus atom can easily be connected to a metal hydroxymethylamine is in balance with associated and chelate it. This property allows to do gas iminium finally attacked by diethylphosphite to form absorption, notably CO2, to generate MOF and to final aminomethylphosphonic ester (Figure 5). extract selectively metal from a solid or a liquid phase, especially for lead.
