Chemicals Used

ethylenediamine
ethanol
diisopropyl phosphonate
carbon tetrachloride

Procedure

A solution of the amine (45 mmol, 2.5 eq) in ethanol (9 mL) was added of recently distilled diisopropyl phosphonate (18 mmol, 1 eq) in carbon tetrachloride (4 mL) and ethanol (5 mL) dropwise. The temperature should not exceed 55–65°C during the addition. The mixture was stirred for 15 min until diisopropyl phosphonate wasn´t detected by TLC. The solution was evaporated under reduced pressure. Water (50 mL) was added to the residue, and the product was extracted twice with 20 mL portions of CH2Cl2; the organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and evaporated giving a pale yellow oil (2.02 g, 50%) product of high purity. Additional washes with water can be performed if necessary.

Author's Comments

A 2.5-fold excess of diamine must be used to neutralize HCl and still keep a basic pH necessary to catalyze the reaction. The addition of phosphonate to the amine should not exceed 10 min nor overtake the range 55–65°C; otherwise, bis-phosphorylation will occur preferentially. This particular reaction protocol can be applied to different aliphatic diamines ranging from the stated ethylenediamine up to 1,6-diaminohexane.
