Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de production simple d'esters de N-phosphonométhylglycines ayant une action herbicide, de la formule (I) (HO)2P(O)-CH2-NH-CH2-CO-O-R où R représente alkyle. Ce procédé permet d'obtenir des substances de la formule (I), d'une grande pureté et avec des rendements élevés, en faisant réagir de la N-phosphonométhylglycine de la formule (II) (HO)2P(O)-CH2-NH-CH2-COOH avec des alcools de la formule générale (III) HO-R, en présence d'un acide, à une température comprise entre 40 °C et 150 °C (1ère étape) et en faisant réagir les produits d'addition d'acide des composés de la formule (I) ainsi obtenus -éventuellement après une isolation intermédiaire - avec un oxyranne (époxyde) comme liant acide à une température comprise entre 0 °C et 60 °C (2ème étape).
