METHOD FOR PRODUCING MIXTURES OF ALKYLPHOSPHONOUS ACID SALTS AND DIALKYLPHOSPHINIC ACID SALTS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing mixtures of alkylphosphonous acid and dialkylphosphinic acid salts, characterised in that a) a phosphinic acid source (I) is reacted with olefins (II) in the presence of a catalyst A to obtain a mixture of alkylphosphonous acid (III) and dialkylphosphinic acid (IV) or salts or esters thereof, and b) the thus obtained mixture of alkylphosphonous acid (III) and dialkylphosphinic acid (IV) or the salts or esters thereof is reacted with metal compounds of Mg, Ca, AI, Sb, Sn, Ge, Ti, Fe, Zr, Zn, Ce, Bi, Sr, Mn, Li, Na, K and/or a protonated nitrogen base to obtain the corresponding mixtures of alkylphosphonous acid salt (V) and dialkylphosphinic acid salt (VI) of said metals and/or a nitrogen compound, (V) (VI), wherein Y represents Mg, Ca, AI, Sb, Sn, Ge, Ti, Fe, Zr, Zn, Ce, Bi, Sr, Mn, Li, Na, K and/or a nitrogen compound and n represents ¼, ?, ½, 1.
