A process for preparing phosphonomethylated amino acids comprising phosphonomethylating a N-carboxymethyl-S-methylene bisdithiocarbamate with formaldehyde and a phosphorus source to obtain a phosphonomethylated bisdithiocarbamate which is then hydrolyzed to the phosphonomethylated amino acid salt. Acidification yields the corresponding phosphonomethylated amino acid, e.g. glyphosate, or acid derivative.
