Novel reactive phosphonate compounds are disclosed corresponding to the structural formula set forth. The reactive moiety is preferably selected from the group of Cl, I, Br, HSO 4 , NO 3 , mixtures of Cl and I, CH 3 SO 3 and p-toluene sulfonic acid whereas the hydrocarbon linking group between the nitrogen and the reactive moiety is most preferably a linear hydrocarbon chain having fro 3 to 12 carbon atoms. The novel phosphonates herein can be used in multiple established applications, such as detergency, water treatment, oil recovery, pharmaceutical intermediate and pharmaceutical products. The novel compounds are particularly useful for the "tailor" synthesis of optimized structural arrangements capable of meeting beneficial performance requirements. |
