ABSTRACT
One-pot procedures were developed for the synthesis of lipophilic N-(dialkylphosphorylmethyl) derivatives of natural amino acids with high yields from dioctyloxide, formaldehyde, and an amino acid in the presence of amino acid hydrochloride. Membrane transport properties of the new phosphorylated amino acids towards polyfunctional carboxylic acids were studied. It was found that N,N-bis[(dioctylphosphoryl)methyl]-β-alanine is a selective extractant for glutaric acid.
