A facile synthesis of ω-aminoalkyl ammonium hydrogen phosphates

A series of og-aminoalkyl ammonium hydrogen phosphates were synthesized through a simple and efficient three-step method. The starting materials, co-aminoalkyl alcohols （AC-n, with carbon number n = 3, 4, 5, 6）, were amino-protected with 9- fluorenylmethyl chloroformate （Fmoc-C1）, followed by phosphorylation with POCI3 and deprotection in piperidine/DME The structures of each intermediate and final product were confirmed by 1H NMR, FTIR and mass spectrum. The yield of each step was about 77-92%, with a total yield higher than 56%. This new method was superior in low-cost raw materials, mild reaction temperatures （0-25 ℃） and easy purification methods.
