An organic catalyst for synthesizing glyphosate, the catalyst is an alkoxy compound comprising the first main group alkali metal, and also comprises fresh anhydrous methanol, ethanol and potassium, sodium metal or potassium, sodium anhydrous hydroxide Or a combination of one or more of the alkoxy metal compounds prepared by oxides or prepared by alkali metal reaction, and in the form of alcoholic solutions of the alkoxy metal compounds. In the process of synthesizing glyphosate, paraformaldehyde or methanol solution of formaldehyde is depolymerized after adding organic catalyst, and after the reaction is completed, triethylamine and glycine are added to stir for addition reaction; after the reaction is completed, dimethyl phosphite is added to carry out Condensation reaction, hydrochloric acid is added for hydrolysis after the reaction is completed, and then glyphosate is obtained through crystallization, washing and drying. Using a specific catalyst to improve the reaction speed and reaction selectivity of glyphosate synthesis, the depolymerization reaction speed is fast, the reaction is thorough, the addition reaction selectivity is also high, and the glyphosate product yield is more than 5% higher, which has the advantages of reaction and energy saving. , cost advantage, environmental protection advantage.
