The invention discloses diphosphonic acid and a salt compound thereof, a preparation method and application. The
structural formula of the bisphosphonic acid and the salt compound thereof is shown as a formula (I). According to the preparation method, methyl (3-oxopropyl) phosphinic acid is taken as an initial
raw material, a target product [1-hydroxy-3-(methylphosphonyl) propyl]-
methylphosphinic acid is prepared through condensation and
hydrolysis two-step reaction, and the target product reacts with an alkaline substance to obtain corresponding salt. The obtained target product has a bisphosphonic acid skeleton, and the bisphosphonic acid herbicide
lead compound with a novel structure is beneficial to improving the
weed removal effect; meanwhile, the target product is salified to obtain a salt compound, the salt compound is used for preparing herbicides for preventing and controlling green bristlegrass, amaranthus retroflexus, chenopodium album and other weeds, the obvious weeding effect is achieved, the water
solubility, hygroscopicity, stability and the like of the compound can be changed by preparing the salt compound into the salt, and therefore different preparation requirements are met.
