    The document describes the synthesis of the herbicide glyphosate. Glyphosate is made through the reaction of chloromethyl phosphonic acid with glycine. An alternate route involves reacting diethyl phosphite with formaldehyde and either ethyl glycinate or glycine to form glyphosate. Glyphosate is a phosphonate herbicide sold under the trade name Roundup that is used on crops like coffee, tea, bananas, cotton, soybeans, fruit, rubber, coconut, and cocoa.
