The invention provides a process for the production of N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine, also known as glyphosate. The process comprises hydrogenating a mixture containing glyoxylic acid and aminomethylphosphonic acid, the mixture having been enzymatically prepared in situ by the reaction of glycolic acid and oxygen in an aqueous solution containing aminomethylphosphonic acid and the enzymes glycolate oxidase and catalase.

L'invenzione fornisce un processo per la produzione di N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine, anche conosciuta come glyphosate. Il processo contiene l'idrogenazione della miscela che contengono l'acido gliossilico ed acido aminomethylphosphonic, la miscela che sono preparati enzimaticamente in situ dalla reazione di acido glicolico ed ossigeno in una soluzione acquosa che contiene acido aminomethylphosphonic e l'ossidasi e la catalisi del glicolato degli enzimi.
