The present invention relates to phosphonate compounds, compositions containing them, processes for obtaining them, and their use for treating a variety of medical disorders, e.g., osteoporosis and other disorders of bone metabolism, cancer, viral infections, and the like.
Described is a new process for producing 4-amino-1-hydroxybutylidene-1,1-bisphosphonic acid (ABP), a new antihypercalcemic agent. The process involves a 3-step sequence starting with 4-phthalimidobutanoyl chloride which can be practiced as a "one-pot" reaction sequence, without employing PCl.sub.3 or H.sub.3 PO.sub.3.
