The present invention relates to a process for preparing of phosphorus-containing dicarboxylic acids of the formula (I) ##STR1## where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are identical or different and are each a straight-chain or branched alkyl radical having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, a cycloaliphatic radical having 5 or 6 carbon atoms in the ring, an unsubstituted or substituted aryl radical having from 6 to 10 carbon atoms, or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 form, with inclusion of the phosphorus atom, a ring having from 5 to 8 members, and m and n are each, independently of one another 0 or 1, by reacting a compound of the formula (II) ##STR2## where R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and m are as defined above, with fumaric acid, maleic acid or itaconic acid in the presence of a saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid having a total of from 1 to 5 carbon atoms as solvent at from 100.degree. to 200.degree. C. under atmospheric pressure or superatmospheric pressure.

The invention relates to a process for preparing phosphorus-containing compounds of the formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are an alkyl radical having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, a cyclohexyl radical, a cyclopentyl radical, an aryl radical or a halogen-, alkyl- or alkoxy-substituted aryl radical, where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together with the phosphorus atom can also form a ring, n and m=0 or 1 and R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are alkyl radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or n=0, m=0 or 1 and R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are H, by adding compounds of the formula II ##STR2## into dialkyl esters of fumaric acid or of maleic acid of the formula (III) or dialkyl esters of itaconic acid of the formula (IV) ##STR3## in which R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 have the meaning given above, and, optionally reacting an alkyl ester of a phosphorus-containing dicarboxylic acid of the formula (I), where n=0, with water in the presence of catalytic amounts of an acid to give the phosphorus-containing dicarboxylic acid.
