1. A method for preparing a phosphonic acid monoester from a phosphonate with a structure:

  • ##STR12## wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, Substituted alkyl, substituted aryl, heteroaryl, alkylaryl, and aminoalkyl, and R2 is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, benzyl, and substituted benzyl,by treating said phosphonate with a dialkylazodicarboxylate, a triarylphosphine, wherein at least one of the aryl groups of said triarylphosphine bears an electron withdrawing substituent, and a primary or secondary alcohol with a structure R3 OH, wherein R3 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, substituted alkyl, substituted aryl, and aminoalkyl, and an exogenous base in an aprotic solvent, to yield a phosphonate diester with a structure;

    ##STR13## wherein R2 and R3 are not identical, and R2 can be selectively hydrolyzed without hydrolyzing R3, and then treating said phosphonate diester to hydrolyze selectively said phosphonate diester to yield said phosphonic acid monoester with a structure;

    ##STR14## wherein said phosphonate is present in excess, said excess being greater than a ratio of 1.1 equivalents of phosphonate to one equivalent of alcohol.
