Selective methods for the synthesis of (1-hydroxyethylidene)-1,1-bisphosphonate tri-, P,P′-di-, P,P-di- and mono esters have been developed. Preparation is started from selected symmetric or unsymmetric tetraesters of etidronate using alkalimetal salts or trimethylsilyl iodide as dealkylating agents. Synthesis of H3CC(OH)[P(O)(OH)2][P(O)(OH)(OHex)] starting from trimethyl ester of etidronate is also described. 1H, 13C and 31P NMR data are reported including 1 J CP, 2 J CP and 2 J PP couplings. The solid state structure is given for [1-(dimethoxyphosphinyl)-1-hydroxyethyl]-1-phosphonic acid monomethyl ester monopotassium salt (1a).
