Hydroxyl groups are widely present in many bioactive or- ganic molecules, sugars, nucleosides etc., hence protection and later deprotection is necessary for multistep transformation, es- pecially in the total synthesis of complex organic molecules. A variety of protective groups have been developed to mask the re- activity of hydroxyl group,1 however tert-butyldimethylsilyl protection is very common, because of its easy incorporation and stability to withstand different ...
