Abstract

Photochemically-removable protecting groups2 play an important part in a variety of technologies, including semiconductor lithography3 and time-resolved studies in disciplines ranging from cell biolod to X-ray crystal-10graphy.~ Nitrobenzyl derivatives6 are most commonly used despite their drawbacks: a chemical step that follows the photochemistry can be rate limiting, and the nitrosoaldehyde byproduct is oRen reactive with sensitive ...
