Abstract

Functional group protection is an indispensable artifice employed to prevent or to modify the reaction of a specific functional group during a synthetic sequence. Development of newer methods for protection/deprotection of functional groups constitutes a topic of constant interest. 1 In this context carboxylic acid protection is an important transformation and is frequently achieved via methyl ester formation2 because of ease of deprotection. 1, 3 ...
