Abstract

Abstract Tetrahydropyranyl (THP), methoxymethyl (MOM), and benzyloxymethyl (BOM) phenyl/alkyl ethers were efficiently cleaved to the corresponding parent hydroxyl compounds in good yields using catalytic amounts of Ce (SO 4) 2· 4H 2 O by microwave- assisted or conventional heating in methanol solution. Intramolecular and competitive experiments demonstrated the chemoselective deprotection of THP ethers in the presence ...
