Abstract

Praised for their oxidoreductive and acidobasic properties, phenols and their derivatives have found use in numerous and multifarious industrial applications, namely dyes, food antioxidants, pharmaceuticals, or polymers. However, synthetic chemistry of phenolic-based compounds usually requires to temporarily shut down their reactivity and to derivatize the hydroxyl moiety with a protecting group. Among the plethora of existing methods, 1a alkyl/silyl ...
