Abstract

A number of ester groups have been presented for the protection of carboxylic acids depending on deprotection requirements such as acidic or alkaline conditions.1.2 Along with the frequently used reductive cleavage of benzylic esters, deprotection methods under neutral conditions have been devised using the electroreduction of 2,2,2-trichloroethyl esters,3 photolyses of o-nitro aromatic esters,4 and treatment of silyl esters with water.5 Recently, an oxidative deprotection of p- ...
