Abstract

There is a constant search for new, easy to introduce and selectively removable protecting groups in organic synthesis. Over the years a number of protective groups have been developed for carboxylic acids' of which esterification offers several advantages because of its easy preparation and stability towards several reagents. However, selective cleavage of one type of ester in the presence of another ester(s) is by no means a trivial problem which is routinely ...
