Abstract

A variety of 1, 3-oxathiolanes can be easily converted to the corresponding ketones in good yields with LTMP in THF. This deprotection methodology shows satisfactory chemoselectivity when other protecting groups, such as dimethylketal, 1, 3-dioxolane, 1, 3-dithiane, and other acid-sensitive groups, are present within the same substrates.
