Abstract

The protection, deprotection and interconversion of protecting groups form an integral part of multistep organic synthesis. A direct method for interconversion of one protecting group to another is often a desired transformation as it increases synthetic efficiency by avoiding the intermediate steps. 1., , , and Amines are an important part of many bio-active natural products and they are useful intermediates both in protected as well as unprotected forms, in basic as well as in ...
