Abstract

A mild, efficient and inexpensive detritylation method is reported that uses trifluoroacetic acid on a silica gel column to obtain pure, detritylated compounds in one-step. This method is applicable to acid stable as well as acid sensitive compounds with only slight alterations in the procedure. Nineteen examples are given.
