Abstract

The protection of hydroxyl groups as suitable ether derivatives and their subsequent cleavage consitute an important process in the synthesis of natural products and polyfunctional molecules. A variety of reagents are available for the cleavage of ethers but these are not always satisfactory for complex molecules containing sensitive functionalities and requiring selective deprotection.'Thus, there is continued interest in developing new ...
