Abstract
Numerous methods are available for protecting an alcohol moiety. 1 Conversion into the corresponding ethers has been recognized as a common and useful method for the protection of hydroxyl groups. Most commonly used are the tetrahydropyranyl (THP), 1-ethoxyethyl (EE), t-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS), benzyl (Bn) derivatives, etc. The experimental conditions used for benzylation being rather drastic (BnBr, DMSO, KOH), the need for a milder method is very important.
