In this Letter, a selective deprotection of the alcohol protecting 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl ((DMB)-D-3,4) group is described. The hypervalent iodine(III) reagent phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA) is found to be an efficient reagent for the chemoselective deprotection of (DMB)-D-3,4 ethers in the presence of benzyl, p-methoxybenzyl, methoxymethyl, tert-butyldimethylsilyl, and tert-butyldiphenylsilyl ethers under mild conditions. This is the first example of the selective deprotection of the (DMB)-D-3,4 group from a hydroxy group with PIFA. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
