Base-labile tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group on phenols
Phenols are deprotected with weak bases from their tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) derivatives. Boc deprotection with bases can avoid side reactions during the deprotection with acids. We note the lability of the Boc to bases and are able to utilize it as a new cleavage condition for synthetic studies. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
