The reaction of primary, secondary, allylic and benzylic trityl ethers with indium powder in MeOH/NH4Cl led to reductive cleavage of the trityl-oxygen bond, affording the corresponding alcohols in good to excellent yield under very mild reaction conditions. The detritylation process could successfully be extended to mono and detritylated diols. This methodology represents a new and efficient detritylation

benzylic trityl ethers 1 with lithium powder and a catalytic amount of naphthalene led to reductive cleavage of the trityl-oxygen bond, affording the corresponding alcohols 2 in good to excellent yields under very mild reaction conditions. The detritylation process could successfully be extended to several hydroxy, alkoxy and amino functionalised trityl ethers. This methodology represents a new and efficient
The reaction of primary, secondary, phenyl, allyl, and benzyl trityl ethers with lithium chloride in methanol at reflux led to deprotection of the trityl group affording the corresponding alcohol in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions.
