A direct catalytic substitution of various allylic and benzylic alcohols with synthetically useful, but acid-sensitive Boc, Bus, and Dios protected amine nucleophiles, which have not been well utilized for Lewis acid catalysis, with various functionalities (OTBS, OTHP, etc.) was efficiently catalyzed by 1 mol% of Au(III) under mild conditions.

The selectiveremoval of N-Boc protection can be obtained in the presence of either TBDMS or TBDPS ethers. On the basis of promising results from the literature, we first tried sonication, that failed, whereas the exclusive cleavage of the Boc group was successfully achieved by a saturated solution of HCl in ethyl acetate.
