Highly Efficient Deacetylation by Use of the Neutral Organotin Catalyst [tBu2SnOH(Cl)]2
摘要:
Deprotection of acetyl esters is effected cleanly by the neutral organotin catalyst, [tBu(2)SnOH(Cl)](2). The mildness of the reaction gives rise to great synthetic versatility and in the process a variety of functional groups are tolerated. Differentiations between primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols and between acetyl ester and other esters are feasible. No racemization occurs with chiral acetyl esters. Exclusive deprotection of primary acetyl esters in carbohydrates and nucleosides is observed. The crude product thus obtained can be used for further reactions without purification.
is commercially available, is a practical and useful Lewis acidcatalyst for acylation of alcohols with acidanhydrides or the esterification of alcohols by carboxylic acids in the presence of p-nitrobenzoic anhydrides. The remarkably high catalytic activity of scandium triflate can be used for assisting the acylation by acidanhydrides of not only primary alcohols but also sterically-hindered secondary
