2-BENZYLOXY-1-PROPENE: A NOVEL PROTECTIVE REAGENT OF HYDROXYL GROUPS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1984.265

Hydroxyl compounds are easily protected on treatment with 2-benzyloxy-1-propene, a novel hydroxyl protective reagent, in the presence of a catalytic amount of dichloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)palladium (II).The deprotection to regenerate the parent hydroxyl compounds is also readily carried out by catalytic hydrogenation under neutral conditions.
