Evaluation of 2-(piperidine-1-yl)-ethyl (PIP) as a protecting group for phenols: Stability to ortho-lithiation conditions and boiling concentrated hydrobromic acid, orthogonality with most common protecting group classes, and deprotection via Cope elimination or by mild Lewis acids

A new protecting group, 2-(piperidine-1-yl)-ethyl (PIP), was evaluated as a protecting group for phenols. The PIP group was stable to ortho-lithiation conditions and refluxing with concentrated hydrobromic acid. Deprotection was accomplished by two routes, oxidation to N-oxides followed by Cope elimination (CE) and subsequent hydrolysis or ozonolysis of the vinyl ether or one-step deprotection by BBr3?Me2S. The PIP group is orthogonal to the O-benzyl, O-acetyl, O-t-butyldiphenylsilyl, O-methyl, O-p-methoxybenzyl, O-allyl, O-tetrahydropyranyl and N-t-butoxy carbonyl groups. The CE step was systematically studied and was found to give higher yields when the reaction was performed in the presence of silylating agents.
