Alcohols can be easily and chemoselectively deprotected from the corresponding aromatic esters by using either SmI2/HMPA or by electrolysis In the presence of a proton source.

The mechanism of the monoelectronic reduction of aromatic esters has been investigated. The unexpected synthetic utility of the toluate moiety in the deoxygenation of alcohols and the allylation of ketones is also reported. Finally, the use of aromatic esters as robust, though easily removable, protecting groups is depicted.
