Abstract

tert-Butyldimethylsilyl (TBS) phenyl / alkyl ethers were cleaved to the corresponding efficiently parent hydroxyl compounds in good yields using catalytic amounts of AlCl3 · 6H2O by conventional or microwave-assisted heating in methanol or isopropanol solution. Intramolecular and competitive experiments demonstrated the chemoselective deprotection of TBS ethers in the presence of triisopropylsilyl and tert-butyldiphenylsilyl ethers.

The authors thank the referee and Joseph M. Muchowski (visiting professor, UNAM) for valuable comments and suggestions, and M. N. Zavala-Segovia, L. Triana-Cruz (CCIQS UAEMéx–UNAM), and E. Díaz-Torres (UNAM) for technical support.

Notes

a Yields refer to chromatographically pure isolated compounds.

b In some cases no reaction occurred (NR) or product yields were very poor and ca. 80–98% of starting material was recovered.

a Confirmed by comparison with MS, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR with authentic samples.

c In some cases no reaction occurred (NR) or product yields were very poor and ca. 80–98% of starting material was recovered.

d 100 °C, 15min.

e 50 °C, 12h.

c 100 °C, 15min.

d 50 °C, 12h.

e Clearly the use of methanol is not possible in these cases.
