Polymer-Supported Ferric Chloride as a Heterogeneous Catalyst for Chemoselective Deprotection of Acetonides

Abstract

Acetonides undergo chemoselective deprotection to afford the corresponding 1,2-diols in excellent yields using polymer (PVP)-supported ferric chloride as a heterogeneous catalyst in acetonitrile-dichloromethane at room temperature.

Key words

protecting groups - acetonides - polymers - catalysis - diols
