REFERENCES

  • Carboxyl groups can be protected as their 2,4,6-trimethylbenzyl esters by reaction in DMF in the presence of triethylamine. The group can be cleaved by acidolysis (TFA or HBr in AcOH) or hydrogenolysis: Aust. J. Chem., 21, 2831 (1968).
  • Also reported for the protection of thiols (cysteine), stable to refluxing TFA, unlike 4-methoxybenzyl, but cleavable with HF or TfOH-TFA: Coll. Czech. Chem. Commun., 46, 286 (1981), or Ag(I): Chem. Pharm. Bull., 38, 1551 (1990).
