Substituted allyl protecting groups can be removed from alcohols using the CeCl 3 ×7 H 2 O/NaI system in refluxing nitromethane in the presence of a scavenger for the allyl iodide. In contrast to this, deprotection of the allyl group proceeds barely in acetonitrile.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
