“…From a close analysis of the literature methods for ether dealkylation, [1,2,4] we did not find any general procedures for the cleavage of tert-butyl ethers.…”

“…[2] Its scarce employment in organic synthesis is probably due to the harsh conditions required for its formation and its cleavage. [1,2] We recently developed a new method to obtain tertbutyl ethers via an unusual reaction of alcohols with Boc 2 O in the presence of MgClO 4 . [3] The protocol was very efficiently applied to a large variety of alkyl and aryl substrates.…”
The tert-butoxy derivative is one of the most underused alcohol protecting groups. After having developed an easy and useful protocol for its introduction, we offer here a simple procedure for its removal by treatment with anhydrous CeCl 3 and NaI in CH 3 CN. The procedure led to the successful cleavage of aliphatic and aromatic tert-butyl ethers and was compatible with various other functionalities and protecting groups present in the molecule.

“…The removal of one of the methyl group of the DME ligand most likely arises from the reaction of Ar'SK with the coordinated DME on the Lewis acidic W center, similarly to the demethylation of methylethers by thiolate in the presence of Lewis acids [29].…”
-Attempt to synthesize a bis-thiolate tungsten alkylidene catalysts with bulky arenethiolates unexpectedly yielded upon activation of DME a pentacoordinated complex of general formula [W(NAr) (CHCMe 3 )(SAr')(j 2 -O-CH 2 -CH 2 -OMe)], which is active towards self-metathesis of cis-4-nonene compared to the parent bis-benzenethiolate.
“…Among several reagents used for demethylating methyl aryl ethers 13 the most common ones are BBr 3 , AlCl 3 , pyridinium hydrochloride and hydrogen bromide dissolved in acetic acid. Pyridinium hydrochloride seems to be really attractive due to its low cost and ready availability.…”
A new method for the preparation of 7H-indolo[1,2-a]quinolinium solvatochromic dye precursors has been investigated. 5-(6-Hydroxynaphthyl-2)-7,7-dimethyl-7H-indolo[1,2-a]quinolinium perchlorate, 5-(5-bromo-6-hydroxynaphthyl-2)-7,7-dimethyl-7H-indolo[1,2-a]quinolinium perchlorate and 5-(5-nitro-6-hydroxynaphthyl-2)-7,7-dimethyl-7H-indolo[1,2-a]quinolinium perchlorate were obtained via demethylation of the corresponding 5-(5-X-6-methoxynaphthyl-2)-7,7-dimethyl-7H-indolo[1,2-a]quinolinium salts. The application of pyridinium hydrochloride in the demethylation of the methoxy perchlorates allowed to obtain the products with the almost quantitative yield in a very short time, especially when the reaction was carried out using microwave irradiation.
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.
