“…Thus, N-Boc deprotection has been carried out successfully using mild acidic conditions [7] such as trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), HCl, H 2 SO 4 , aqueous phosphoric acid [8], or Lewis acids such as BF 3 ⋅OEt 2 , TMSI, TMSOTf, TiCl 4 , SnCl 4 , AlCl 3 , Sn(OTf) 2 , and ZnBr 2 [9]. The use of montmorillonite K10 clay catalyst [10] and silica gel [11] or thermolytic conditions at high temperature [12,13] have also shown to work. Cleavage of the Boc group can be achieved in some cases under basic conditions, where the amine is activated, such as pyrroles [14][15][16].…”
