Abstract

Convenient Formation of Diphenylmethyl Esters Using Diphenylmethyl Trichloroacetimidate. -Diphenylmethyl trichloroacetimidate is a useful reagent for the rapid protection of carboxylic acids. No racemization of highly enolizable -chiral acids occur. Mild deprotection can be achieved by hydrogenation in the presence of Pd-C. -(ADHIKARI, A. A.; SHAH, J. P.; HOWARD, K. T.; RUSSO, C.
