2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (or DDQ) is the chemical reagent with formula C 6 Cl 2 (CN) 2 O 2. This oxidant is useful for the dehydrogenation of alcohols, [3] phenols, [4] and steroid ketones. [5] DDQ decomposes in water, but is stable in aqueous mineral acid. [6]
The use of protective groups is pervasive but not without criticism. [103] In practical terms their use adds two steps (protection-deprotection sequence) to a synthesis, either or both of which can dramatically lower chemical yield. Crucially, added complexity impedes the use of synthetic total synthesis in drug discovery.
p-Methoxybenzyl (PMB) is used as a protecting group for alcohols in organic synthesis (4-Methoxybenzylthiol is used to protect thiols). The p -methoxybenzyl group Strong base such as powdered potassium hydroxide or sodium hydride and p -methoxybenzyl halide (chloride or bromide) [ 14 ] [ 15 ]
[5] [6] Selective cleavage of the N-Boc group in the presence of other protecting groups is possible when using AlCl 3. Sequential treatment with trimethylsilyl iodide then methanol can also be used for Boc deprotection, [7] [8] especially where other deprotection methods are too harsh for the substrate. [9]

Deprotection of Boc-protected amines can be achieved using trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate and triethylamine or 2,6-lutidine. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] TMSOTf is also a useful reagent to replace metal-halogen bonds with a covalent M-O(SO2CF3) bond, the by-product being the highly volatile TMSCl which is easily removed.
This might involve using the triflate or the less reactive chloride of TBDPS along with a mild base such as 2,6-lutidine or pyridine and potentially a catalyst such as DMAP or imidazole. [ 3 ] The ease of installation of the protecting group follows the order: 1 o > 2 o > 3 o , allowing the least hindered hydroxyl group to be protected in the ...
It is also a good test for the successful deprotection of a secondary amine. Secondary amines react with chloranil to give a brown/red/orange derivative, the colour depending on the amine. In these reactions, the amine displaces chloride from the ring of the quinone.
