Abstract

A tetrabutylammonium peroxydisulfate-mediated oxidative procedure for the mild selective deprotection of allyl ethers to form the corresponding alcohols is described. The alcohols are obtained in yields of 81-85% and the method is compatible with several functional groups under these reaction conditions.
