Abstract

A highly selective and efficient protocol has been developed for detritylation using 5 mol% BiCl₃ in acetonitrile. The cleavage proceeds at room temperature in high yields and the conditions are mild enough to tolerate a variety of acid-base sensitive functional groups.

Key words

trityl ethers - catalytic - selective - bismuth(III) chloride - alcohols

General Procedure. Trityl ether (2 mmol) in dry MeCN (2 mL), was treated with a catalytic amount of BiCl₃ (5 mol%) and stirred at r.t. After complete conversion of the reaction as indicated by TLC, the reaction mixture was filtered through a small pad of Celite. The filtrate was extracted with EtOAc, washed with brine and dried over anhyd Na₂SO₄. After evaporation, the residue was purified by column chromatography using silica gel (60-120 mesh; hexane-EtOAc) to furnish pure alcohol.
