In ● Acylation Reagents many cases, reaction conditions will effect multiple functionalities, Acyl protecting groups are usually used for the protection of which necessitate the blocking of several functional groups to hydroxy groups and amino groups. Acetyl (Ac), benzoyl (Bz), and afford the correct synthetic transformation. However, protecting pivaloyl (Piv) groups are commonly chosen. Pivaloyl groups is group attachment and removal requires their own conditions as often selected when non-sterically hindered hydroxyl groups well as individual chemical properties, and appropriate selection need to be selectively protected due to the Piv groups large size. of the correct protecting agents is vitally important for synthetic Generally, acyl protecting groups are stable under acidic and strategy. The most useful protecting agents generally need oxidative conditions. Acyl protecting groups are usually several key properties: deprotected under basic or reductive conditions (DIBAL, LAH, - The protecting agents must selectively react with the desired etc.). functional group requiring protection. - The protecting groups must be introduced in high yields O O O without any side reactions. CH3 CH3 - The protected functional groups should be stable under CH3 CH3 various reaction conditions. Ac group Bz group Piv group - The protecting groups must be chemoselectively deprotected O under specific conditions without deprotection of other types X R2 O of protecting groups. R1 OH 1 2 Particularly in total synthesis and for structurally complicated OH or DIBAL R O R compounds, designing the synthetic strategies frequently requires careful selection of protecting groups. Over time, a large array of protection groups have become available due in part to ● Acetalization Reagents, the highly specialized requirements needed in complex synthesis. Thioacetalization Reagents Many of these reagents and protection groups include specialized Acetals and thioacetals are most often used in the protection of conditions for attachment and removal that have high specificity carbonyl groups, particularly that of aldehydes and ketones. The for a given functional and protection group. This brochure acetals and ketals are usually are introduced under acidic introduces a variety of protecting agents, which are sorted based conditions and take advantage of the equilibrium these exist on the methods used for their deprotection. under to install them. Acetals are stable under basic conditions and reductive conditions, and are additionally inert towards nucleophiles and organometallic reagents. Deprotection is ● Silylation Reagents usually carried out via hydrolysis under aqueous acidic conditions. Silyl groups are one of the most commonly used protecting Thioacetals have a wider synthetic resistance and are usually groups to block hydroxy functionalities, as well as for the stable under both acidic and basic aqueous conditions. The protection of carboxyl groups and amino groups. Trimethylsilyl deprotection of thioacetals usually requires the addition of (TMS) and triethylsilyl (TES) are commonly used as general or mercury salts or hypervalent iodine compounds. short-term protecting groups, while triisopropylsilyl (TIPS), tert- butyldimethylsilyl (TBS or TBDMS) and tert-butyldiphenylsilyl R1O OR1 R1S SR1 (TBDPS) groups are used for introducing bulky substituents that R2 R2 R2 R2 are more robust.

Protecting Agents ● Alkoxymethylation Reagents ● 9-Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonylation Alkoxymethyl groups such as methoxymethyl (MOM) group are (Fmoc) Reagents generally used for the protection of hydroxy groups. They are 9-Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group is one of the most stable under basic and reducing conditions due to formally being commonly used protecting groups for amino groups in solid acetal functionality. Alkoxymethyl groups are usually deprotected phase peptide synthesis. It is readily deprotected by secondary by acid catalyzed hydrolysis. amines such as piperidine and is stable under acidic conditions. Of note, when a molecule contains both a Fmoc and Boc group, only the Boc group will be selectively removed under acidic conditions.

They can selectively protect less sterically-hindered substrates due to their large size. They are relatively stable against bases, oxidizing agents, reducing agents and nucleophiles, and the deprotection is carried out under acidic ● Allyloxycarbonylation (Alloc) Reagents, hydrolysis conditions. Benzyloxycarbonylation (Cbz) Reagents, Benzylation (Bn) Reagents, and Allylation OCH3 (All) Reagents Allyloxycarbonyl (Alloc), benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz), benzyl (Bn) and allyl (All) groups are commonly used for the protection of amino groups.
