Abstract :
Carboxylate-benzyl and nitro-benzyl groups used in phenols protection were selectively debenzylated with 3–25 equiv of Mg in methanol at room temperature. Good yields of the desired phenols were obtained within 3–10 h from a wide variety of O-(carboxylate-benzyl)- or O-(nitro-benzyl)-phenols. Selective O-debenzylation was possible in the presence of O-(carboxylate-benzyl)- or O-(nitro-benzyl)-phenols with Mg/MeOH.
