An Efficient Deprotection of 2,6-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic Esters via Catalytic Protodeboronation Using Tetrabutyl-ammonium Fluoride

摘要

We herein describe an efficient deprotection of 2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic esters, which serve as effective protective groups for 1,2- or 1,3-diols in various organic transformations, via protodeboronation by using a catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF).
