Highly selective one-pot conversion of THP and MOM ethers to acetates by indium triiodide-catalysed deprotection and subsequent transesterification by ethyl acetate

Abstract

A simple and efficient method is developed for the chemoselective one-pot conversion of tetrahydropyranyl (THP) and methoxymethyl (MOM) ethers of primary alcohols to the corresponding acetates by indium triiodide-catalysed deprotection and subsequent acetylation by ethyl acetate through a transesterification process.
