Abstract:

In the last years, the use of pyrocarbonates and particularly di-tert-butyldicarbonate (Boc2O) has found a renaissance in organic synthesis. Together with the classical couple Boc2O/DMAP, new synthetic strategies have been developed in the presence of environmentally benign Lewis Acids. So new syntheses of protected Boc-amines and alcohols have appeared in literature. Moreover, the use as activator in the synthesis of esters and anhydrides has received attention from different research groups. Finally an interesting and unexpected synthesis of t-butyl ethers has appeared. This review aims to cover all the literature since 1998, but not the application to the synthesis of natural products.

More about this publication?
  • Current Organic Synthesis publishes in-depth reviews on all areas of synthetic organic chemistry i.e. asymmetric synthesis, organometallic chemistry, novel synthetic approaches to complex organic molecules, carbohydrates, polymers, protein chemistry, DNA chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, molecular recognition and new synthetic methods in organic chemistry. The frontier reviews provide the current state of knowledge in these fields and are written by experts who are internationally known for their eminent research contributions. The journal is essential reading to all synthetic organic chemists. Current Organic Synthesis should prove to be of great interest to synthetic chemists in academia and industry who wish to keep abreast with recent developments in key fields of organic synthesis.
