DMAP-promoted racemization-free deacylation of carboxthioimide† adducts: carboxthioimide as a versatile carboxy protecting group

Abstract

The DMAP-promoted deacylation of carboxthioimide adducts can be directed to form either acid or various ester protecting groups with no detectable levels of epimerization.
