摘要

An efficient and convenient method for the selective cleavage of terminal acetonides is described. Treatment of terminal acetonides in the presence of a wide range of functional groups with silica-supported boron trifluoride as a catalyst furnished the corresponding diols in 8295% yield under ultrasound irradiation conditions. The acid-labile p-methoxybenzyl group as a protecting group remained intact under the conditions employed to the present deprotection condition.
