Abstract
A mild method for the deprotection of THP ethers catalyzed by iron(III) tosylate (2.0 mol %) in CH3OH has been developed. Iron(III) tosylate, Fe(OTs)3.6H2O, is a commercially available solid that is inexpensive, noncorrosive, and easy to handle. The room temperature reaction conditions make this method attractive for deprotection of a range of THP ethers.
