H. Sajiki et al., SUPPRESSION EFFECT OF THE PD C-CATALYZED HYDROGENOLYSIS OF A PHENOLICBENZYL PROTECTIVE GROUP BY THE ADDITION OF NITROGEN-CONTAINING BASES/, Tetrahedron letters, 39(39), 1998, pp. 7127-7130
A mild and chemoselective hydrogenation method using 5% Pd/C for olefi
n, N-Cbz, benzyl ester and nitro functionalities distinguishing from t
he benzyl protective group for the phenolic hydroxyl group has been de
veloped by the employment of 2,2'-dipyridyl as an additive. The suppre
ssive effect on the benzyl ether hydrogenolysis was strongly influence
d by the sorts of nitrogen-containing bases employed as an additive. (
