While the frequent and unexpected loss of the TBDMS protective group of a v
ariety of hydroxylic functions was demonstrated under neutral and mild hydr
ogenation conditions using 10% Pd/C, the undesirable problem was perfectly
overcome by using a 10% Pd/C-ethylenediamine complex catalyst. (C) 2000 Els
