Abstract
Deprotection of N-trichloroethoxycarbonyl (Troc) groups with zinc in acetic anhydride cleaves also N-tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) groups, thus liberating the amino groups, which are immediately N-acetylated. When this reaction is performed in the presence of triethylamine only Troc groups are selectively cleaved as demonstrated for several examples.
