Abstract
Abstract 2-[(2-Arylmethyloxy)ethyl]benzoates which were reported to be useful for the protection of alcohols, were deprotected in one step procedure under hydrogenation conditions using palladium(0) catalysts derived from Pd(OH)2 and PdCl2 under an H2 atmosphere. A similar type of the protecting group, 2-levulinoyloxyethylbenzoyl prepared newly was used for the synthesis of a phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate analogue bearing benzoate functions in the fatty acid moiety.
