Abstract
[reaction: see text] A new mild method for protecting alcohols as t-butyl ethers is reported. The reaction proceeds with Mg(ClO4)2 and Boc2O and shows general applicability. The deprotection of t-butyl ethers has also been revisited. Preliminary results indicate the CeCl3 x 7H2O/NaI system is a very suitable catalyst for their removal.
