Abstract

CrCl₂/LiI selectively cleave benzyl ethers and methoxy-substituted benzyl ethers (see scheme) in the order: C₆H₅CH₂OR < 4-MeOC₆H₄CH₂OR < 3,4-(MEO)₂C₆H₃CH₂OR < 2,6-(MeO)₂C₆H₃CH₂OR. In contrast, C₆H₅CH₂OR is more readily cleaved than 2,6-(MeO)₂C₆H₃CH₂OR during catalytic hydrogenolysis while 3,4-(MeO)₂C₆H₃CH₂OR is cleaved faster than 2,6-(MeO)₂C₆H₃CH₂OR with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ).
