Abstract
Pd(0)-catalyzed deprotection of allyl ethers using barbituric acid derivatives in protic polar solvent such as MeOH and aqueous 1,4-dioxane proceeds at room temperature without affecting a wide variety of functional groups. Control of the reaction temperature allows selective and successive cleavage of allyl, methallyl, and prenyl ethers.
