ChemInform Abstract: Fluorous TBAF: A Convenient and Selective Reagent for Fluoride-Mediated Deprotections.
A fluorous analogue of TBAF has been developed for its use in the clean removal of silicon-derived protecting groups. Purification of the crude mixtures by fluorous solid-phase extractions allowed alcohols, amines, and carboxylic acids to be obtained in high purity, with no need of chromatographic separations. The moderate reactivity of fluorous TBAF was exploited in selective deprotections of several bifunctional molecules.
Fluorous (Trimethylsilyl)ethanol: A New Reagent for Carboxylic Acid Tagging and Protection in Peptide Synthesis
Starting with a fluorous analogue of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethanol, we have designed an easy method for preparing a new fluorous tag ((F)TMSE) for the protection of carboxylic acids. Because mild conditions are employed in the tag cleavage (TBAF in the presence of 4 A molecular sieves, which prevent racemization), this tag can be advantageously used in the synthesis of peptides and modified peptides, as we have demonstrated with several examples, including the fluorous synthesis of short alpha- and beta-peptides as well as of modified fluorinated retropeptides.
