  • Use of F-BODIPYs as a protection strategy for dipyrrins: optimization of BF2 removal. 

    Smithen, D. A., Baker, A. E., Offman, M., Crawford, S. M., Cameron, T. S., & Thompson, A. (2012). Use of F-BODIPYs as a protection strategy for dipyrrins: optimization of BF2 removal. The Journal of organic chemistry, 77(7), 3439-3453. DOI: 10.1021/jo3002003
    We recently reported the first general method for the deprotection of 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacenes (F-BODIPYs) involving a microwave-assisted procedure for the removal of the BF2 moiety, and liberation of ...

  • The Use of Tin (IV) Chloride to Selectively Cleave Benzyl Esters over Benzyl Ethers and Benzyl Amines 

    Baker, A. E., Marchal, E., Lund, K. L. A., & Thompson, A. (2014). The use of tin (IV) chloride to selectively cleave benzyl esters over benzyl ethers and benzyl amines. Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 92(12), 1175-1185. https://doi.org/10.1139/cjc-2014-0364
    Benzyl esters are cleaved upon reaction with SnCl4, resulting in isolation of the corresponding carboxylic acid. Importantly, benzyl ethers, amines and amides do not undergo debenzylation under these conditions, nor do a ...
