Convenient Deprotection of protected-Carboxylic group, “Phenol Process”

The carboxyl group of GCLE is protected by p-methoxybenzyl group. Otsuka Chemical developed “Phenol Process” as a deprotection method prior to use GCLE. The deprotection can be done only by heating the protective chemical compound at 45~50°C and for 1~2 hour in the phenol. And the reaction smoothly progresses with the addition of the acid of the catalyst quantity by necessarily responding. The isolation is conveniently possible by extracting in NaHCO3 aqueous solution, for the chemical compound with the deprotection. This method can be also applied to benzhydryl ester or t-butyl ester, and the selective deprotection is also possible by condition of reaction.
