33. Determined from GC analysis using HP-5 column (Crosslinked 5% PH ME Polysiloxane).
34. We examined the selective TES cleavage over TBDMS with lower amount of thionyl chloride (0.01, 0.02, 0.025 mol%), and the results were still less desirable than those obtained with 1-chloroethyl chloroformate (83-89% yield vs 93-95%, respectively).
35. Per suggestion from one of the reviewers, commercially available 1.25 M HCl in methanol (Fluka) was examined in the desilylation. By employing varying amounts of HCl in methanol from 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, to 0.2 mol%, we obtained mono-desilylated alcohol (Table 1, 1 ) in 85, 89, 86, and 76% yields, respectively, along with diols. These yields were 8-21% lower than those obtained with CEC. When a very small amount (∼0.01 mol%) of methanolic HCl was employed, the yield of TES removal was less than 6%, and most starting material was recovered. We also carried out selective TBDMS removal over TIPS with 8a with varying amount of HCl, and yields were 73-83%, which are again lower than those obtained with CEC.
