Abstract
A combination system of acetyl bromide with a catalytic amount of tin(II) bromide cleaves benzyl protected alcohols efficiently to afford the corresponding acetates in high yields. Chemoselective conversion of p-methoxybenzyl ethers into phenoxyacetates was also proved to be successful.Keywords
