Abstract
Treatment of trialkylsilyl ethers with cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate and sodium iodide in acetonitrile provides a simple, convenient, and chemoselective process for desilylation, and the parent alcohol was obtained in high yield. The trialkylsilyl ethers have been cleaved selectively in the presence of acetate, benzyl and tetrahydropyranyl ethers.Keywords
