Abstract
The active hydrogen of the hydroxy group is often masked by ester formation. To avoid difficulties sometimes arise during regeneration of the alcohol, a number of functionalized carboxylic acids may be employed for esterification. The derived esters should permit mild and selective cleavage methods other than saponification to be used.Keywords
