Abstract
Sulphydryl protecting groups (p-methoxybenzyl and t-butyl), for cysteine are cleanly removed by the action of mercury(II) trifluoroacetate in aqueous acetic acid or mercury(II) acetate in trifluoracetic acid; treatment of the sulphides formed with thiols regenerates the cysteine derivatives.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
