Abstract
The diphenyl-4-pyridylmethyl group provides acid-stable protection of the thiol group of cysteine and the imidazole-nitrogen of histidine; it is removed by reductive methods (including electrolytic reduction) and from thiols by mercury(II) acetate and by iodine.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
