Abstract

The phenolic hydroxyl group can be found in a large number of natural products and biologically important substances. The protection of the phenol moiety is often mandatory during the synthesis of any phenol-containing product as a result of its high sensitivity toward other reagents. Methylation of phenolic hydroxyl groups is one of the most commonly used means for the protection of the functionality in organic synthesis. 1 The highly stable protected methyl ether form can be ...
