Abstract

Solid-supported acids have been investigated for aromatic debenzylation reactions. Stoichiometric amounts of solid-supported acids in refluxing toluene with or without 4 equiv of methanol effectively provided the desired aromatic debenzylation products of various systems in moderate to excellent yields (up to 98%).
