Abstract

Background. The cleavage of arenesulfonates and sulfonamides by electrochemical reduction was originally observed in 1965,'and although it has been the subject of several studies: it has not found widespread application in synthesis as a deprotection method. The existing literature can be organized into the following two categories: the selective cleavage of different areneaulfonyl derivatives from the same type of functional group and the ...
