- could be regarded as a protective group by shielding the internal alkenyl site. In 2016, the Rebek group achieved the site-selective reduction of an α,ω-diazide compound by trimethylphosphine (PMe3) in aqueous solution with a cavitand host as the protecting group for one of the azide sites (Figure 5

Here, as illustrated above, the authors introduced the cage host J as the noncovalent protecting group of the internal reactive sites, which directed

- cyclization is observed. Moreover, the use of the electron-withdrawing protecting group on the indole N atom could favor the formation of 4,5-fused indoles by decreasing the nucleophilicity at the indole C3 position. However, detailed studies of the effect of the electronic nature of the indole NH protecting

- because of the longer time needed. Next, we screened different protecting groups for the oxindole. Previously, Boc-protected oxindole 2a gave us the product in 75% yield, in dr 2.6:1 and in ee 90%/94% (Scheme 1, 3a). With a Cbz-protecting group the enantioselectivity decreased to 82%/88% (Scheme 1, 3b
- ). The use of a sterically more demanding Fmoc-protecting group decreased the ee values even more for the minor diastereoisomer (Scheme 1, 3c). Surprisingly, with benzyl-protected oxindole, the reaction did not proceed (Scheme 1, 3d), which implies that the carbonyl group of the carbamate moiety in the N

- groups in one step produced 16 in 86% yield. However, attempts to perform the ring-closure reaction of the Boc-protected amide 16 by an intramolecular Heck reaction failed and led to degradation of the starting material. Most likely, the electron-withdrawing tert-butyloxycarbonyl protecting group

The ESI mass spectrum provided evidence that cyclization occurred with formation of 18. However, protection with chloromethyl ethyl ether was achieved only in 18

This is most likely due to the strongly basic conditions (NaH) needed for the attachment of the ethoxymethyl protecting group, which might lead to deprotonation at the CH2 group (C7) followed by the formation of undesired side products.

Alcohol 7 was then subjected to Parikh–Doering oxidation to deliver a crude aldehyde in 98% yield, from which oxime 8 was subsequently formed
- try and improve the N1-PMB/N2-PMB ratio, converting 5 to a triethylammonium salt form in 94% yield was adopted [18]. Subsequent reaction with PMBCl gave 11 and 12, but in a largely unchanged ratio (N1-PMB/N2-PMB = 1:1.1). A comparative attempt to install a benzyl protecting group using this method

- -pavettamine rather than pavettamine. Chain extension and stereoselective ketone reduction were achieved using the (R)-methyl p-tolyl sulfoxide chiral auxiliary to give the desired 1,3-syn-diol C5 unit. A protecting-group strategy was also developed for the orthogonal protection of the alcohol and amine
- retaining the stereogenic center. Divergence from the original route to pavettamine occurred after recovery of diol 5; and a different protecting group strategy was applied to arrive at synthon 4. The primary alcohol of the diol 5 was regioselectively protected using the trityl group under basic conditions
- yielding 6 in quantitative yield. Our choice of the trityl protecting group was based on the fact that it could be selectively added in the presence of the secondary alcohol and selectively removed at a later stage in the presence of an orthogonally-protected secondary alcohol [16]. At this stage, the

The initially contemplated conversion of intermediates 3 into acetates 5 [26], followed by base-catalyzed O-deacetylation, led to substantial decomposition

Furthermore
