Indeed, silylation of carboxylic acids is a useful method for their protection because deprotection of silyl esters is easily achieved under mild reaction conditions [15][16][17][18]. Generally, silyl esters are made by

Alkylation, acylation and silylation using halogenated reagents offered mono-protection when reactions were carried out in THF and regio-selectivity was achieved when large protecting groups were employed (Table 1) (see Supporting Information File 1 for full experimental data). In most cases, the expected
