Significance
The methoxymethyl (MOM) is a common protecting group in organic synthesis. Its wider use, however, is hampered by the relatively harsh conditions needed for its cleavage, which makes its selective removal difficult. The ZnBr2-PrSH mixture allows highly selective deprotection of MOM ethers in the presence of other labile groups like TBDPS or acetate even with such acid-sensitive substrates like benzylic or tertiary alcohols.
