Enzymatic removal of carboxyl protecting groups. 2. Cleavage of the benzyl and methyl moieties

Enzymes are versatile reagents for the efficient removal of methyl and benzyl protecting groups. An esterase from Bacillus subtilis (BS2) and a lipase from Candida antarctica (CAL-A) allow a mild and selective removal of these moieties in high yields without affecting other functional groups. © 2005...
