Abstract

Provides comprehensive information on the most useful protective groups for the hydroxyl, amino, carboxyl, carbonyl, and sulfhydryl groups. Discusses the chemistry of the classes of protective groups, as well as that of the individual protective groups within the class using structures, equations and references. Reactivity Charts for each class of protective group serve as an aid in their appropriate choice and provide estimates of their relative reactivities toward 108 prototype reagents.
