The need of protective groups arises from the poor chemoselectivity of many reagents The use of protective groups usually adds two (or more) steps to the reaction sequence This generates additional cost and additional waste This also decreases atom economy (=atoms used that are part of the final product versus atoms used in the reaction sequence) Therefore the need for new reagent arises that only target one specific functional group Synthesis of Nitroanilines The direct nitration of aniline leads to a 50:50 mixture of the meta- and para- isomer. Why? The amine function in aniline is protected by an acetyl group to form an anilide NH2 NHCOCH3 CH3COCl H2SO4/HNO3 NHCOCH3 NO2 NO2 1. H2 SO4/H2 O + NH2 NH2 NHCOCH3 + - 2. OH NO2 NO2 10% conc.

H3O+ PhMgBr O OH OSiMe3 Ph OMgBr Ph OH In both reactions, the same product is obtained in the end, but the first pathway requires two equivalents of the Grignard reagent, which becomes a problem if the precursor is available in limited quantities After the protection of the phenol function with the TMS-group only one equivalent of the Grignard reagent is required. Example 2: Reaction of a ketone in the presence of an aldehyde function Aldehydes are generally more reactive than ketones The higher reactivity is used in the formation of the acetal using 1,3-propanediol O O HOCH2CH2CH2OH H H O HCl O O O 1. CH3MgBr H 2. HCl/H 2O OH After the Grignard reaction, the protective group is removed during the acidic workup, which restores the aldehyde function If the two amino acids, glycine (Gly) and alanine (Ala), were reacted, four dipeptides (aside of polypeptides) would be possible: Gly-Gly, Gly-Ala, Ala-Gly and Ala-Ala In order to obtain one specific dipeptide i.e., Gly-Ala only, several protective groups have to be used during the dipeptide formation The amino group in glycine is protected using the Boc-group The carboxylic acid group of alanine is protected by a benzyl group (benzyl ester) The protected forms of the amino acids are then reacted to form one specific dipeptide DCC is used to activate the carboxylic acid The treatment of the initial product with Acid removes the BOC group (CO2, tert.-BuOH) Pd-C/H2 removes the benzyl group as toluene The resulting dipeptide is Gly-Ala only! The reduction of a,b-unsaturated ketones (chalcones) with simple metal hydrides (i.e., NaBH4) leads to formation of a mixture of allylic alcohols (a) via a 1,2-reduction and ketones (b) via a 1,4-reduction and an alcohol (c) via a combination of both reductions (a) (b) The use of LiNH2*BH3 in THF leads to the preferential formation of allylic alcohol in 78-93% yield which can be used as reactants in the Sharpless epoxidation
