Abstract
Abstract(tert‐Butyl)(dimethyl)silyl (tBuMe2Si; TBS) phenyl/alkyl ethers were efficiently cleaved to the corresponding parent hydroxy compounds in good yields using catalytic amounts of Ce(SO4)2⋅4 H2O by microwave‐assisted or conventional heating in MeOH. Intramolecular and competitive experiments demonstrated the chemoselective deprotection of TBS ethers in the presence of triisopropylsilyl (iPr3Si; TIPS) and (tert‐butyl)(diphenyl)silyl (tBuPh2Si; TBDPS) ethers.
