Abstract

Solutions of L-Selectride or SuperHydride in refluxing THF efficiently deprotect methyl phenyl ethers. L-Selectride is the more effective reagent, while electron-poor arenes work best. Unlike other hydride sources, these reagents permit ether cleavage without the reduction of aryl halides.
