Abstract
Two reported methods for protecting the catechol moiety of l-DOPA as an acetonide have been compared. NMR spectral data and crystal structure analysis confirmed that in contrast to that indicated in Greene’s Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry the conditions reported for the direct conversion of l-DOPA into its acetonide give instead, a Pictet‑Spengler derived tetrahydroisoquinoline.
