title: 2-Arylallyl as a new protecting group for amines, amides and alcohols.
abstract: Amines, amides and ethers containing 2-arylallyl groups are selectively and easily deprotected with tert-butyllithium. This transformation probably involves a carbolithiation reaction of the styrenyl moiety followed by a beta-elimination process.
