p-Siletanylbenzylidene acetal: oxidizable protecting group for diols.
[reactions: see text] Hydrogen peroxide oxidation of benzylidene acetals (and derivative benzyl ethers) that incorporate a siletane ring at the para position creates a deprotection pathway without affecting other important chemical properties of the benzylidene acetal, such as regioselective reductive ring opening.
