title: Mild and neutral deprotections catalyzed by cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate.
abstract: The development of a novel, chemoselective, and catalytic deprotection methodology that proceeds under mild and neutral conditions is described, and its mechanism of action is analyzed in some detail. The scope, limitations, and advantages of this protocol are discussed. Selected applications in synthesis are also highlighted.
