title: An efficient dehydroxymethylation reaction by a palladium catalyst.
abstract: A general method for selective dehydroxymethylation has been discovered by using widely available Pd(OAc)(2). The present study offers a new synthetic strategy for the regioselective functionalization by employing the steric, electronic and coordinating nature of the hydroxymethyl (-CH(2)OH) group temporarily.
