title: Structurally Simple Benzylidene-Type Photolabile Diol Protecting Groups.
abstract: Two structurally simple photolabile protecting groups for releasing 1,2- and 1,3-diols have been developed. The diols can be protected in high yields and released from their corresponding acetals with high chemical efficiency.
