• Carboxyl groups can be protected as their trichloroethyl esters e.g. by tosic acid-catalyzed esterification: Synthesis, 24 (1979), or DCC-DMAP: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 111, 669 (1989). For esterification of amino acids, using the active ester with 2-Hydroxypyridine, A14522, see: Synthesis, 24 (1979). Cleavage occurs with Zn in AcOH or an aqueous THF buffer under mild conditions: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 88, 852 (1966); Synthesis, 457 (1976); or with NaBH4 in DMF, catalyzed by Se: Synthesis, 693 (1989). See also Appendix 6.
• Similarly, carbonyl compounds can be protected as their trichloroethyl acetals, stable to base, but readily cleaved under neutral aprotic conditions by Zn in ethyl acetate or THF: J. Org. Chem., 38, 554 (1973).
• Reaction with POCl3 to give the phosphorodichloridate, followed by reaction with 3-Hydroxypropionitrile, L12570, gives 2-cyanoethyl 2,2,2-trichloroethyl phosphorochloridate, a valuable reagent, usually used without purification, for the phosphorylation of nucleosides: Synthesis, 831 (1980).
