Protecting group
Protecting groups
• A protecting group or protective group is a group that is introduced
into a molecule by chemical modification of a functional group to
obtain chemo selectivity in a subsequent chemical reaction
LiAlH4
• It can be used in a poly functional molecule to block the reactivity of
selective functional group under reaction condition
• Order of reactivity is as follows
Alcohol > amine > aldehyde > ketone > carboxylic acid
Properties
• Easy to introduce
• It should leave easily
• It should be cheaply available
• It should not react with other components in a reaction
• After introduction of protecting group asymmetric carbon
should not generate
• Every functional group has specific protecting groups
PG LiAlH4
Protection of carbonyl group
• Carbonyl group is present in aldehyde and ketone
• Carbonyl group is highly reactive because it acts as both
electrophile and nucleophile
• Aldehyde is more reactive than ketone
• Protecting groups for carbonyl are alcohol, diol, thiol, dithiol,
hemiacetal in the presence of acid
• Semicarbazides, cyanohydrins, imines, hydrazones can
protect carbonyl group but its de protection is difficult
• Decreasing order of reactivity of carbonyl compounds is as follows
Aliphatic aldehyde > aromatic aldehyde > acyclic ketones >
cyclohexanones > cyclopentanone > alpha beta unsaturated ketone > >
aromatic ketone
• Following compounds are generally formed while using
protecting groups
1. Acyclic acetal or ketal
2. Cyclic acetal or ketal
3. Dithio acetal or ketal
4. Hemithio acetal or ketal
2CH3OH
2CH3OH
Aldehyde Acetal Acetone Ketal
1. Acyclic acetal and ketal
• It is formed by using alcohol in the presence of acid
• This protecting group is good for aldehyde not for ketones specially
dimethyl ketone.

2. Cyclic acetal and ketal
• This is better due to entropic advantage because aliphatic acetal formation includes (1
carbonyl group and 2 alcoholic group) while it includes (1 carbonyl and 1 diol)
• It is acid catalyzed reaction of carbonyl and 1,3 diol or 1,2 diol
• Solvents can be dry HCl or TsOH, acetone

• Ketal will cleave more easily than acetal
Selective protection of carbonyls
• Aldehydes can be selectively protected in the presence of
ketone
• When both ketone or both aldehyde are present the
selectively less hindered ketone will be protected
H+

• Conjugated carbonyl will be protected slower than saturated
carbonyl
3. Dithio acetal and ketal
• Carbonyl group can be protected by sulphur derivative

Cleavage
• Acid catalyzed cleavage is not satisfactory
• Cleavage can be done in 2 ways
i. Using Hg+2 salt like HgCl2, HgClO4 in the presence of
BF3.Et2O complex as a solvent
BF3.Et2O, Hg(ClO4) + 2
I2 / NaHCO3, HCl
II. Cleavage through oxidation
Following oxidizing agents can be used
• I2 / NaHCO3, HCl
• H2O2, BF3.Et2O, HCl
• NaIO4, BF3.Et2O, HCl
• O2, BF3.Et2O, HCl
Note
This protection is not suitable if the reaction is occurring in basic
condition because thio acetal and ketal are sensitive toward
base

Oxidative cleavage
Reason of dominance of thio acetal and ketal
• Sulphur derivatives selectively protect aldehyde in the
presence of ketone
• It protects alpha beta unsaturated carbonyl group without
migration of double bond
• 1,3 dioxolane or 1,3 dioxane is readily converted into1,3
dithiolane or 1,3 dithiane

Protection of carboxyl group
• Protection of carboxyl group is done by converting it to ester
• Following esters could be formed
 Methyl and ethyl ester ( less used due to difficulty in
deprotection)
 Silyl ester
 t-butyl ester
 Benzyl ester
 Phenyl ester
