Abstract

The benzyloxycarbonyl and the 2-chlorobenzyl groups of ethythromycin derivatives were easily removed by catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH). Their deprotection reaction was dependent on both the hydrogen donor and the solvent for use. Application of CTH to removal of the protective groups is discussed.
