Chemical properties of 4,5‐di(ethoxycarbonyl)‐1,3‐dioxolan‐2‐yl (DECDO) as a hydroxyl protecting group of the 2′‐hydroxyl function in ribonucleosides

We describe basic chemical properties of 4,5‐di(ethoxycarbonyl)‐1,3‐dioxolan‐2‐yl (DECDO) in view of its use as a protecting group for the 2′‐hydroxyl function of ribonucleosides.

Post‐synthetic treatment with ammonia results in the conversion of this protecting group into the 4,5‐dicarbamoyl‐1,3‐dioxolan‐2‐yl (DCBDO) group which is unexpectedly more stable in aqueous acidic solution.
