| Abstract
| - A mild and new procedure for the selective cleavage of an alkoxycarbonyl group (Boc, CBz) in N,N-dicarbamoyl-protected amino compounds is described. The method is based on the use of lithiumbromide in acetonitrile and is compatible with a large range of other functionalities present in thesubstrates. Compared with other reported methodologies, the procedure is particularly useful forthe Cbz-selective cleavage in N,N-Ts,Cbz-diprotected amines. A rationalization of the selectivitysupported by ab initio calculations is also presented.
