[0002] Benzyl is a commonly used protecting group, which is used to protect phenolic hydroxyl groups by generating aryl benzyl ethers.
[0003] (Org. Lett. 2019, 21, 6185; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 15528; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 12684; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 7136).
[0004] The commonly used debenzylation methods for aryl benzyl ethers are reduction reactions such as H2 / Pd(OH)2 system (J.Am.Chem.Soc.2010,132,15528), H2 / Pd system (J.Am.Chem.Soc.2005,127,12684) and Et3SiH / Pd(OAc)2 system (Synthesis 1999,1999,1399). Since halogens (such as Br) can be reduced, reduction reactions are not suitable for the debenzylation of aryl benzyl ethers containing halogens. Moreover, when Pd metal is used for reduction, the cost is high and there is a problem of metal residue.
[0005] Therefore, a method for debenzylating aryl benzyl ether compounds which is simple to operate, has a fast removal rate and is more stable is needed in the art. Summary of the invention

[0009] S2. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min, quenched with sodium thiosulfate solution, and then the target compound was isolated.
[0010] Preferably, the organohydrogensilane is any one of triethylsilane, polymethylhydrogensiloxane, 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, triphenylsilane, diphenylsilane and dimethylchlorosilane.
[0011] Preferably, the solvent is any one of 1,2-dichloroethane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, toluene and 1,4-dioxane.
[0012] Preferably, the concentration of the sodium thiosulfate solution is 0.5 mol / L.
[0013] Preferably, the molar ratio of the iodine element to the aryl methyl ether compound is 1.0 equiv, and the molar ratio of the organohydrogensilane to the aryl methyl ether compound is 1.0 equiv.
[0014] Preferably, the separation is obtained by extracting, drying and separating the stirred mixture by column chromatography.
[0015] Preferably, the extraction is performed using ethyl acetate, the extracted organic phase is dried using anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent is then removed, and the target compound is separated by column chromatography.
[0016] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: the present application uses iodine and organohydrogensilane as reaction reagents to remove aryl benzyl ether compounds, the entire reaction process does not require the use of a metal catalyst, and the reaction can be carried out only at room temperature; compared with the prior art, the present application overcomes the problem that the prior art is not suitable for debenzylation of halogen-containing aryl benzyl ether compounds when using a metal catalyst; at the same time, the operation is simple, the removal rate is fast, and the yield of the target product is high.
