Reconsidering N-Acyl Amino Protecting Groups: Deprotection Differences, Strategic Roles, and Experimental Selection of Ac, Bz, and Tfa

Ac (acetyl), Bz (benzoyl), and Tfa (trifluoroacetyl) all belong to the class of N-acyl amino protecting groups, in which an amino group is converted into an amide through acylation. Although they appear to belong to the same category, they do not play the same role in synthetic route design. The ...
