(1) For an earlier application involving a metal-ion sensitive protecting group, see E, J. Corey and RL Dawson, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 84, 4899 (1902). conditions. 2 Hydrolysis of the enol ethers 2 occurs rapidly at pH 2 to form the free alcohols 3. The generality of the process was demonstrated for the allyl ethers of methanol, 1-decanol, and cholesterol, all of which could be converted readily to the corresponding alcohols 3 in> 90% yield. Benzyl ethers were found to be stable under the conditions which cleave allyl ethers. Tristriphenylphosphine rhodium chloride was considerably more active as a catalyst than RhCl3, 3 which in turn was more active than PdCl2, RuC13, or IrCl3. Prior to this work the cleavage of allyl ethers has been effected by the conventional methodusing strong acids, by oxidation with Se02 in acetic acid-dioxane, 4 or by treatment with strong base to generate an enol ether followed by acid hydrolysis or oxidation. 2· 5
