<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello everybody,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to protect Cresol with a MOM protecting
group without using MOMCl. I tried with dimethoxymethane but the result is
bad.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is anybody have conditions to do this
protection?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Or it is possible to protect the Cresol with an
other protecting group? I need a protecting group who's resist to
organometallic's rx.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
