Me - (methyl) ester
Standard Protection Procedure
The compound is dissolved in dry MeOH and thionyl chloride (2 eq) is added drop wise at 0¡ã under an inert atmosphere. The result is then refluxed until complete by TLC (usually >4 hours) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue can then be purified by flash chromatography (SiO2) if necessary.
Removal
The ester is dissolved in methanol and 1N NaOH is added (excess). The solution is then heated to reflux and stirred until complete by TLC (usually <1 h). Glacial acetic acid is added until the mixture is neutral and then diluted with chloroform. The organic solution is extracted once with water, once with brine, dried (magnesium sulfate), and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by flash chromatography (SiO2) if necessary.

The aqueous layer is extracted 2 times with EtOAc and the organic layer is back extracted twice with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The combined aqueous layers are acidified to a pH of 1 with 10% HCl, then extracted 3 times with EtOAc. The combined organic layers are dried (sodium sulfate) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is then purified by flash chromatography (SiO2) if necessary.
