Abstract

Propargyl ethers and amines are effectively depropargylated to the parent alcohols or amines via a C-O/C-N bond cleavage catalyzed by 10% Pd/C in water. This simple, facile, and inexpensive methodology could be utilized for the selective removal of propargyl groups from a variety of aryl ethers and amines.
