Photoenolization [45], one of the well-documented [46] photochemical rearrangements of o-alkylphenacyl groups (Scheme 17.15) can be used for the deprotection of alcohols [47], carboxylic acids [48] and phosphates [49]. Klan chose the 2,5-dimethylphenacyl (DMP) chromophore [30] as a photoremovable protecting group, and its photolysis with >280 nm UV radiation results in an almost quantitative yield of deprotection.
