hi all,

a short question: is it possible to deprotect a carboxylic ester (ethyl ester) in presence of a boronic ester (pinacol ester)? I would like to keep the boronic ester due to cloumn chromatography as a possible purification method but i have kind of no experiences with boronic esters and how fast they get hydrolyzed with NaOH/LiOH.

thx

I think boronic esters are more sensitive to base than carboxylic esters but i have no hands on experience.
