โฆ Synopsis
Bis(tributyltin)oxide acts as a mild, neutral and chemoselective ester cleavage reagent for a variety of carboxylic esters with good to excellent yields. The acyl-oxygen cleavage mechanism of (-)-(1 R) menthyl acetate is discussed.

A method for the cleavage of t-butyl esters using silica gel in refluxing toluene is reported. Good yields of the corresponding carboxylic acids are obtained, and the reaction is selective for t-butyl esters over t-butyl ethers and trimethylsilylethyl (TMSE) esters.
