✦ Synopsis
The 9-phenylthioxanthyl (S-pixyl or S-Px) group has been investigated as a photocleavable protecting group for primary alcohols, and specifically as a 5' hydroxy protecting group for deoxyribonucleosides. Several alcohols, including the four nucleosides with protected exocyclic amino functions, were protected in very good to excellent yield by treatment of 9-chloro-9-phenylthioxanthene 3 in dry pyridine to reveal the derivatized compounds. Irradiation of the protected substrates in neutral, aqueous solution regenerated the starting alcohols in excellent yield.

5-Chloro-8-quinolyl group is found to be very suitable for the protecting group on phosphates in the internucleotidic bonds.
The 1-~(2-chloro-4-methyl)phenyl]-4-methoxypiperidin-4-yl [Ctmp, as in (14a)] has an acid lability similar to that of the 4-methoxytetrahydropyran-4-yl (Mthp) protect= group under mild hydrolytic conditions [pH 2-31; however, under the relatively more drastic conditions required for the complete rem
