Oxidative Removal of <i>N</i>-(4-Methoxybenzyl) Group on 2,5-Piperazinediones with Cerium(IV) Diammonium Nitrate

Abstract

Abstract It was shown that N-(4-methoxybenzyl) group on 2,5-piperazinediones can be oxidatively removed with cerium(IV) diammonium nitrate under mild conditions, and the oxidative removal was performed in some model compounds which have several functional groups.
