Mild deprotection of PMB ethers using tert-butyl bromide [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
A convenient and high yielding method for the cleavage and scavenging of p-methoxybenzyl protecting group of several alcohols using tert-butyl bromide in refluxing acetonitrile is described. Under these mild conditions other protecting groups such as acid sensitive allyl, benzyl, and Me3CPh2Si ethers, or isopropylidene acetals were unchanged. Interestingly, a selective alkoxy-PMB cleavage was observed in the presence of a PMB phenoxy ether.
