(Equation Presented) A simple procedure for the cleavage of triethylsilyl (TES) ethers in the presence of 10 wt % Pd/C in methanol or 95% ethanol is reported. This method allows selective removal of alkyl TES ethers in the presence of aromatic TES ethers or tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS) protecting groups.
