EN Application of 2-pyridinyl thermolabile protecting groups (2-PyTPGs) for protection of hydroxyl, phosphate, and carboxyl functions is presented in this unit. Their characteristic feature is a unique removal process following the intramolecular cyclization mechanism and induced only by temperature rise. Deprotection rate of 2-PyTPGs is dependent on certain parameters, such as solvent (aqueous or non-aqueous medium), pH values, and electron distribution in a pyridine ring. The presented approach pertains not only to protecting groups but also to an advanced system of controlling certain properties of 2-pyridinyl derivatives. We improved the “chemical switch” method, allowing us to regulate the protecting group stability by inversing the electron distribution in 2-PyTPG. Together with pH values manipulation, this allows us to regulate the protecting group stability. Moreover, phosphite cyclization to oxazaphospholidine provides a very stable but easily reversible tool for phosphate protection/modifications. For all TPGs we confirmed their utility in a system of protecting groups. This concept can contribute to designing the general protecting group that could be useful in bioorganic chemistry.
