Various protecting groups areavailable to mask the vulnerable functionality; phenolic hydroxy groups are noteworthy examples, but their stability differs when protected. Herein, the compatibility of protective phenolic functionality was investigated with the implementation of indium (III) triflate-catalyzed oxidative esterification using Oxone in methanol. A wide range of protective moieties was selected and subjected to Oxone-mediated oxidative esterification. For example, sulfonates were found to be sufficiently stable and inert whereas acetals were susceptible to reaction conditions. The details of this investigation are provided. %K Compatibility %K Protecting Groups %K Phenolic Functionality %K Oxone %K Oxidative Esterification %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=121144
