Simple and Selective Removal of the t‐Butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) Protecting Group on Indoles, Pyrroles, Indazoles, and Carbolines

A highly selective and efficient deprotection of the N‐t‐butoxy carbonyl (N‐Boc) group on indoles, pyrroles, indazoles, and carbolines has been achieved in high yields using a catalytic amount of NaOMe as a base in dry MeOH, at ambient temperature.
