In oligonucleotide synthesis, this functional group is protected using DMT.
Di-menthyl-phenyl-silyl groups are oxidized to this functional group in the Fleming-Tamao reaction. In oligonucleotide synthesis, this functional group is protected using DMT. This functional group is oxidized once by both DMP and PCC, and it undergoes an inversion of configuration when triphenylphosphine and DEAD are used to react with it in the Mitsunobu reaction. Deprotonating this functional group and adding to an alkyl halide results in an (*) ether via the Williamson synthesis. This functional group usually has a pKa around 16 to 19 and appears as a broad peak around 3300 inverse centimeters on IR spectroscopy. For 10 points, name this functional group with formula -OH.
