Protecting Group Selector

Protecting Group Selector MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Select optimal protecting groups for organic synthesis based on functional group compatibility and orthogonality.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized decision support for organic chemists. It allows AI agents to identify suitable protecting groups using find_compatible_group, verify chemical orthogonality with check_orthogonality, and retrieve specific installation or removal instructions via get_protection_protocol and get_deprotection_protocol. It ensures chemical transformations are planned with high precision regarding pH, temperature, and reagent compatibility.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

check_orthogonality

Evaluates if a selected protecting group will remain intact when other specified groups are being manipulated

find_compatible_group

Identifies which protecting groups are suitable for a specific target functional group given the intended reaction environment

get_deprotection_protocol

Provides the specific chemical instructions to remove the protecting group

get_protection_protocol

Provides the specific chemical instructions to install the chosen protecting group

Find a suitable protecting group for an alcohol in an acidic environment.

A suitable protecting group for an alcohol in acidic conditions is a Silyl ether like TBS (tert-butyldimethylsilyl), which offers good stability.

What are the reagents needed to remove a Boc protecting group?

To remove a Boc protecting group, you typically use Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in dichloromethane (DCM).

Check if a Benzyl group is orthogonal to a TMS group during deprotection with fluoride.

Yes, the Benzyl group is orthogonal to the TMS group when using fluoride-based deprotection conditions.

You can use the `find_compatible_group` tool by specifying the target functional group and setting the reaction environment to basic conditions.
