Researchers in the Buchwald group at MIT are designing new methods for the formation of carbon-nitrogen bonds, such as those in amines. Typically, the Boc (BOCK) and Fmoc (EFF-mock) groups are used to protect amine groups by decreasing their reactivity. Under what conditions can the Boc and Fmoc groups be removed? Assume that everything is conducted under aqueous conditions.

W) Both protecting groups are removed under acidic conditions
X) Boc is removed under acidic conditions, while Fmoc is removed under basic conditions
Y) Boc is removed under basic conditions, while Fmoc is removed under acidic conditions
Z) Both protecting groups are removed under basic conditions
