The subject of the present invention is a reagent and a process useful for cleaving a functional group protected, during an organic synthesis, by an alkoxycarbonyl group, from the latter. This reagent is defined in that it comprises: a) an aqueous phase; b) a catalyst comprising at least one group VIII element in the Periodic Table of Elements, the said group VIII element in the Periodic Table being maintained in the aqueous phase by the formation of a complex with at least one water-soluble coordinating agent; c) a water-soluble nucleophilic compound. Application to organic synthesis.
