The product of the reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid is an ester. The functional group present in this product is an ester functional group, which has the general structure R-COO-R', where R and R' are alkyl or aryl groups.

Consider the synthesis of a compound with both a carboxylic acid and an alcohol functional group. How would you use protecting groups in organic synthesis to selectively modify only one of these functional groups while leaving the other intact during the synthesis process? Specifically, explain the steps and reagents used to protect and deprotect the functional groups in order to achieve the desired modification.

Design a strategy to protect the alcohol functional group in a molecule containing both a primary amine and a carboxylic acid group, to prevent unwanted reactions during organic synthesis.
