Benzynes were selectively generated in situ from phenols and trapped regioselectively with potassium hexamethyldisilazide to form primary anilines following acidic workup. The direct conversion of a phenolic hydroxyl group into a free amino group is a useful method for the preparation of primary aryl amines that are hard to synthesize by using coupling reactions involving phenol derivatives with ammonia. Whereas reactions of ortho- and meta-substituted phenols produced meta-substituted anilines exclusively, those of para-substituted phenols provided ortho-silylanilines.
The studies on chemoselective promiscuous activity of hydrolases on acylals transformations

Chemoselective, mild and convenient protocol for the hydrolysis of the synthetically relevant acylals via promiscuous enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis has been developed. It has been shown that promiscuous activity of the used hydrolases dominates their native activity related with carboxylic esters hydrolysis. The main advantage of the present methodology is that it can be conducted under neutral conditions at room temperature. Moreover, complete deprotection of acylals takes place within 10–20 min. Developed protocol can be used with compounds having a variety of hydrolytic labile groups since the cleavage is proceeded under neutral conditions and occurs exclusively on acylal moiety. Further this protocol was extended by the tandem Passerini multicomponent reaction leading to the α-acetoxy amides using acylals as the surrogates of the carbonyl components to P-MCR.

The direct reduction of carboxylic acids to aldehydes with hydrosilane was achieved through visible light photoredox catalysis. The combination of both single electron transfer and hydrogen atom transfer steps offers a novel and convenient approach to selective reduction of carboxylic acids to aldehydes. The method also features mild conditions, high yields, broad substrate scope, and good functional group tolerance, such as alkyne, ester, ketone, amide and amine groups.
