Tert-Butyldimethylsilyl Amine (TBDMS-NH2): A Mild and Green Reagent for the Protection of Benzyl Alcohols, Phenols, and Carboxylic Acids under Solvent-Free Conditions
Herein, we present the use of the tert-butyldimethylsilyl amine (TBDMS-NH2) as a silylating reagent for phenols, benzyl alcohols, and carboxylic acids. Unlike other silyl protection reactions, this reported process with TBDMS-NH2 does not involve the form

Solvent-modulated Pd/C-catalyzed deprotection of silyl ethers and chemoselective hydrogenation
Recently we have reported undesirable and frequent deprotection of the TBDMS protective group of a variety of hydroxyl functions occurred under neutral and mild hydrogenation conditions using 10% Pd/C in MeOH. The deprotection of silyl ethers is susceptible to significant solvent effect. TBDMS and TES protecting groups were selectively cleaved in the presence of acid-sensitive functional groups such as TIPS ether, TBDPS ether and dimethyl acetal under hydrogenation condition using 10% Pd/C in MeOH. In contrast, chemoselective hydrogenation of reducible functional groups such as acetylene, olefin and benzyl ether, proceeds in the presence of TBDMS or TES ethers in AcOEt or MeCN.
