“…Dealkylations with trimethylsilyl halides takes place under mild conditions, such that they can also be used for the hydrolysis of esters in which instances strong acidic or alkaline treatments cannot be applied, such as in the cases of nitriles, vinyl ethers and acetals [ 57 , 58 , 59 ]. In addition, various enzyme-catalyzed [ 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 ] hydrolyses have also been elaborated, and there are examples for the application of special catalysts and metal ions as well [ 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 ].…”
