38. The reaction of benzyne with benzaldehyde was reported to produce 2-(dimethylamino)benzhydrol (12% yield), whose dimethylamino moiety was derived from a benzyne precursor (1-(2-carboxyphenyl)-3,3-dimethyltriazene). However, this reaction was not developed as a useful synthetic procedure, because it required harsh conditions (160°C) and excess aldehyde (∼39 equiv). Nakayama, J.; Yoshida, M.; Shimamura, O. Chem. Lett. 1973, 451-454.
39. Similar products can be synthesized by the direct ortho-lithiation of anilides followed by reaction with an electrophile, although the highly basic reaction conditions would limit the use of substrates bearing relatively sensitive functional groups.

43. The TMS group in aminosilylated product 8 was demonstrated to derive not from 1 but from 2a. See ref 3i.
44. A large amount of N,N-diethylaniline was formed as a byproduct in this reaction, which demonstrates an advantage of the use of aminosilanes in the three-component coupling. The existence of only a catalytic amount of amines, generated from aminosilanes and benzoic acid, in the reaction mixture would decrease aniline derivatives. For N-arylation of amines by the use of arynes, see: (a) Liu, Z.; Larock, R. C. Org. Lett. 2003, 5, 4673-4675.

48. A reviewer pointed out that there may be an attractive hydrogen bonding between the amine H in 11 and an electrophile, which enhances the electrophilicity of 3 or 6.
49. Various alcohols are readily transformed into the respective silyl ethers via action with aminosilanes: (a) Shirini, F.; Mollarazi, E. Synth. Commun. 2006, 36, 1109-1115.

51. Because there was an excess of fluoride in the reaction mixture, three-component coupling products would exist as silicates, amides or alkoxides before a workup process. Therefore, we could only detect trace amounts of silyl ether 12 or silylamine 13 in crude products. For protodesilylation of silyl ethers with a fluoride ion, see: Greene, T. W.; Wuts, P. G. M.
