16. It has been reported that the phosphide anion acts as an electron donor to alkyl halides and causes a radical-mediated substitution reaction; see: Ashby, E. C.; Gurumurthy, R.; Ridlehuber, R. W. J. Org. Chem. 1993, 58, 5832 and references cited therein. Accordingly, we considered the possibility of a similar radical mechanism for the present reaction and performed mechanistic studies (vide infra)

35. Deprotection of tosylamides with silyllithium was reported by I. Fleming, et al., although they suggested that the reaction involved a nucleophilic attack to sulfur; see: Fleming, I.; Frackenpohl, J.; Ila, H. J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1 1998, 1229
36. Ishizaki and Hoshino reported that the reaction of tosylamides and Red-Al in hot toluene afforded the corresponding amines. Although the reaction mechanism was not described in the literature, the reaction might proceed via a nucleophilic substitution reaction at nitrogen; see: Ishizaki, M.; Hoshino, O. J. Org.
