With either 1.0 or even 0.1 equivalents of DBU, smooth desilylation of various
terminal acetylenic TMS groups was accomplished selectively in the presence of
alkyl silyl ethers and other base-labile groups. Furthermore, more sterically
hindered terminal acetylenic silyl groups such as TBDMS and TIPS remained intact
under these conditions.

A procedure for protiodesilylation of 1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-alkynes involves
the use of catalytic amounts of AgNO3. The mechanism and
selectivity of this reaction are discussed.
