A method to reduce aldimines through hydrosilylation is reported. The catalytic system involves calcium triflimide (Ca(NTf)) and potassium hexafluorophosphate (KPF) which have been shown to act in a synergistic manner. The expected amines are obtained in fair to very high yields (40-99%) under mild conditions (room temperature in most cases). To illustrate the potential of this method, a bioactive molecule with antifungal properties was prepared on the gram scale and in high yield in environmentally friendly 2-methyltetrahydrofuran. Moreover, it is shown in this example that the imine can be prepared from the aldehyde and the amine without isolating the imine. The mechanism involved has been explored experimentally and through DFT calculations, and the results are in accordance with an electrophilic activation of the silane by the calcium catalyst.

Acipenser gueldenstaedtii is one of the most cultured sturgeon species worldwide and of considerable economic value for caviar production. There are though considerable challenges around chronic stress responses due to increased summer temperatures, impacting sturgeons' immune responses and their susceptibility to opportunistic infections. The identification of molecular and cellular pathways involved in stress responses may contribute to identifying novel biomarkers reflective of fish health status, crucial for successful sturgeon aquaculture.

A mild calcium catalysed Beckmann rearrangement has been realised, which forgoes the more traditional harsh reactions conditions associated with the transformation. The catalyst system is shown to be tolerant towards a wide variety of functional groups relevant to natural product synthesis and medicinal chemistry and the synthetic utility of the reaction has also been investigated. A preliminary mechanistic investigation was performed to understand the nature of the incoming nucleophile and a possible reaction pathway is described.
