General description
Benzyl methyl ether can be prepared by the reaction of benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal and trimethylsilane in the presence of trimethylsilyl triflate. It reacts with N-bromosuccinimide to form α-bromobenzyl methyl ether, which undergoes degradation to form benzaldehyde.

The accurate timing and execution of organelle biogenesis is crucial for cell physiology. Centriole biogenesis is regulated by Polo-like kinase 4 (Plk4) and initiates in S-phase when a daughter centriole grows from the side of a pre-existing mother. Here, we
