Hello,

How I can do this reaction in the attach file.I don't want use any Lewis acid catalyst.

Also I don't have any other substitute allyl silane.

Thanks

Try tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride. The F^- attacks the Si and initiates the nucleophillic attack.

Thanks !! I had the same idea, I tried did not work. Probably I need to heat up in sealed vial. Those imino-Ene reaction probably need much higher temperature.

As far as I remember the Bu₄N⁺F^- is hydroscopic and you may need to azeotropically dry it first.

Disco: what do you think about using a salt like KFHF instead? because it may be easier to dry (MP 239C) and it is more nucleophilic than F-

You could try that. I was going to suggest HF in acetonitrile but thought that may be too acidic for your system.

I think TBAT is a good anhydrous alternative to TBAF:
