Abstract
A m-C2B10H11HgCl/AgOTf-catalyzed reaction of allyl silyl ethers with N-Boc-N′-tosylhydrazine has been developed. Under mild conditions, the resulting allyl hydrazine products were transformed into naked alkenes in good yield. Furthermore, the used m-C2B10H11HgCl could be recovered quantitatively.

Typical Procedure for the m-C2B10H11HgCl/AgOTf-Catalyzed Allylic Amination (Table 1, Entry 12) A solution of (E)-tert-butyldiphenyl(undec-6-en-5-yloxy)silane (15b, 1.08 g, 2.64 mmol) and tert-butyl 2-tosylhydrazine-1-carboxylate (12, 755 mg, 3.96 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (8.7 mL) was added to a dried two-neck flask under an atmosphere of argon. m-C2B10H11HgCl/AgOTf in 0.1 M CH2Cl2 (1.32 mL) was added dropwise to the solution at 0 °C, and the mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 10 min. The reaction was quenched with sat. NaCl aq, and the organic phase was separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 ×). The combined organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane/AcOEt = 20:1 to 4:1) to give 16 (902 mg, 2.06 mmol, 78%) along with m-C2B10H11HgCl (48.2 mg, 0.127 mmol, 96%).
