A regioselective carbosilylation of alkenes is a powerful strategy to access functionalized silylated alkanes. In this study, the authors report a catalyst-free carbosilylation of alkenes using silyl boronates and organic fluorides, mediated by tBuOK, and synthesise various silylated alkanes with tertiary or quaternary carbon centres.
