A metal-free protocol for the reaction of silyl enol ethers with allylic alcohols based on the use of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol as a promoter able to activate both reactants, is described. This simple and straightforward transformation proceeds smoothly under mild conditions, rendering the corresponding allylated products in generally good yields.Financial support from the University of Alicante (UAUSTI16-03, UAUSTI16-10, VIGROB-173) and the Spanish Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad (CTQ2015-66624-P) is acknowledged
