94. Interestingly, Torii (ref 30) reports a successful azomethine ylide cycloaddition involving the condensation of isobutyraldehyde with N-(trimethylsilylmethyl)benzylamine in THF, which presumably proceeds through iminium 51 in Scheme 12. In Torii's case, water or hydroxide are the likely desilylating agents, as opposed to chloride or bromide in our case.
