Alkylcerium reagents add to the multiple bonds of allyl and propargyl alcohols in good yields and under mild conditions. The double bond can be reduced with lithium aluminum hydride in the presence of cerium trichloride. The regiochemistry of the attack depends on electronic factors.

Reactions of allylic carboxylates with Grignard reagents containing catalytic amounts (1-10 mol percent) of cuprous salts give high yields of cross-coupled products.With alkyl Grignard reagents, regiochemistry can be controlled by choice of cuprous salt.With cuprous halides, little regiospecificity is observed.There is a small excess of γ-coupling in unbiased systems such as 5-methyl-2-cyclohexenyl (1), 2-cyclohexenyl (3), and β-phenylallyl (5) carboxylates.With CuCN, complete regiospecificity (exclusive γ-coupling) is observed with all alkyl Grignard reagents in unbiased systems, and with n-butylmagnesium halide >97percent γ-coupling results with α-methyl-γ-phenylallyl pivalate (7-OPiv) which is biased in favour of coupling at the α-position.In sharp contrast to alkyl Grignard reagents, phenyl and vinyl Grignard reagents containing CuCN show no regiospecificity.
