The regio- and the stereochemistries of the NidppeCl2 catalyzed alkylation of 2-alkyl-1,3-dioxep-4-enes by Grignard reagents are not affected by the nature of the C2 substituent; in any case, allylic alcohols are the main reaction products and nearly pure Z isomers are almost quantitatively obtained when either secondary or tertiary Grignard reagents are used.A rationale for the reaction is proposed.
