Abstract
The stereochemistry of the addition of allylic Grignard reagents, (mai nly crotylmagnesium chloride) to various conjugated enones has been in vestigated and a compact transition state is postulated. For s-cis-eno nes bearing no bulky substituents, a boat transition state, involving a trans-crotylmagnesium chloride, occurs leading to erythro-1,5-hexadi en-3-ols as the major or only product.
