Mechanism and Extensibility of the Reaction

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.
