Grignard reagents trigger an addition–elimination with α′‐hydroxy acrylonitriles to selectively generate Z ‐alkenenitriles. The modular assembly of Z ‐alkenenitriles from a Grignard reagent, acrylonitrile, and an aldehyde is ideal forstereoselectively synthesizing alkenes, as illustrated in the synthesis of the putative lignan morinol I.
