The addition of (trimethylsilyl)propargylmagnesium bromide ( 9 ) to aldehydes afforded predominantly the allenylic alcohols rac ‐ 10 . The regioselectivity of this addition changes dramatically when organocerium reagents were used for the addition. In this case nearly exclusive formation of the homopropargylic alcohols rac ‐ 8 was observed. Highest selectivity for this process was obtained when cerium(III) isopropoxide ( 13 ) was used as a precursor for the formation of the organocerium reagent.
