Over the past few decades studies on controlling the chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivities
of allylic substitution reactions have been well documented in the literature and
the SN2′ Grignard coupling reaction has emerged as a very powerful tool in selective carbon-carbon
bond formation. This review focuses on all the recent synthetic developments in this
special class of reactions.
