Allylsilanes can provide synthetic strategies which are not achieved with other allylic metal reagents such as the Grignard, lithium and transition metal reagents. In this review article, the characteristics in the reactions of allylsilanes, especially not only enhanced reactivities towards various electrophiles due to σ-π conjugation but also regio-, stereo-, and chemoselectivities, are surveyed. Moreover, a variety of allylsilanes that have been synthesized and utilized as versatile synthetic equivalents are summarized.
