SYNTHESIS OF HOMOALLYL ALCOHOLS BY THE REACTION OF ?-ALLYLDICYCLOPENTADIENYLTITANIUM(III) WITH CARBONYL COMPOUNDS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(81)80066-4

Reaction of ?-allyldicyclopentadienyltitanium(III) complexes, preformed or formed in situ, with aldehydes or ketones proceeds with regiospecificity, high stereoselectivity and chemospecificity, affording, under mild conditions, the corresponding homoallyl alcohols after hydrolysis in excellent yields.
