Low-valent titanium mediated reductive cleavage of benzylidene acetals: A modified McMurry reaction

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919808004285

Reductive cleavage of benzylidene acetals using low-valent titanium reagent results in the formation of aryl alkanes and stilbenes. Aliphatic acetals, however, remain unaffected. This cleavage offers an attractive, alternate stereoselective route to stilbenes in a modified McMurry reaction.
