Desulfurizative titanation of allyl sulfides. Regio and diastereoselective preparation of homoallyl alcohols

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(95)00068-N

The successive treatments of allyl sulfides with the low-valent organotitanium species, prepared by the reaction of tianocene dichloride with 2 equiv. of butyllithium, and aldehydes gave the homoallyl alcohols with high regio and diastereoselectivity in good yields.
