Manganese-promoted, titanocene-catalyzed stereoselective pinacol coupling of aldehydes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908086078

Aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes undergo pinacol coupling when treated with Mn/Me₃SiCl in the presence of Cp₂TiCl₂ as catalyst. Good yields of bis-silyl pinacol ethers are obtained with varying degrees of diastereoselectivity. Enantioselective pinacolization has been achieved using an enantiomerically enriched catalyst.
