Ti(η5-C5H5)(η5-C5H4(t)Bu)(CH2Ph)2; a probe of the course of the petasis benzylidenation reaction
Hart,McCamley,Taylor
, p. 90 - 92 (1999)
The existence of the proposed benzylidene intermediate 11 in the Petasis benzylidenation procedure is supported by the isolation of cyclometallated product 8. A model is proposed which explains the empirical observation that a large acid residue and a small ester group are needed for good stereoselectivity in benzylidenation reactions.

(Chemical Equation Presented) The scope and limitations of lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide (LTMP)-modified reductive alkylation of epoxides is detailed. A variety of organolithiums are added to terminal and 2,2-disubstituted epoxides in the presence of LTMP to generate alkenes in a completely regio- and highly stereoselective manner. Arylated alkenes, dienes, allylsilanes, and enynes are accessed using this procedure. The methodology is applied in the synthesis of the roller leaf moth pheromone, (3E,5Z)-dodecadienyl acetate. The corresponding reaction without LTMP has also been examined, and a study using deuterated epoxides provides insight into the mechanism. In the presence of LTMP, Grignard reagents are also shown to produce E-alkenes directly from epoxides.
AZO ANIONS IN SYNTHESIS. USE OF TRITYL- AND DIPHENYL-4-PYRIDYLMETHYLHYDRAZONES FOR REDUCTIVE C-C BOND FORMATION.
Baldwin, Jack E.,Adlington, Robert M.,Bottaro, Jeffrey C.,Kolhe, Jayant N.,Newington, Ian M.,Perry, Matthew W. D.

The lithium salts of trityl- and diphenyl-4-pyridylmethyl-hydrazones of both aldehydes and ketones react with electrophiles (alkyl halides, aldehydes, ketones, crotonates) at low temperature to form C-trapped azo compounds; these intermediates decompose homolytically with loss of nitrogen below room temperature and can be diverted in a synthetically useful way to alkanes, alkenes, alcohols or saturated esters.
