A HIGHLY STEREOSELECTIVE PINACOLIZATION OF AROMATIC AND α,β-UNSATURATED ALDEHYDES MEDIATED BY TITANIUM(III)-MAGNESIUM(II) COMPLEX

Reduction of Cp2TiCl2 with sec-BuMgCl in THF gave a greenish deep brown solution which has been found to promote the reductive homocoupling of aromatic and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes to yield symmetrical 1,2-diols with high threo-selectivity.

REGIO-CONTROLLED FUNCTIONALIZATION OF 2,5-DIMETHYL-2,4-HEXADIENE INTO EPOXY ALCOHOLS BY PHOTOOXYGENATION IN THE PRESENCE OF TITANIUM(IV) OR VANADIUM(V)

Using Ti(OiPr)4 as oxygen transfer catalyst, the diene 1 afforded exclusively the epoxy alcohol 1c, but VO(acac)2 gave exclusively the isomerized epoxy alcohol 2c during its ene reaction with singlet oxygen.
