A reaction of aryl ketones with phenyltitanium triisopropoxide ([PhTi(Oi-Pr)3]) in the presence of [Fe(acac)3] as a catalyst (1 mol%) gave the corresponding pinacols in high yields. The catalytic cycle of this process involves an iron-catalyzed disproportionation of [PhTi(Oi-Pr) 3] into biphenyl and a lowvalent titanium species.
