The titanium methylidene fragment, Cp2Ti=CH2, resulting from Tebbe's reagent, Cp2TiCH2*AlMe2Cl or the β,β-disubstituted metallacycle, Cp2TiCH2C(Me)(n-Pr)CH2, methylenates enolizable acidic ketones and converts α,α-disubstituted ketones into titanium enolates.The reagent reacts selectively with ketones over esters.
