Reaction of vinyltitanium(IV) species prepared by the alkylation of titanium-vinylcarbene complexes
Vinyltitanium(IV) species prepared by the alkylation of titanium-vinylcarbene complexes with tert-butyl chloride reacted with aldehydes to give allylic alcohols. The reaction of vinyltitanium species with terminal alkynes produced conjugated dienes, in which a vinyl group regioselectively bonded to the unsubstituted side of carbon-carbon triple bond.
