Dennehy, Robert Daniel (1992) The synthesis and reactivity of titanium metallacycles. University of Southampton, Doctoral Thesis.
Abstract
The intramolecular addition of titanocene vinylidene complexes (formed by dechloro-dimethylalumination of 1-dimethylalumino-1-(chlorodicyclopentadienyltitana)-alkenes to unactivated alkenes and alkynes is described. This reaction affords bicyclic titanacyclobutanes and titanacyclobutenes, which can be functionalised to a variety of organic products. The intermolecular addition of titanocene vinylidene complexes to unactivated alkynes similarly affords titanacyclobutenes which undergo an insertion-rearrangement reaction with tert-butyl isocyanide to give a hitherto unknown class of compounds, the allenyl ketenimines. Hept-1-en-7-yne has been carbometallated with a series of titanocene alkyl chlorides to give bicyclic titanacyclobutanes. These have been carbonylated in situ to afford bicyclic hydroxy-ketones.
