The synthesis and reactivity of titanium metallacycles

The synthesis and reactivity of titanium metallacycles
The synthesis and reactivity of titanium metallacycles

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.

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.
