Site-selective mono-titanation of conjugated diynes with a Ti(II) alkoxide reagent. Concise preparation of stereo-defined enynes and dienynes.
Conjugated diynes underwent selective mono-titanation with a Ti(II) reagent to give 1:1 diyne-titanium alkoxide complexes, which reacted with proton, aldehyde, and another acetylene to give stereo-defined enynes, enynols, and dienynes.
