title: Titanacyclopentene complexes and their application as 1,4-dicarbanion equivalents.
abstract: The treatment of Ti(OiPr)(4) with 3-butenylmagnesium chloride generates titanacyclopentene complexes which effectively add to carbonyl compounds and nitriles to afford the 1,4-coupling products with high Z:E selectivities.
