An air stable moisture resistant titanium triflate complex as a Lewis acid catalyst for C-C bond forming reactions.
An air and moisture stable C(3)-symmetric titanium(IV) triflate, supported by a tripodal amine-(tris-phenolate) ligand, has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography and shown to be a good Lewis acid catalyst for a range of aza-Diels-Alder, Diels-Alder, syn aldol, allylation, and alkylation reactions.
