Abstract
Inter-, partially intra-, and intramolecular [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions of alkynes were catalyzed by a low-valent titanium species generated in situ from the reduction of CpTi(O-i-Pr)3, CpTiCl3, or Cp*TiCl3 with Mg or Zn powder in the presence of Me3SiCl. The role of Me3SiCl as an additive in the reaction mechanism is discussed.
