Abstract

η3-2-Methylcrotyl(tiglyl)titanocene reacts with aldehydes to afford anti homoallylic alcohols when the reaction is carried out in THF, and preferentially syn products when the solvent is HMPA/THF=3:1. This simple control of anti versus syn diastereoselectivity expands considerably the synthetic uses of the crotyltitanation reaction.
