Abstract

We describe the first Ti-catalyzed Reformatsky-type coupling between alpha-halo ketones and aldehydes. The reaction affords beta-hydroxy ketones under mild, neutral conditions compatible with ketones and other electrophiles. The catalytic cycle possibly proceeds via bis(cyclopentadienyl)titanium enolates.
