Abstract

A variety of organic transformations using titanium tetraiodide are described, in which iodotitanation, reduction, and use as a Lewis acid are discussed in detail. The iodotitanation reactions make possible the diastereoselective iodoaldol reactions and iodo olefin synthesis. The ability of iodide anion to reduce various substrates was utilized in many of chemoselective organic transformations. The mild Lewis acidity of titanium tetraiodide induces the catalytic aldol and Mannich-type reactions.
