Abstract Cp 2 Tiη 3-allyl and Cp 2 Tiη 3-1-methylallyl react with carbon dioxide, phenylisocyanate, benzalaniline, acetone and acetonitrile to give insertion products which are formed via allyl migration. Normal insertion is observed with 2, 6 xylylisocyanide. Carbonylation of Cp 2 Tiη 3-allyl affords Cp 2 Tiη (CO) 2 and triallylmethanol. With carbon disulfide and diphenylacetylene, allyl elimination reactions are observed.
