Abstract

The Ziegler catalyst TiCl4-Et2AlCl and the arenetitanium (II) complex (η6-C6H6) Ti (II)(AlCl4) 2 induce [6+ 2] cycloaddition reactions of cycloheptatriene with dienes and acetylenes. Addition to 1, 3-butadiene affords 7-endo-vinyl-bicyclo [4.2. 1] nona-2, 4-diene (main product) and bicyclo [4.4. 1]-undeca-2, 4, 8-triene, a product of [6+ 4] cycloaddition. Isoprene reacts similarly, yielding mainly 7-endo-isopropenyl-bicyclo [4.2. 1] nona-2, 4-diene. 2, 3- ...
