Abstract

The ubiquitous (3-hydrogen abstraction process is typically considered a nuisance in transition-metal organometallic chem- istry. 1 In the case of metallacyclopentane rings formed by reductive coupling of alkenes, CJ-hydrogen abstraction/elimina- tion pathways (although sometimes slow) offer the potential for achieving the overall catalytic dimerization of the substrates.2 We report here our observations concerning a new series of titanium ...
