Abstract

Figure 1. ORTEP plot of threo-2, 7-dimethyl-4-octyne-3, 6-diol. sink such as a r-electron system, namely a carbonyl, aryl, or olefinic group. In the case of aryl or olefinic groups an oxygen atom, in the form of alcohol or ether, should be on an adjacent carbon atom. The oxygen atom is converted to a leaving group by the coordination of the oxyphilic titanium with an n-bonding pair of electrons on oxygen. Thus, benzyl alcohol can be coupled to ...
