Abstract

Ju Gao, Ming-yang Hu, Jian-xie Chen, Su Yuan, Wei-xing Chen ● Department of Chemistry, Nanjing University, Nanjing, 210008, China ... Abstract: Intermolecular cross coupling of carbonyl compounds with nitriles promoted by TiC!l,-Zn leads to ketones. ... Carbonyl compounds undergo intermolecular reductive coupling reaction to yield olefins on treatment with low-valent titanium reagent.' The reaction is usually limited to the preparation of symmetrical olafins from ...
