Abstract

A titanocene-catalyzed conjugate reduction of α, β-unsaturated carbonyl derivatives has been developed. A series of carbonyl compounds including aldehydes, ketones, esters, and amides proved viable in the reduction process providing an efficient, chemoselective method for the catalytic reduction of unsaturated carbonyl derivatives.
