Abstract
Abstract The reaction of ketones with an excess of (CH 3) 2 TiCl 2 (6) leads to the replacement of the carbonyl oxygen atom by two methyl groups. This mild method of direct geminal dimethylation involves Grignard-type addition followed by formation of tertiary carbocations which are captured by methyltitanium species. Additional functional groups such as primary alkyl chlorides, thioethers, aromatics, ethers, and esters are tolerated, but ...
