Insertion of acetylenes into carbon–titanium σ-bonds
Abstract
Photochemically induced reactions between [(η5-C5H5)2TiMe2] and either diphenylacetylene or bis(pentafluorophenyl)acetylene have been shown to produce σ-methylstilbenyltitanium derivatives resulting from insertions of these alkynes into the methyltitanium σ-bond.
