Alkyl and alkylidene derivatives of titanium supported by carbazole ligation

Abstract

The bis(benzyl) [(cb)₂Ti(CH₂Ph)₂] 1 and alkylidene bridged dimer [(cb)₂Ti(µ-CHSiMe₃)₂Ti(cb)₂ ] 3 are formed by adding carbazole (Hcb) to the tetraalkyls [TiR₄] (R = CH₂Ph, CH₂SiMe₃); the reaction of 1 and 3 with 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide leads to organometallic products containing new carbon–carbon bonds.
