Titanacyclobutane Synthesis by Radical Alkylation of
Substituted Allyl Complexes. The Use of Electron-Rich
Bis(2-piperidinoindenyl)titanocene(III) Complexes to
Control Allyl Ligand Reactivity

In contrast to reactions of the bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)titanium system, substituted allyl
complexes of the electron-rich bis(2-piperidinoindenyl)titanium(III) template are converted to 2,3-disubstituted
titanacyclobutane complexes by free radical alkylation
at the allyl central carbon.
