RESUMO
A simple and mild catalytic coupling reaction of propargyl halides with organotitanium reagents is reported. The reaction of propargyl bromide with organo-titanium reagents mediated by NiCl2 (2 mol%) and PCy3 (4 mol%) in CH2Cl2 afforded coupling product allenes in good to excellent yields (up to 95%) at room temperature. However, NiCl2(PPh3)2 was the best catalyst for substituted propargyl halides to yield allenes or alkynes preferentially. On the basis of the experimental results, a possible catalytic cycle has been proposed.

Direct asymmetric additions of ArTi(O-i-Pr)(3) to aldehydes catalyzed by a titanium catalyst of (R)-H(8)-BINOL are reported. The reactions proceed instantaneously at room temperature, affording alcohols in ≥90% ee. Importantly, the ArTi(O-i-Pr)(3) reagent differentiates the ligand effectiveness in an order of H(8)-BINOL > BINOL > TADDOL > diol 3 > disulfonamide 2.
