Low-Valent Titanium Mediated Reductive Cleavage of Benzylidene Acetals: A Modified Mcmurry Reaction

Low-Valent Titanium Mediated Reductive Cleavage of Benzylidene Acetals: A Modified Mcmurry Reaction

Reductive cleavage of benzylidene acetals using low-valent titanium reagent results in the formation of aryl alkanes and stilbenes. Aliphatic acetals, however, remain unaffected. This cleavage offers an attractive, alternate stereoselective route to stilbenes in a modified McMurry reaction.
