Stereochemistry of (eta(2)-propene)Ti(O-i-Pr)(2)-mediated cyclization
of enynols and allenynols is efficiently controlled by their remote hy
droxy group, showing good diastereaselectivities as high as 82:18-98.5
:1.5, which are uniformly superior to those observed for the correspon
ding t-BuMe2Si ethers. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. AII rights reser
