Abstract
New examples of ansa-titanocenes derived from 1,2-bis(2-indenyl)ethane have
been prepared. The titanium-mediated reductive coupling of 2-(hydroxymethy
l)indenes provided a convenient method for substrate dimerization. Alkyl su
bstitution of the indene ring at C(3) improved the regioselectivity of the
reductive couplings to provide the ethylene bis(2-indenyl)ansa-ligands in 2
9-62% yield. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
