T. Hansen et al., Development of a catalytic cycle for the generation of C1-glycosyl carbanions with Cp2TiCl2: application to glycal synthesis, TETRAHEDR L, 41(44), 2000, pp. 8645-8649
A catalytic cycle has been developed for the conversion of glycosyl halides
to their corresponding glycals using Cp2TiCl2. This process can be effecti
vely used with only 30% of the in situ generated single electron reducing a
gent in contrast to the 2 equivalents normally employed. (C) 2000 Published
