Many important asymmetric reactions are catalyzed by (BINOLate)Ti species w
ith unknown structures. Reported here are three structures of BINOLate tita
nium complexes that show an interesting aggregation of (BINOLate)Ti(OiPR)(2
) with itself and with titanium tetraisopropoxide. These complexes are pote
ntial intermediates in the asymmetric addition of alkyl groups to aldehydes
.
