Reaction conditions: 1 (2–3 equiv.), Ti(Oi-Pr)4, c-C5H9MgCl, PhMe (−78 to −35 °C), then cool to −78 °C and add Li alkoxide of the allylic alcohol as a solution in THF (warm to 0 °C).
In cases where selectivity is reported as ≥20:1, no evidence was found for products derived from C–C bond formation by a different path.
In cases where selectivity is reported as ≥ 20:1, no evidence was found for the formation of stereoisomeric products.
Olefin geometry of the major products was assigned by analogy to previous examples.
Yield reported is after HPLC purification.
