Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 30 ml glass bottle, under an argon atmosphere, were added 7.2 milligrams (0.029 millimol) of di(cyclopentadienyl)titanium dichloride, 8 mg (0.072 millimol) of 1,4-diazabicyclo(2.2.2)octane, 5 ml (40.0 millimol) of 4-methyl-1-pentene, 7 ml of chlorobenzene, and 0.045 ml (0.44 millimol) of ethylaluminum dichloride. After a two hour reaction at 25° C., there had been formed 1.08 millimol of 2-isobutyl-6-methyl-1-heptene.
