Reaction Steps

This complex was prepared according to the procedure of L. Lombardo, Tetr. Let., 23, 4293 (1982). Titanium tetrachloride (11.5 ml, 0.105 mol) was slowly added dropwise to a stirred mixture of zinc dust (28.76 g, 0.44 mol) and dibromomethane (10.1 ml, 0.143 mol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (300 ml) at -40° under nitrogen. The mixture was warmed to 5° over 30 minutes, and then stirred at 5° for 4 days under argon. The slurry was stored at -20° under nitrogen and warmed to room temperature prior to use.
