In a dry sealable Schlenk flask under an argon atmosphere 0.059 g (0.099 mmol) (S,S)-ethylene-1,2-bis(η5 -4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-indenyl)titanium (S)-1,1'- binaphth-2,2'-diolate was dissolved in THF (10 mL). The vessel was degassed by exposure to vacuum (2 x~10 sec), put under an atmosphere of hydrogen and subsequently cooled to 0° C. in an ice water bath. After equilibration, a solution of n-butyllithium (0.125 mL, 1.58M in hexanes, 0.196 mmol, 1.96 equiv) was added and the mixture was allowed to stir for 10 min. Phenylsilane (0.033 mL, 0.259 mmol, 2.6 equiv) and 0.273 g (1.87 mmol, 19 equiv) 1-methyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalene were then added. The flask was sealed and the solution moved into a dry box and transferred to a Parr® high pressure reaction vessel containing a magnetic stir bar. The pressure vessel was sealed and moved to a fume hood where it was charged to 2150 psig with hydrogen and placed in an oil bath at 65° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 184 h. The vessel was cooled to room temperature, vented and opened to air. The reaction mixture was worked up by partitioning between diethyl ether/hexane (1/4) and water and separating the layers. The organic extract was distilled at reduced pressure to yield 0.195 g (1.31 mmol, 70%) of 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene with an ee of 70%, determined polarimetrically.
