Reaction Steps

NaOSitBu3 (0.502 g, 2.106 mmol, prepared by reacting Na and tBu3SiOH in refluxing hexane) in toluene (20 mL) was added to a toluene solution (20 mL) of CpTiCl3 (0.462 g, 2.106 mmol) at −78° C. The solution was warmed to 23° C. and stirred for about 5 hours. The solution was pumped to dryness and the residue was extracted with hexane. The hexane solution was concentrated to ˜2 mL and the product crystallized as yellow-orange crystals at −70° C. Yield was 0.79g, 94%. 1H NMR (C7D8, δ): 6.22 (s, 5H), 1.17 (s, 27H).
