The vast range of reactions mediated by titanocene monochloride (Cp2TiCl, the Nugent
reagent) in organic synthetic chemistry is reviewed. The power of the Nugent reagent in …

A nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling reaction between benzyl alcohols and aryl
halides has been developed using a homolytic C–O bond cleavage protocol that has …

Titanium complexes have been widely used as catalysts for CC bond-forming processes via
free-radical routes. Herein we provide an overview of some of the most significant …

The development of Green Chemistry inevitably involves the development of green
reagents. In this review, we highlight that Cp2TiCl is a reagent widely used in radical and …

In the last two decades, titanocene monochloride has been postulated as a monoelectronic
transfer reagent capable of catalyzing an important variety of chemical transformations. In …

Transition-metal-catalyzed C–Si/Ge cross-coupling offers promising avenues for the
synthesis of organosilanes/organogermanes, yet it is fraught with long-standing challenges …

Herein, we report the development of a dual catalytic approach for the cross-coupling of
nitriles with aryl-and aliphatic-bromides. A titanium (III) catalyst is used to activate nitriles …

The well-known Ugi reaction of aldehydes with amines, carboxylic acids and isocyanides
leads to the formation of acyclic α-acylaminocarboxamides. Replacement of the carboxylic …

(−)-cis-α-Ambrinol is a natural product present in ambergris, a substance of marine origin
that has been highly valued by perfumers. In this paper, we present a new approach to its …

Treatment of ynol ether-tethered dialkyl acetals with catalytic quantities of scandium triflate in
CH3CN gives rise to five-, six-, and seven-membered alkoxycycloalkene carboxylates in …
