- Abstract
Titanaaziridines or η2-imine titanium complexes are considered key intermediates of the titanium-catalyzed hydroaminoalkylation of alkenes. Herein, we present an efficient synthetic route to this class of compounds, starting from N-methylanilines and a bis(η5:η1-pentafulvene)titanium complex. Consecutive reactions on the η2-methyleneaniline complexes, characterized for the first time, prove a high chemical versatility. In particular, hydroaminoalkylation products were found in reactions of the three-membered titanacycles with alkenes. For the first time, all the intermediates of the hydroaminoalkylation of alkenes were isolated and characterized.
