- Description
- Interest in the use of low-valent titanium species as reagents in organic synthesis began with Van Tamelen and his research team in 1965, when they reported the first ever low-valent titanium-induced reductive dimerization of alcohols to give hydrocarbons [1]. In the early seventies shortly after the Van Tamelen report, the research teams of Mukaiyama,[2] Tyrlik[3] and McMurry[4] made the independent and simultaneous discovery that ketones and aldehydes undergo reductive dimerization to yield olefins on treatment with low-valent titanium reagents. Particularly McMurry and his co-workers [5,6,7] have extensively investigated this reaction, therefore this process is now generally referred to as the “McMurry reaction”.
