Oxovanadium(V) compounds serve as Lewis acids with oxidation capability and induce one-electron oxidative transformations of organosilicons, organotins, organoaluminums, organoborons, organozincs, and/or their ate complexes. Low-valent vanadium-catalyzed stereoselective reductive transformations, including dehalogenation, pinacol coupling, and the related radical reaction, have been developed by constructing a multicomponent redox system in combination with a coreductant and an additive.

Titanium tetrachloride can be reduced by lanthanum filings to the corresponding low valent titanium complex, which can induce some aromatic aldehydes to the corresponding pinacols in 28%-97% yields within 10-50 min in ethyl acetate at r.t. under ultrasound irradiation.

The isotypic crystal structures of two titanocene complexes containing anEMe3unit (E =Al, Ga; Me = methyl) with twoμ2-coordinating methyl groups, namely [μ-1(η5)-(adamantan-1-yl-2κC1)cycylopentadienyl]di-μ2-methyl-methyl-2κC-[1(η5)-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl]aluminiumtitanium(III), [AlTi(CH3)3(C10H15)(C15H18)], and [μ-1(η5)-(adamantan-1-yl-2κC1)cycylopentadienyl]di-μ2-methyl-methyl-2κC-[1(η5)-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl]galliumtitanium(III), [GaTi(CH3)3(C10H15)(C15H18)], are reported. Reacting a dinuclear nitrogen-bridged low-valent titanium(III) complex with the Lewis acids AlMe3or GaMe3results in the loss of molecular dinitrogen and the formation of two monomeric titanocene(III) fragments bearing twoμ2-bridging methyl groups. Single crystal X-ray diffraction reveals the formation of a newE—C bond involving the pentafulvene ligand while the bridging and terminal methyl groups remain intact.
