  • General Characteristics

The olefination of thioacetals via generation of organotitanium intermediates using divalent titanocene reagents is known as the Takeda olefination.

The titanocene reagent needs to be prepared freshly for the reaction. Thioacetal-protected carbonyl compounds can be easily prepared. Compared with analogous systems such as the Tebbe, the Petasis, and the Takai-Lombardo reactions, the Takeda reaction has a wider substrate scope.
