Titanocene-catalyzed formation of allylsilanes from allyl ethers and chlorosilanes

Abstract A new method for silylation of allyl ethers with chlorosilanes has been developed by the use of Cp 2 TiCl 2 as a catalyst. This reaction proceeds efficiently at −20 °C in THF using n BuMgCl. A plausible reaction pathway via allyltitanocene intermediate was proposed.
