A mixture of this compound's main components was found to be effective in situ when reacting with butylcyclohexanone.
A mixture of this compound's main components was found to be effective in situ when reacting with butylcyclohexanone. One synthesis of this product uses a compound named for Petasis. For it to be activated it must reacted with a base, typically pyridine, to generate a compound that contains a double bonded methylene known as a Schrock carbene. It then undergoes a [2+2] and a retro [2+2] cycloaddition reaction with the compound it modifies. It consists of a central methylene bonded to two metals, one of which is bonded to two cyclopentadienyl groups while the other one is bonded to two methyl groups. For 10 points, identify this reagent that methylenates carbonyl groups and contains both aluminum and titanium.
