While low valent Ti complexes are useful catalysts for various alkene and alkyne couplings and even nitrogenation using N2, their reactivity makes stable complexes uncommon. As such we are synthesizing arene-linked bisphenoxide ligands to provide a new ligand scaffold for stabilization of low valent Ti centers through arene masking. Synthesis of the pre-catalysts and initial catalytic results for small molecule transformations will be presented.
