Convenient in situ Generation of an Active Titanium(III)-Reagent for Stereoselective Pinacolisation of Aromatic Aldehydes

Addition of butyllithium to titanium tetrachloride in diethylether produces a mixture capable of reducing the aromatic aldehydes RCHO (R = C6H5, p-MeC6H4, p-ClC6H4, or o-MeC6H4) stereoselectively to 1,2-diols (RCHOH)2 with relative topicity lk.
