Abstract
Titanium(IV) halides mediate a highly stereoselective vicinal difuctionalization of α,β-unsaturated ketones to provide multifunctionalized trisubstituted alkenes in very good yields and high Z:E stereoselectivity. The reaction can be performed at room temperature in a convenient vial under air.
