Abstract
Strong affinity of substituents to the low-valent titanium surface allows selective cross McMurry couplings of diaryl or aryl ketones with various substituted ketones in good yield. Through introduction and removal of such substituents, structurally similar ketones can be effectively cross-coupled.
