Abstract
The simple and inexpensive combination of TiCl4(2,4,6-collidine) and manganese powder afforded a low-valent titanium reagent, which facilitated homolytic cleavage of benzylic C-OH bonds. Radical conjugate addition reactions of various benzyl alcohol derivatives with electron-deficient alkenes furnished the corresponding adducts in good yields.
