A radical merry-go-round. An electron is transferred from a titanocene(III) complex to the substrate and finally back to the catalyst in a novel atom-economical tandem reaction. Complex structures can be readily accessed (see scheme). The unprecedented mechanism involving a homolytic cleavage of a TiO bond is supported by DFT calculations.
