Catalytic, Highly Regio- and Chemoselective Generation of Radicals from Epoxides: Titanocene Dichloride as an Electron Transfer Catalyst in Transition Metal Catalyzed Radical Reactions

Sensitive functional groups like halides, ketones, or tosylates pose no difficulties in the new, [Cp2TiCl2]-catalyzed, radical reaction [Eq. (1)]. The conversions proceed with excellent chemoselectivity, which in many cases is complementary to that of established reactions.
