60. As far as we know, this alkylation is unprecedented. In fact, we have observed that styrene can be converted into 1-propenylbenzene by treatment with dimethyltitanocene (2 molar equiv) in toluene at reflux for 8 h. We appreciate the suggestion of one of the reviewers pointing out a plausible mechanism for this transformation: a [2 + 2] cycloaddition between the titanium carbene and the alkene followed by β-hydride abstraction would give an allyl titanium hydride, which would undergo reductive elimination.
