83. Analysis of a sample of titanium triflate 6 that had been used as a catalyst on the bench over a period of six months revealed that it had partially decomposed (10%) to afford its corresponding bridging oxo dinuclear complex, however, this did not appear to have any adverse effect on its catalytic reactivity in these reactions; See Ref. [9a].
