51. 8]THF also seems to be very high and side reactions (deoxygenation reactions) become important, leading to a consequent decrease in yield. Other solvents for radical reactions, such as tτBuOMe, DMF, benzene, or trifluorotoiuene, could not be used because the in situ generation of titanocene(III) does not take place.
