43. The mechanism of the isomerization of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol into 3-methyl-2-butenal, catalyzed by an oxotitanium complex, has been previously investigated by synthesizing several compounds that model the postulated metal-oxo-propargyloxo intermediate. C. Y. Lorber, M.-T. Youinou, J. Kress, J. A. Osborn, Polyhedron 2000, 19, 1693-1698.
44. The basis of this reaction is a [3, 3]-sigmatropic transposition of the metal-oxo intermediate. Similar reactions are also known for allylic alcohols using molybdenum, vanadium, or rhenium catalysts.

78. The use of lower temperatures and/or catalyst loadings slowed down the reaction considerably; as an example, by using 1mol% of complex 2 under MW irradiation (300W) at 80°C, 3, 3-diphenylpropenal was formed in only 80% GC yield after 1h.
