Bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)titanium hydride (Cp2TiH), presumably formed in situ from bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)titanium dichloride (1) and isopropylmagnesium bromide (2) adds to the conjugated C=C bonds of the alkatrienes 4, 5, 25, 36, and 45 to give the (alkenyl-η3-allyl)bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)titanium complexes 7 and 10, 8, 26, and 30, 37, 46.The complexes 7, 8, and 26 with the alkenyl group in position 1 isomerize to give the compounds 27, 28, and 29 in which the C=C bond is conjugated with the allyl group.Compound 37 which contains an alkenyl group in a meso-position does not isomerize.In the case of isomycoren (40), TiH addition occurs primarily to the isolated C=C bond followed by intramolecular cyclization to give the bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)(1-cyclopentyl-η3-allyl)titanium complex 41.
