Popis: The mechanism of catalytic 4-exo cyclizations without gem-dialkyl substitution was investigated by a comparison of cyclic voltammetry, EPR, and computational studies with previously published synthetic results. The most active catalyst is a super-unsaturated 13-electron titanocene(III) complex that is formed by supramolecular activation through hydrogen bonding. The template catalyst binds radicals via a two-point binding that is mandatory for the success of the 4-exo cyclization. The computational investigations revealed that formation of the observed trans-cyclobutane product is not possible from the most stable substrate radical. Instead, the most stable product is formed with the lowest energy of activation from a disfavored substrate in a Curtin-Hammett related scenario.
