Popis: Complexes of formula [(H2N2O2)TiCl2] and [(H2N2O2)Ti(OiPr)2] (H2N2O2H2 = HOPh’CH2NH(CH2)2NHCH2Ph’OH, where Ph’ = 2,4-(CMe2Ph)C6H2) were synthesized by the reaction of the salan ligand precursor H2N2O2H2 with TiCl4 and Ti(OiPr)4, respectively, in high yields. The dichlorido complex [(H2N2O2)TiCl2] revealed to be an efficient catalyst for the reduction of benzaldehyde in toluene. Full conversion was observed after 24 h at 55 °C in THF. The same catalyst also converted phenylacetaldehyde and hydrocinnamaldehyde into the corresponding alkanes quantitatively.
