(Chemical Equation Presented) This Mg-TiCl4-promoted CH 2-transfer reaction of CH2Cl2 represents an extremely simple, practical, and efficient methylenation of a variety of ketones and aldehydes, especially in enolizable or sterically hindered ketones such as 2,2-dimethylcyclohexanone, camphor, and fenchone.

The titanium methylidene fragment, Cp2Ti=CH2, resulting from Tebbe's reagent, Cp2TiCH2*AlMe2Cl or the β,β-disubstituted metallacycle, Cp2TiCH2C(Me)(n-Pr)CH2, methylenates enolizable acidic ketones and converts α,α-disubstituted ketones into titanium enolates.The reagent reacts selectively with ketones over esters.
