The Ziegler catalyst TiCl4-Et2AlCl and the arenetitanium(II) complex (η6-C6H6)Ti(II)(AlCl4)2 induce cycloaddition reactions of cycloheptatriene with dienes and acetylenes.Addition to 1,3-butadiene affords 7-endo-vinyl-bicyclonona-2,4-diene (main product) and bicyclo-undeca-2,4,8-triene, a product of cycloaddition.Isoprene reacts similarly, yielding mainly 7-endo-isopropenyl-bicylonona-2,4-diene. 2,3-Dimethyl-1,3-butadiene gives 8,9-dimethylbicycloundeca-2,4,8-triene, a product of cycloaddition, while cross-adducts are minor products.The reaction of cycloheptatriene with norbornadiene gives mainly hexacyclo2.7.03.12.06.10.09.13>tetradec-4-ene via cycloaddition followed by intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.As a by-product, pentacyclo2.7.03.5.04.8>tetradeca-10,12-diene is formed by a mechanism.Addition of cycloheptatriene to phenylacetylene and bis-(trimethylsilyl)acetylene furnishes substituted bicyclonona-2,4,7-trienes.Alkenes, E,E-2,4-hexadiene and 1,3-cyclooctadiene are unreactive.The cycloaddition is made possible by coordination of cycloheptatriene to titanium, which changes the symmetry of the frontier orbitals in the triene.The reactivity of the trienophile is also enhanced by coordination to the catalyst.

The catalyst system TiCl4-Et2AlCl induces ?6s + ?2s> cycloadditions of cycloheptatriene to buta-1,3-diene, norbornadiene, and acetylenes.
