The stable binaphthol-titanium ladder complexes have been successfully prepared by using bulky alkoxo ligands. From the secondary OR ligand (cyclohexyloxo, 2,4-dimethyl-3-pentyloxo or 2-adamantyloxo) and terially OR ligand (tert-butyloxo, 1-adamantyloxo), partial hydrolysis proceeded to give the mu(3)-oxo titanium complexes. The use of [Ti(BINOLato)(OEt)(2)](n), made it possible to prepare the Ti(BINOLato)(OR)2 complexes using alcohols (ROH) of high boiling point (R = cyclohexyl, 2-adamantyl, 1-adamantyl). X-ray analyses of [(R)-1, 1'-bi-2-naphtholato]bis(O-2,4-dimethyl-3-pentyloxo)titanium and [(R)-3,3'-dimethyl-naphtholato]bis(2-adamant- yloxo)titanium showed a good agreement with the estimated ladder complexes. The catalytic activity of BINOL-Ti catalyst analogues, obtained by partial hydrolysis of Ti(BINOLato)(OR)(2) with wet MS 4A was studied in asymmetric glyoxylate-ene reaction by two methods. Moderate to good chemical yields and enantioselectivities were obtained. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
