the job: 1,6‐Difunctionalized alkyl units, which are traditionally hard to access, have been successfully obtained through a reductive cross‐coupling of activatedalkenes catalyzed by TiIII. A plausible reaction mechanism that proceeds through redox umpolung of the enone is briefly discussed (see scheme, Cp=cyclopentadiene).
