| Abstract: | Addition of terminal or internal alkynes to a base‐free titanocene oxide results in synthesis of the corresponding oxometallocyclobutene. With appropriate cyclopentadienyl substitution, these compounds undergo reversible C? C reductive elimination offering a unique approach to cyclopentadienyl modification. |
