Abstract
The low-valent titanium (LVT) reagents have gained widespread acceptance in organic synthesis since their first use in 1973. McMurry coupling reaction uses the LVT (low-valent titanium) reagents. This article is an attempt to review the broad synthetic utilizations of this reagent in inter and intramolecular coupling of carbonyl groups in olefination, resulting in the formation of heterocyclic compounds.
Keywords: McMurry Coupling, Low-valent Titanium (LVT), Porphyrins, Cyclophanes, Giant Macrocycles, Five-membered Heterocycles, Seven-membered Heterocycles, Natural Products, olefination, heterocyclic.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
