The Wittig reaction efficiently olefinates aldehydes and ketones, but not esters or amides. Several early-transition-metal approaches have been taken to this problem. Recently, Takeshi Takeda of the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology reported (Tetrahedron Lett. 44 5571,2003) that the titanocene reagent can effect the condensation of an amide 10 with a thioacetal 11 to give the enamine 12. On hydrolysis, 12 is converted into the ketone 13. When the reaction is intramolecular, reduction proceeds all the way, to give the pyrrolidine IS.

I would like to extend my appreciation to all members of our laboratory in the Department of Biotechnology, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology. Especially Dr. M. Yoshizawa receives my most sincere thanks. This book would not have been hnished without his sacrihces. Last I would like to thank Dr. Arza Seidel of John Wiley and Sons, Inc. for her kind support and encouragement.
