During a study of the reactions of aromatic hydrocarbons with the hydrides formed by reducing cobalt(III) acetylacetonate with triisobuty-laluminum, Tyrlik and Michalski (98) observed that some of the cumene solvent is converted to ethylbenzene, e.g.,... 

Balu et used Tyrlik s reagent (TiCl3, Mg, THF) for the coupling reaction of aldehydes and ketones. However, in the presence of pyridine or hydroxy auxiliary (such as catechol, ethylene glycol or mannitol) the main product found is the diol and not the alkene.

In 1973 Mukaiyama, Tyrlik, and McMurry discovered a remarkably simple reaction that couples aldehydes or keto compounds reductively to olefins [1, 2]. This methodology following eq. (1) differs from that of Section 3.2.10 in that no extra methylene or alkylidene transfer reagent is required. The stereochemistry of the product depends on the nature of the substituents R and whether an open-chain or a cyclic olefin results.
