Significance

The reaction between acetylenes and nitriles in the presence of titanium(II) alkoxides represents an easy route for the preparation of various polyfunctional heterocycles. A number of substituted pyridines, pyrroles and furans, bearing a variety of substituents, were prepared under mild conditions in good yields. A very operationally simple procedure was developed.
