Polymer supported Ti(IV) catalyst was explored for some carbon-carbon bond forming reactions including allylation, cyanation and ene reactions (Scheme 6).9

Seebach and co-workers have developed polymer supported Ti-TADDOLate for enantioselective diethyl zinc addition to aldehydes.10 It showed high activity as well as enantioselectivity (Scheme 7).
Scheme 7
Chiral amino alcohol immobilized polyethylene (PE) fibers has been synthesized by electron beam induced perirradiation graft copolymerization method (Scheme 8).11 This more stable fibrous catalyst was used in phenylacetylene addition to benzaldehyde with Zn(OTf)2.
Scheme 8
Cross-linked polymer supported Ti(OiPr)2.BINOLate complex was reported for enantioselective diethyl zinc and trimethylsilyl cyanide addition reaction with aldehydes (Scheme 9).12
