Abstract: This paper reports the reactions of low-valent titanium reagent(TiCl4-Zn system) with (3-oxo-1,3-diaryl) propylpropanedinitrile. It is found that the low-valent titanium can promote a novel cyclization of (3-oxo-1,3-diaryl)propylpropanedinitrile to give 2-cyano-3,5-diary-1-aminocyclopentene, trans and cis 2-amino-3-cyano-1,4-diary-2-cyclopentene-1-ol. The latter's configurations are determinated by X-ray diffraction analysis.The crystal of compound 3c is triclinic with space group P1, a =1.0389(4) nm, b =1.2292(4) nm, c = 0.8027(3) nm, 7 α = 93.29(3)°, r =113.32(3)°, V =0.9362(6) nm3, Z =2, Dc=1.1939 g/cm3, μ =0.77 cm-1, F (000)= 360, and find R =0.067 and Rw=0.057 for 1308 reflections ( I >3 σ ( I )). The crystal of compound 4a is orthorhombic with space group Pbcn, a = 1.3370(5) nm, b = 1.0481(5) nm, c =2.3350(6) nm, V =3.272(3) nm3, Z =8, Dc= 1.262 g/cm3, μ = 2.36 cm-1, F (000)=1296, and find R =0.043 and Rw=0.049 for 1426 reflections ( I >3 σ ( I )). A possible reaction mechanism is proposed in this paper.
