Metal-ligand multiply bonded functionalities have garnered great interest over the last decade due to their ability to participate in a variety of metathesis-type reactions. In addition, transient early-metal imido complexes have been shown to induce C–H bond cleavage reactions at relatively mild temperatures. In this work, we present a systematic route toward the preparation of an unprecedented transient titanium-alkylidyne species and a series of C–X (X = H, F, O) bond cleavage reactions and discuss the mechanism by which this occurs. In addition, the complete denitrogentation of pyridine in the absence of H2 will be discussed.
