Nitroarenes are reduced by dicyclopentadienyltitanium chloride (Cp2TiCl) to azo compounds in moderate yield while benzylic and allylic chlorides and vicinal dibromides are catalytically transformed to the corresponding coupling products and alkenes, respectively, by the dicyclopentadienyltitanium dichloride/aluminum system.
