Novel aspects of titanocene catalysed 5-exo cyclizations have been investigated. A model for the diastereoselectivity of the process is proposed. The synthesis of preparatively important [n.3.0] bicyclic systems is established and a potentially useful catalytic approach to the synthesis of tetrahydrofuran systems is introduced.
