The Ti(IV)-catalyzed Ugi condensation of α-amino acids with electron-rich aromatic aldehydes performs adequately even with sterically demanding α-amino carboxylate salts. The reaction occurs diastereoselectively, in some cases with virtually complete diastereoselectivity. A stereochemical rationale for the reaction is proposed.

Pyrrolopyrrole aza-BODIPY analogues were synthesized from diketopyrrolopyrrole and heteroaromatic amines in the presence of titanium tetrachloride. These novel compounds exhibit intense absorption in the visible region and strong emission with high fluorescence quantum yields greater than 0.8.
