  • The mechanism of the following reaction is given below:

Explanation:-

  • The mechanism of the reaction is shown below:

  • From the above reaction, we can see that in the first step of the reaction Ti(OiPr)4 acts as a lewis acid and forms complex with the oxygen atom of the more electrophilic aldehyde functional group of the substrate.
  • In the next step, the complex undergoes an ene reaction with the diene.

Conclusion:-

Hence, the major product formed in the following reaction is
