Abstract: | Contributions to the Chemistry of Transition Metal Alkyl Compounds. XLIII. Tetrakis(alkoxycarbonylmethyl)titanium Compounds Organotitanium(IV) compounds of the type (ROCOCH2)4Ti (R ? C2H5, i-C3H7, t-C4H9, C6H5, C6H5CH2) were obtained by reactions of ROCOCH2Li derivatives with TiCl4 at low temperature. The compounds which decompose only above 90°C were characterized by the hydrolysis products, anaerobic reactions with iodine, and the i.r. spectra. The bond conditions are discussed. |
