Abstract

Abstract The composition of the gaseous products from the reaction of Ti (IV) isopropoxide with ethylmagnesium bromide in diethyl ether evidences the formation of subvalent titanium isopropoxide species in various oxidation states depending on relative amounts of the reactants. Reaction of titanium (IV) isopropoxide with one equivalent of the Grignard reagent gives presumably titanium (III) isopropoxide. The latter is generated as a result of ...
