Titanium Tetrachloride → Chlorotitanium(3+);tris(diethylazanide)

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 250 mL Schlenk flask is charged with toluene, 100 mL, and titanium tetrakis(diethylamide), 6.21 g (18.5 mmole). To the magnetically stirred solution is added titanium tetrachloride, 1.17 g (6.15 mmole) resulting in a gradual darkening of the solution. The mixture is stirred 1 hour while refluxing. All volatiles are removed under vacuum at room temperature leaving a yellow-brown oil. The oil is transferred to a micro distillation apparatus and distilled under vacuum. A yellow-brown liquid is obtained which distills at 112 to 118° C. (at 0.025 mm Hg). The product is determined to be chloro titanium tris(diethylamide).
