Butyl Benzoate → Titanium trichloride butyl benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The mixture which was homogenised consisted of 119 g of titanium trichloride, 26 cm3 of butyl benzoate, 390 cm3 of toluene and 3 g of polystyrene ("Lustrex" HF 66). After operating the homogeniser at maximum power for 2.75 minutes, the contents of the flask had formed an immobile gel-like product and the temperature had risen to above 50° C. Homogenisation was terminated and 500 cm3 of toluene were added to assist in the transfer of the dispersed solid to a storage vessel.
