Titanium isopropoxide

<p>Titanium isopropoxide, also commonly referred to as titanium tetraisopropoxide or TTIP, is a <a href="/facts/Chemical_compound/37FXqqtv">chemical compound</a> with the <a href="/facts/Chemical_formula/hghUtthl">formula</a> Ti{OCH(CH3)2}4. This <a href="/facts/Alkoxide/RqG0rm1v">alkoxide</a> of titanium(IV) is used in <a href="/facts/Organic_synthesis/aprl6Iq7">organic synthesis</a> and <a href="/facts/Materials_science/N5HrXRYW">materials science</a>. It is a <a href="/facts/Diamagnetic/dgFavn9K">diamagnetic</a> tetrahedral molecule. Titanium isopropoxide is a component of the <a href="/facts/Sharpless_epoxidation/DDzwjEx7">Sharpless epoxidation</a>, a method for the synthesis of chiral epoxides.
</p><p>The structures of the titanium alkoxides are often complex. Crystalline <a href="/facts/Titanium_methoxide/03aIbVfa">titanium methoxide</a> is <a href="/facts/Tetramer/qeUFnwC4">tetrameric</a> with the <a href="/facts/Molecular_formula/hghUtthl">molecular formula</a> Ti4(OCH3)16. Alkoxides derived from bulkier alcohols such as <a href="/facts/Isopropyl_alcohol/7KqgIkUd">isopropyl alcohol</a> aggregate less. Titanium isopropoxide is mainly a monomer in nonpolar solvents.
