Product Details
Tetrabutyl titanate (CAS No. 5593-70-4) is a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid with an ester like odor under ambient temperature. When exposed to air, it gradually turns turbid and undergoes hydrolysis. This compound dissolves in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, while only being slightly soluble in water, and decomposes upon contact with water.
