Titanium(IV) chloride, 99.99% (metals basis)

Titanium(IV) chloride is used to make titanium metal, pigment titanium dioxide and is used in smoke screens. It is involved in the activation of pyrrolidines for better conversion through a modified Bouveault reaction, to the corresponding alpha, alpha -dimethylamines. In organometllic chemistry, it is used to prepare complexes like titanocene dichloride, which is a precursor to Ziegler-Natta catalysts. Tebbe’s reagent is an aluminum containing derivative of titanocene used for the olefination reactions.
