General description

Titanium(IV) chloride participates in the Baylis-Hillman reaction of arylaldehydes with methyl vinyl ketone. Neutral solutions of TiCl4 having a pH in the range of 2.5 to 6.0 (prepared by the addition of magnesium oxide as a base) are used to synthesize nanosized titanium dioxide.

Application

Activates pyrrolidines for improved conversion, via a modified Bouveault reaction, to the corresponding α,α-dimethylamines.
Titanium(IV) chloride has been used in the synthesis of anatase TiO2 structures with macropores (250nm in diameter) and mesoscale pores (50nm in diameter).
Promotes a highly selective aldol reaction of (S)-2-benzyloxy-3-pentanone in THF or DME.

Stereoselectivity of TiCl4-mediated aldol reactions from (S)-2-benzyloxy-3-pentanone is dramatically improved when the reaction is carried out in the presence of 1.1 equiv of tetrahydrofuran (THF) or 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME). The resultant 2,4-syn-4,5-syn adducts are then obtained in diastereomeric ratios up to
