Reaction of Ti(OPri)4 with propan-2-one, under
initially anhydrous conditions, yields a colourless moisture-sensitive
crystalline product which is structurally identified as the trinuclear
oxoalkoxide
[Ti3O{µ-OPri)3(OPri)
4{Me2C(O)CHC(O)CH2C(O)Me
2}] containing a coordinated C9 ligand derived
from the condensation of propan-2-one.
