Titanium(IV) bromide (CAS 7789-68-6)
QUICK LINKS
Titanium(IV) bromide, with the chemical formula TiBr4, is a highly reactive and corrosive compound widely utilized in chemical synthesis and research. This versatile reagent plays a role in organic synthesis, serving as a common brominating agent that selectively introduces bromine atoms into organic molecules. Moreover, it exhibits utility as a Lewis acid catalyst, finding application in various reactions such as Diels-Alder reactions and Friedel-Crafts reactions. Capitalizing on its reactivity, titanium tetrabromide proves valuable in synthesizing other titanium compounds. The primary mechanism of action attributed to titanium tetrabromide stems from its capacity to function as a Lewis acid catalyst. In this role, it readily accepts a pair of electrons from a Lewis base, facilitating the formation of new chemical bonds. This catalytic capability allows for the facilitation of chemical reactions and thereby lends itself to numerous synthetic applications.
