Alcoholysis reactions of Al(OBu-s)(3) were performed with different mole ratios of 2-ethoxyethanol and 2-butoxyethanol at room temperature and combining ratios were found to be 1:3 [Al(OBu-s)(3):alcohol] by H-1 NMR analyses. Al(OBu-s)(3) and alcohol-modified Al(OBu-s)(3) were reacted at room temperature with equimolar amounts of methacrylic acid and ethyl acetoacetate and the products were characterized by H-1 NMR, GC, FT-IR and elemental analyses. Hydrolysis-condensation reactions of the various compounds thus formed were studied in detail and the products were characterized by gas chromatography, Karl Fisher coulometric titrations, thermal analysis and FT-IR.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSol-Gel ProcessAlkoxide PrecursorsChemistryTitaniumBoehmiteGibbsiteArticle27101437145210.1080/009457197080031492-s2.0-0031321731N/AWOS:A1997YK58400002Q4
