Tetrabutyl titanate (CAS#5593-70-4), also referred to as tetrabutyl titanate in Chinese, is a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid at room temperature, with a scent resembling esters. Upon exposure to air, it slowly becomes cloudy and undergoes hydrolysis. It is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether, slightly soluble in water, and tends to decompose when in contact with water.
