Abstract: The reaction product obtained by combining (i) a titanate (R.sup.1 O).sub.4 Ti (particularly tetraisopropyl titanate) with (ii) 2,4-pentanedione and (iii) a substance which is either(a) at least one other titanate (R.sup.2 O).sub.4 Ti (particularly tetramethyl or tetra-n-butyl titanate or mixtures thereof) or(b) at least one alcohol R.sup.3 OH (particularly methanol or n-butanol or mixtures thereof)wherein R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 differ from R.sup.1 and are each methyl, ethyl, 2-chloroethyl, isopropyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, n-pentyl, 2-pentyl, 3-methylbutyl, 2-methoxyethyl, or methoxyethoxyethyl and the titanate:pentanedione mol ratio is in the range between 1:1 and 1:2. The quantity of said substance is sufficient, even in the presence of a nucleating agent, to depress the freezing point of the reaction product obtained by combining said first-mentioned titanate with 2,4-pentanedione. Also methods of preparing the reaction product are disclosed.

Abstract: The reaction product obtained by combining (i) a titanate (R.sup.1 O).sub.4 Ti (particularly tetraisopropyl titanate) with (ii) a lower alkyl acetoacetate (particularly ethyl acetoacetate) and (iii) a substance which is either(a) at least one other titanate (R.sup.2 O).sub.4 Ti (particularly tetramethyl or tetra-n-butyl titanate or mixtures thereof) or(b) at least one alcohol R.sup.3 OH(particularly methanol or n-butanol or mixtures thereof)wherein R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 differ from R.sup.1 and are each methyl, isopropyl, n-butyl or n-pentyl and the titanate:acetoacetate mol ratio is in the range between 1:1 and 1:2 (preferably 1:1). The quantity of said substance is sufficient, even in the presence of a nucleating agent, to depress the freezing point of the reaction product obtained by combining said first-mentioned titanate with said acetoacetate. Also methods of preparing the reaction product are disclosed.
