Abstract
The present invention relates to the esterification of the halides of titanium, zirconium or hafnium. The esterification takes place in two steps. The first step is performed in the absence of acid acceptors, and the alcohol is introduced into the metal halide dissolved in a solvent, without any appreciable contact with the gas phase. The reactor must be held at the boiling temperature. In this step at least half of the alcohol needed for the entire reaction is used. The second esterification step is performed in a known manner with the addition of acid acceptors after the hydrogen halide that formed in the first esterification step has been removed.
