Described are the synthesis and characterization of three novel compounds 1-3, which are prepared from 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine, 3-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine, 4-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine and titanium(IV) butoxide. Titanium(IV) butoxide is dissolved in water to form a solid titanium dioxide. Hydrofluoric acid was used as the reactant as well as the solvent. The reactions were carried out between corresponding hydroxymethylpyridine and titanium dioxide in a molar ratio of 2:1. Each product precipitated after evaporation of the solvent at room temperature was in crystalline form. The products were characterized by elemental (CHN) analysis, IR spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy and X-ray structural analysis along with the yield of the synthesis determination.
