FIELD: organic synthesis.
SUBSTANCE: invention provides a method for preparing water/glycerol complex of (2,3-dihydroxypropyl) ortho-titanate hydrochloride (chloride) having symbolic name "Ephtiderm", which is depicted by following empirical formula: 
Method consists in that glycerol is mixed with butyl ortho-titanate at molar ratio 12:1, whereupon butanol is distilled off in vacuum, residue is treated with water and aqueous hydrochloric acid to form reaction mass with pH 2.2-3.0, which is heated in vacuum. Method is characterized by that glycerol is mixed with low-grade butyl ortho-titanate and chloroform, reaction mass during the synthesis is maintained at temperature up to 100°C in vacuum 40-200 mm Hg, while chloroform is added at 40-50°C in amount corresponding to 1 L chloroform per 2 L low-grade butyl ortho-titanate.
EFFECT: reduced expenses due to use of low-grade butyl ortho-titanate and simplified technology.
