A compound of formula M(AlH3OR1)y, wherein R1 is phenyl substituted by at least one of:
- (i) an alkoxy group having from one to six carbon atoms;
- and (ii) an alkyl group having from three to twelve carbon atoms;
- wherein M is an alkali metal, Be or Mg;
- and y is one or two.
A process for production of a compound of formula M(AlH3OR2)y, wherein R2 is phenyl or phenyl substituted by at least one alkyl or alkoxy group, M is an alkali metal, Be or Mg;
- and y is one or two;
- said process comprising combining a compound of formula (R2O)yM with aluminum, hydrogen and a metallic catalyst selected from the group consisting of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, niobium, vanadium, tantalum and iron;
- wherein the catalyst is present at a level of at least 200 ppm based on weight of aluminum.
