Abstract
Stable solutions of aluminum alkoxides are prepared by reacting aluminum metal with a mixture containing isobutyl alcohol and n-butyl alcohol in which the mole ratio of isobutyl alcohol to n-butyl alcohol is from 1:1 to 20:1.
Claims4
An improved process for preparing stable solutions of aluminum butoxides by reacting metallic aluminum with butyl alcohol, the improvement which comprises reacting metallic aluminum with a mixture containing isobutyl alcohol and n-butyl alcohol at the reflux temperature of the alcohols but below the decomposition temperature of the aluminum butoxides, said alcohols are present in a mol ratio of isobutyl alcohol to n-butyl alcohol of from 1:1 to 20:1.
A stable alcohol solution containing from 30 to 90 weight percent of aluminum butoxides which is obtained from the reaction of isobutyl alcohol and n-butyl alcohol in a mol ratio of from 1:1 to 20:1 with metallic aluminum.
