Reaktionsschritte

One mole of tri-n-decylmethylchloride was added to 0.75 liters of methylene chloride and the solution was blanketed with nitrogen and cooled to 0° C. 0.33 moles of trimethylaluminum was then added and the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature. The mixture was slowly quenched with 50 ml of water followed by washing with 1 liter of a 10% HCl solution. The organic layer was dried with magnesium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated to give tri-n-decylmethylmethane after vacuum distillation at 225 C/0.5 torr. The yield was 75%.
