Procedure

To a sample (50 g, 0.134 mole) of magnesium chloride ethanol adduct prepared as in Example 2 and having an ethanol:magnesium chloride ratio of 6 was added 60 ml of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol. The solution was then distilled at 120° C. to remove ethanol and heptane. Decane (97.7 g) was added to the resulting viscous solution to obtain the magnesium chloride-2-ethylhexanol adduct as a clear, colorless solution. It had a molar ratio of 2-ethylhexanol:magnesium chloride of 2.9 and still contained approximately 1% ethanol.
