Procedure
Into the flask described hereinabove there were placed 204.2 grams of aluminium tri-isopropanolate to which 216 grams of acrylic acid were added during 8 minutes at room temperature (25° C.). The procedure was as set forth hereinabove. Owing to the reaction heat, the temperature increased to 32° C. The resultant product was a white, solid substance. The rotary evaporator heating then was switched on and gradually heated to 70° C. At the same time the vacuum was gradually adjusted to 24 mbar. The isopropanol was thereby expelled yielding a white powder.
