Procedure

This example illustrates the use of a high Cl/Al atomic ratio. Dimethylaluminum chloride and ethylaluminum dichloride were prepared by a process similar to Reaction (1) above, except that methylaluminum dichloride was used as a starting material in place of methylaluminum sesquichloride. Hence, the reaction was as follows, with a starting mixture having a Cl/Al ratio of 1.75:
