Aluminum isopropoxide → HCID 86745678, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

One gram (5 mmoles) of aluminum isopropoxide was dissolved in 10 ml of Freon TF solvent and 0.7 grams (6 mmoles) of magnesium ethoxide added. After mixing in an ultra-sonic bath, followed by settling of suspended matter, 3 ml of the clear solution was analyzed for Mg and Al. Theory Al: 1.5 mmole, Found Al: 1.5 mmole. Theory Mg: 1.8 mmoles, Found Mg: 0.08 mmoles. Conclusion: Little effect of Aluminum alkoxide on solubility of Magnesium alkoxide in Freon TF, and therefore not a useful system for deacidification of books.
