Phenol → Bis(2-methylpropyl)(phenoxy)alumane

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner analogous to that described in Example 1, triisobutylaluminum and phenol are reacted in absolute toluene to give phenoxy-diisobutylaluminum and this is then reacted with pyridine-N-oxide-2-thiol to give the title compound. The isolation of the product is carried out in an analogous manner. The yield of phenoxy-bis(2-pyridinethiolato)aluminum N,N'-dioxide, a white solid, is 98% of theory. Melting point: 240°-241° C. (with decomposition).
