| | ALUMINUM TERT-BUTOXIDE Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | slightly yellow crystalline powder | | Uses | Reagent for oxidation of alcohols to ketones; in dealcoholation of orthoesters. | | Uses | Aluminum tert-butoxide is utilized as a reagent in the Oppenauer oxidation of alcohols to ketones. It is also used in Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction of ketones. It is actively involved in the preparation of 1,1,2-triethoxyethene by reacting with 1,1,2,2-tetraethoxyethane followed by the elimination of alcohol. | | Purification Methods | Crystallise it from *C6H6 and it sublimes it at 180o.
