Description

Dimethylaluminum Chloride (CAS NO 1184-58-3) is a highly reactive organoaluminum compound primarily used as a versatile catalyst and alkylating agent in organic synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to facilitate critical carbon-carbon bond formation and polymerization reactions with high efficiency and selectivity. This chemical is essential for R&D and production in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials industries, where precise molecular construction is paramount.

Application

• As a co-catalyst in Ziegler-Natta type systems for the polymerization of olefins.
• As a Lewis acid catalyst in Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions.
• As a key reagent in the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates.
• In the production of organometallic precursors for Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD).
• As an alkylating agent in organic synthesis to introduce methyl groups.
• In the research and development of novel polymeric materials and elastomers.
