Description

Dipropylaluminium Hydride is a highly reactive organoaluminium compound primarily used as a selective reducing agent and catalyst in organic synthesis. Its core value lies in its ability to facilitate precise chemical transformations, such as the reduction of carbonyl groups and the polymerization of olefins, which are critical for producing high-value intermediates. This chemical is essential for R&D laboratories and industrial-scale production within the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced polymer sectors, where controlled reactivity and purity are paramount.

Application

• As a selective reducing agent for carbonyl compounds in fine chemical synthesis.
• As a co-catalyst or activator in Ziegler-Natta type olefin polymerization reactions.
• In the hydroalumination of unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkynes, alkenes) to create organoaluminium intermediates.
• For the synthesis of other organometallic compounds via transmetalation reactions.
• In specialty chemical manufacturing requiring precise stoichiometric control.
• As a reagent in organometallic chemistry research and development of new catalytic processes.

Quality Control

Our Dipropylaluminium Hydride is manufactured and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. All materials are subjected to rigorous analytical testing, including assay and impurity profiling. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, concentration (typically supplied as a solution in an inert hydrocarbon solvent), and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its pyrophoric and highly volatile nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, ignition sources, and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability. Containers must be kept tightly sealed and upright to prevent moisture ingress and pressure buildup.
