Description

Di-n-Propylaluminum Chloride is a highly reactive organoaluminum compound primarily used as a 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 selectivity. This chemical is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries where precise molecular construction is required.

Application

• Catalyst in Olefin Polymerization: Acts as a co-catalyst in Ziegler-Natta type systems for the production of polyolefins and elastomers.
• Alkylation Agent: Used in fine chemical synthesis to introduce propyl groups into organic molecules, a key step in creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agrochemical intermediates.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Employed in stoichiometric and catalytic amounts for reactions such as hydroalumination, carbonyl alkylation, and reduction.
• Production of Organometallic Complexes: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing other aluminum-based reagents and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Research & Development: A valuable tool in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new catalytic cycles and synthetic methodologies.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile, hygroscopic, and pyrophoric nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from heat, moisture, and incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
