Description

Di-tert-Butylhydridealuminum is a highly reactive organoaluminum compound, specifically a dialkylaluminum hydride. Its unique steric profile from the bulky tert-butyl groups makes it a valuable reagent for selective reductions and as a co-catalyst in polymerization processes. This compound is essential for R&D chemists and process engineers in the fine chemical and advanced materials sectors, where precise control over hydride transfer reactions is required.

Application

• As a selective reducing agent in organic synthesis for carbonyl and imine functional groups.
• As a co-catalyst or activator in Ziegler-Natta type olefin polymerization systems.
• As a precursor for the synthesis of other organoaluminum complexes and catalysts.
• In the development of advanced materials, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and ceramic precursors.
• For the hydroalumination of unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkenes, alkynes).
• In specialty chemical manufacturing requiring sterically hindered aluminum hydride chemistry.

Quality Control

Our Di-tert-Butylhydridealuminum is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Production adheres to cGMP guidelines where applicable, and all materials are handled in controlled, inert environments to prevent degradation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, purity, and solvent content is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties of being highly volatile and easily oxidized, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents. The container must be kept tightly sealed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
