Abstract

Aluminium to be used in the preparation of organic or organometallic compounds is activated by heating in the presence of hydrogen and a hydride of an element from Group Ia, IIa, IIb or IIIa of the Periodic system at a temperature of at least 150 DEG C. and below the decomposition temperature of said hydride. Specified hydrides include aluminium hydride, boron hydrides such as boroethane and borobutane, lithium hydride, sodium hydride, potassium hydride, calcium hydride, strontium hydride, barium hydride, beryllium hydride, magnesium hydride, and cadmium hydride. A minimum amount of activator of about 5-10 per cent based on the amount of aluminium may be used. The aluminium is preferably comminuted by grinding, milling, drilling or other operation. If desired the heating may be carried out with the aluminium and the hydride slurried in an inert liquid such as pentane, cyclopentane, hexane, cyclohexane, heptane, cycloheptane, octane, nonane, decane or decahydronaphthalene. The activated aluminium may be isolated and stored in an inert atmosphere such as moisture- and oxygen-free nitrogen or maintained in an inert organic liquid such as a moisture- and oxygen-free hydrocarbon. More conveniently it may be reacted without prior isolation with an olefin and hydrogen to give aluminium alkyls and alkyl aluminium hydrides. It may also be reacted with carbon tetrachloride to yield hexachlorethane. In an example aluminium chips are activated by heating in heptane with aluminium hydride (some of which decomposes to yield free hydrogen). After 7 hours heating at 150 DEG C., the autoclave is cooled, hydrogen and isobutylene added and reaction continued to yield triisobutyl aluminium. In examples V-VIII inclusive, beryllium hydride is used as the activator, and the products include di-isobutylberyllium as well as tri-isobutylaluminium. Specifications 808,705 and 808,706 are referred to.
