Abstract
Dimeric dimethylaluminum Compound,
\Me(2)Almu-OCH(CH(3))CH(2)OCH(3)\(2), was synthesized by the
reaction of trimethylaluminum and 1-methoxy-2-propanol, an alkoxyalcohol
containing asymmetric carbon, and characterized by (1)H, (13)C, and
(27)Al NMR spectroscopy. The 1-methoxy-2-propoxodimethylaluminum, as
shown by the single crystal structure determination, exists as a dimer
in the solid-state in which the ether alkoxide ligand chelates to the
aluminum atom. The solution structure was probed by (1)H, (13)C, and
(27)Al NMR spectroscopy and the results showed that the five-coordinate
isomer is in equilibrium with the four-coordinate isomer. However,
variable-temperature (27)Al NMR spectroscopy showed only the presence of
five-coordinate isomer at - 15 degrees C and below.
