Product Features
Aluminium n-Butoxide is a high-purity product. It is easily soluble in most organic solvents, such as benzene, toluene, alcohols, ethers, ketones, and hydrocarbons. It is extremely sensitive to air and moisture, rapidly hydrolyzing to form aluminum hydroxide and butanol.
Applications
Aluminium n-Butoxide is an aluminum alkoxide compound that serves as a crucial reagent in organic synthesis and materials science.
As a classic transfer hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis reagent, it enables mild and selective carbonyl reduction or alcohol oxidation in fine organic synthesis.
As a key precursor for high‑performance alumina materials, it plays an irreplaceable role in advanced material preparation.
