Product Overview

Triethylaluminium (0.6M in heptane) is a highly reactive organoaluminium compound supplied in a stabilized solution for controlled handling. This AcroSeal®-packaged reagent ensures minimal exposure to moisture and air, preserving its purity and reactivity. The solution is specifically formulated for applications requiring precise alkylation reactions, where its strong Lewis acidity and reducing properties are critical. The heptane solvent provides compatibility with a wide range of organic substrates while maintaining solution stability. Due to its pyrophoric nature, this reagent demands strict handling protocols, including inert atmosphere conditions and specialized storage. The 0.6M concentration offers an optimal balance between reactivity and ease of dosing, making it suitable for both small-scale and bulk synthesis processes. Its sealed packaging prevents contamination and extends shelf life, ensuring consistent performance in demanding laboratory environments.

FAQs

1. What safety precautions are required when handling Triethylaluminium solution?

Use only in a fume hood with nitrogen or argon atmosphere. Wear flame-resistant gloves, face shield, and lab coat. Never expose to water or air.

2. Can this solution be diluted further for lower concentration applications?

Dilution is possible but must be performed under inert conditions using anhydrous solvents. Consult MSDS for proper procedures.

3. What is the typical shelf life of this AcroSeal®-packaged solution?

When stored unopened at recommended temperatures (2-8°C), the solution maintains stability for 12-18 months from manufacture date.

4. Are there any known incompatible materials with this reagent?

Avoid contact with oxidizing agents, acids, alcohols, and halogenated compounds. Reacts violently with water and protic solvents.

5. What analytical methods are recommended for verifying the solution’s concentration?

Complexometric titration or NMR spectroscopy are standard methods. Always perform under inert conditions to prevent sample degradation.
