Description and Uses

Aluminium isopropoxide is usually described with the formula Al(O-i-Pr)3, where i-Pr is the isopropyl group (CH(CH3)2). This colourless solid is a useful reagent in organic synthesis. The structure of this compound is complex, possibly time dependent, and may depend on the solvent. It is primarily used in the oil and gas industry in combination with phosphate esters to form an anionic association polymer in which the aluminium as the cross-linking agent. Such gelling agents are used as fluid loss control additives in drilling operations.

Meerwein-Ponndorf reactions; alcoholysis and ester exchange; synthesis of higher alkoxides, chelates, and acylates; formation of aluminum soaps, formulation of paints; waterproofing finishes for textiles.
