Aluminum Methyl. Same as Trimethyl Aluminum Aluminum Nitride. See under Nitrides Aluminum Ophorfte. Under this unusual name, an expi mixt was patented and claimed to be suitable for military purposes. lt consisted of Al foil finely ground in oil (which was not in excess of 2% of the mixt) and mixed with pulverized alkali and metal perchlorates Ref D. B. Bradner, USP 1,775,06 3(1930) ...

More recently, a viable S3mthetic route was found that follows methodology similar to those used to make a number of aluminum methyl monohydroxides (28) of general formula L AIR (OH) (5b-5h, Scheme 4). 

Preparation of Derivatives. A -Acyl- and A-enoylsul-tam derivatives are routinely prepared in good yields using either sodium hydride-acid chloride or trimethyl-aluminum-methyl ester single-step protocols. A variant of the former method employing in situ stabilization of labile enoyl chlorides with CuCl/Cu has also been reported. A two-step procedure via the A-TMS derivative (1) is useful when a nonaqueous work-up is desirable and for synthesis of the A-acryloyl derivative. A-Enoyl derivatives may also be prepared via the phosphonate derivative (2) by means of an Homer-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction (eq... 

H atoms in bridging positions (see Topic G3 ). Other groups such as methyl CH3 can do this, for example in dimeric aluminum methyl, A12(CH3)6, which has a structure essentially similar to B2H6 with CH3 in place of H (see Topic G4). 

Combustible liquid (flash point 151°F/66°C). Violent reaction with strong oxidizers. Reacts, possibly violently, with aluminum methyl, aluminum tripropyl, antimony triethyl, antimony, trimethyl, dimethylformamide, trimethyl aluminum. Incompatible with camphor, alkali metals. Attacks some plastics including PVC, polyethylene (o-isomer) rubbers including butyl, natural, neoprene, and nitrile (m- and o-isomers) and coatings.
