In order to get reliable information about the yield of organoaluminum compounds formed in a transition metal-catalyzed hydroalumination reaction it is essential to derivatize the organometallic products by quenching the reaction mixture with electrophiles like D2O, O2 or halogens. It is often observed that hydrogenation... 

Early attempts by Asinger to enlarge the scope of hydroalumination by the use of transition metal catalysts included the conversion of mixtures of isomeric linear alkenes into linear alcohols by hydroalumination with BU3AI or BU2AIH at temperatures as high as 110°C and subsequent oxidation of the formed organoaluminum compounds [12]. Simple transition metal salts were used as catalysts, including tita-nium(IV) and zirconium(IV) chlorides and oxochlorides. The role of the transition metal in these reactions is likely limited to the isomerization of internal alkenes to terminal ones since no catalyst is required for the hydroalumination of a terminal alkene under these reaction conditions. 

The asymmetric nickel-catalyzed hydroalumination of prochiral terminal alkenes using adducts of BujAl and chiral amines was reported in 1981 [74], Among the different amines investigated, (-)-N,N-dimethylmenthylamine (DMMA) gave the best enantioselectivities. For example, reaction of 2,3,3-trimethyl-l-butene (39) at room temperature with 0.33 equiv. of the DMMA/iBu3Al adduct in the presence of 0.6 mol% of Ni(mesal)2 gave, after oxidation of the intermediate organoaluminum compounds, 2,3,3-trimethyl-l-butanol 40 in 76% yield and 27% ee (Scheme 2-19). 

The regiochemistry of Al-H addition to unsymmetrically substituted alkynes can be significantly altered by the presence of a catalyst. This was first shown by Eisch and Foxton in the nickel-catalyzed hydroalumination of several disubstituted acetylenes [26, 32]. For example, the product of the uncatalyzed reaction of 1-phenyl-propyne (75) with BujAlH was exclusively ds-[3-methylstyrene (76). Quenching the intermediate organoaluminum compounds with DjO revealed a regioselectivity of 82 18. In the nickel-catalyzed reaction, cis-P-methylstyrene was also the major product (66%), but it was accompanied by 22% of n-propylbenzene (78) and 6% of (E,E)-2,3-dimethyl-l,4-diphenyl-l,3-butadiene (77). The selectivity of Al-H addition was again studied by deuterolytic workup a ratio of 76a 76b = 56 44 was found in this case. Hydroalumination of other unsymmetrical alkynes also showed a decrease in the regioselectivity in the presence of a nickel catalyst (Scheme 2-22).

As mentioned above, the new method Lewis acid promoted living polymerization of methacrylic esters, by using enolatealuminum porphyrin (2) as nucleophilic initiator in conjunction with organoaluminum compounds, such as methylaluminum bis(2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenolate) (3e), as Lewis acids has enabled us to synthesize poly(methacrylic ester) of narrow molecular-weight distribution [51]. On the other hand, some reactions of aluminum por-... 

Organoaluminum compounds couple very well with tertiary (to give products containing a quaternary carbon) and benzylic halides at -78°C.1301 This reaction can also be applied to allylic, secondary, and some primary halides, but several days standing at room temperature is required (see also 0-90). Products containing a quaternary carbon can also be...
