Alkoxide Market: Introduction In terms of value, the global alkoxide market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of ~6% from 2020 to 2030. Alkoxide is primarily used in pharmaceutical, buil…
Crystals of freshly prepared aluminium-isopropoxide.
Aluminium-isopropoxide is an alkoxide what means it is the conjugate base of isopropanol. While it reacts with water, aluminium-oxide and isopropanol will form. It was made by the reaction between isopropyl alcohol and aluminium metal:
2 Al + 6 iPrOH → 2 Al(O-i-Pr)3 + 3 H2
The plan is, that I will use this thing for an Oppenauer oxidation what uses acetone and aluminium-isopropoxide as an oxidant:
An advantage of the Oppenauer oxidation is its use of relatively inexpensive and non-toxic reagents. Reaction conditions are mild and gentle since the substrates are generally heated in acetone/benzene mixtures. In my case I used acetone/toluene, since the aluminium-isopropoxide is not really soluble in acetone, and benzene has an unpleasant odor.

Today, I realized that I hadn't truly lived a full life until my ochem professor told us a bedtime story featuring a monstrous alkoxide and a helpless hemiacetal.
