Aluminum alkoxide is a widely used basic metal organic chemical raw material, widely used in organic synthesis intermediates and organic synthesis industries such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides. Among them, the market demand for isopropanol aluminum and secondary butanol aluminum is particularly evident. Next, let's enter isopropanol aluminum.


1. What is aluminum isopropoxide?

Aluminum isopropoxide, also known as isopropyl aluminum oxide, is abbreviated as AIP. When first produced, it is a colorless viscous liquid that condenses into a solid state within 5-10 days. Aluminum isopropoxide on the market is mostly in powder and block form, soluble in organic solvents such as isopropanol, ethanol, toluene, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, etc. (easily soluble when heated to above 70 ℃), and decomposes when it comes into contact with water. It has strong water absorption and is easily decomposed into aluminum hydroxide and isopropanol.


Chemical formula of aluminum isopropoxide: C9H21AlO3


Molecular weight of aluminum isopropoxide: 204.24


2. Production process of aluminum isopropoxide

Taking the production process of Yangzhou Zhongtianli New Materials Co., Ltd. as an example, the production process of 3N+isopropanol aluminum is as follows:


After throwing 3N aluminum ingots into aluminum sheets, the aluminum sheets are mixed with isopropanol aluminum in a mass ratio of 1:6 for reaction, and the reaction is complete. After distillation and purification, the material is discharged. Obtain aluminum isopropoxide with a purity of about 99.95%.


3. Application field of aluminum isopropoxide

A. Used as a reducing agent and strong dehydrating agent.


B. Raw materials used as dehydrating agents, catalysts, and waterproofing agents


C. Pharmaceutical intermediates, organic catalytic reactions. Hormone based pharmaceutical intermediates such as testosterone, isophytol, progesterone, and Wobbe's oxide, as well as raw materials for aluminate coupling agents, are also used as active catalysts and carriers, as well as inorganic membranes.


4. Hydrolysis of aluminum isopropoxide

Hydrolysis of aluminum isopropoxide is one of the process methods for producing pseudo boehmite. Aluminum isopropoxide is hydrolyzed to obtain pseudo boehmite and isopropanol (isopropanol can be recycled). High purity pseudo boehmite can be obtained by one distillation of pseudo boehmite.


High purity pseudo boehmite can be calcined to obtain high-purity aluminum oxide, which is a formal process route for preparing aluminum oxide by alkoxide hydrolysis method.


5. Is aluminum isopropoxide a hazardous material?

At present, aluminum isopropoxide is not classified as a hazardous chemical in the hazardous chemical manual, but due to its flammability, hazardous chemical vehicles are still needed during transportation.




Yangzhou Zhongtianli is a high-tech enterprise that focuses on the research and production of high-purity materials. Its main product, high-purity alumina, is obtained by the hydrolysis method of alkoxide, and isopropanol aluminum is an intermediate product in this process. The purity of aluminum isopropoxide produced by this process can reach 99.99%. At the same time, micro customization can be carried out according to customer needs.
