Abstract

The reactions between aluminum tertiary butoxide and acetyl chloride have been studied. The addition of 1 mole of acetyl chloride to aluminum tertiary butoxide forms monochloride ditertiary butoxide, which, with another mole of acetyl chloride, appears to give the dichloride monotertiary butoxide derivatives. Further, these products appear to react with tertiary butyl acetate formed in the reaction itself, giving acetate derivatives. The above is confirmed by a detailed study of the reactions between aluminum chloride and tertiary butyl acetate, which have been found to result in the acetate derivatives. A plausible mechanism has been suggested.
