Abstract
Strong evidence has been adduced for the existence of mono- and di-soaps of aluminium by preparative methods. Mono-and di-isopropoxy laurates and stearates of aluminium have been prepared by metathetic reactions between aluminium isopropoxide and the calculated amount of the corresponding fatty acid. The isopropoxy-laurates, on treatment with acetyl chloride, have been shown to yield mono- and di-chloride laurates. All these soaps give solutions of low viscosity in benzene. When the di-isopropoxy stearate was treated with acetic anhydride, the isopropoxy as well as the stearate groups were replaced by acetoxy radicals and thus no pure acetoxy-soap could be isolated.
