    General description

    Aluminum chloride is an alcohol-soluble lewis acid.† Aluminum chloride mixed with sodium borohydride, in diglyme in a molar ratio affords a mixture having strong reducing properties.† It was reported to promote the Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction between 4-tert-butylbenzoyl chloride and mesitylene.†

    Application

    Aluminum chloride was used for the following studies:
    • Polymerization of benzene to afford p-polyphenyl.[1]
    • As a catalyst for the Friedel-Crafts acylation of buckymetallocenes with the acid chlorides.[2]
    • As a catalyst for the colorimetric microassay for the determination of lipid hydroperoxides.[3]

    Features and Benefits

    The vapor-phase co-reductions with other metal halides by hydrogen results in finely divided intermetallics with applications as structural materials or compounds with useful thermoelectric, magnetic, and oxidation-resistance properties. Aluminum nitride can be synthesized from the elemnts with AlCl3 added to help facilitate crystallization.
