Abstract We report an optimized synthesis of aluminum n-hexyloxide (AH), aluminum phenoxide (APh) and aluminum isopropoxide (AIP) with high yields. Aluminum alkoxides, among other applications, are important starting materials to produce high surface area alumina catalyst supports for catalytic applications, such as hydrocracking and supported Fischer–Tropsch catalysts (FT). One mole of aluminum was reacted with excess alcohol in ...
