Aluminum 2-Methoxyethoxide: An Internally Coordinated Aluminum Alkoxede

Aluminum 2-methoxyethoxide was isolated and characterized by 1H, 13C and 27Al NMR. The 27Al NMR and mass spectra show that the compound is an internally coordinated dimer. This aluminum alkoxide is less susceptible to hydrolysis in comparison to other aluminum alkoxides.
