Overview of Aluminium Isopropoxide
Aluminium Isopropoxide is a white to pale-yellow crystalline compound widely used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, especially in the preparation of esters and in the Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley (MPV) reduction. Known for its high purity, thermal stability, and reactivity, it is a key intermediate in fine chemical, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.
In industrial applications, Aluminium Isopropoxide is valued for its consistent particle size, chemical stability, and compatibility with other formulation components. It is often used alongside Titanium Isopropoxide, Zinc Isopropoxide, and Aluminium Acetate, Hexafluorophosphoric Acid available on ChemicalBull, providing reliable solutions for catalytic reactions and specialty chemical formulations.
