Abstract

The results of 1H NMR and quantum chemical studies of hydrolysis of isobutylaluminum aryloxides are presented. According to the data of 1H NMR spectroscopy, the hydrolysis of monomeric diisobutylaluminum aryloxides (2,6-Bu2 t—C6H3O)AlBu2 i and (2,6-Bu2 t,4-Me—C6H2O)AlBu2 i occurs selectively at the Al—OAr bond to form the corresponding sterically bulky phenol and polyisobutylaluminoxane. At the molar ratios Al: H2O = 2, the formed sterically bulky phenol reacts slowly with diisobutylaluminum monoaryloxide to form isobutylaluminum diaryloxide. Dimeric aryloxide [(2-But—C6H4O)AlBu2 i]2 is not hydrolyzed under similar conditions. The quantum chemical calculations confirmed the experimental results: the hydrolysis at the Al—OAr bond has a lower energy barrier than that at the Al—C bond because of the formation of \({H_{{H_2}O}} \ldots {O_{O - Ar}}\) hydrogen bonds.
