LITHIUM tetrachloroaluminum (AlCl4Li) is an inorganic compound, which belongs to the class of aluminum chloride salts. It is a colorless crystal, has a high melting point and boiling point, and is a solid form at room temperature.
LITHIUM tetrachloroaluminum can be used as a strong and weak acid catalyst in chemical reactions and has a wide range of applications in organic synthesis. It can be used to catalyze the aryl reaction of alcohol ether, Ester addition reaction, alkylation reaction, etc. In addition, LITHIUM TETRACHLOROALUMINATE can also be used as a catalyst for reducing agents in organometallic chemistry.
The method for preparing LITHIUM tetrachloroaluminum is generally to co-melt aluminum chloride and LITHIUM chloride according to the stoichiometric ratio, react under suitable conditions, and then crystallize the product. The specific experimental operation can refer to the chemical literature or the relevant experimental manual.
Regarding safety information, LITHIUM tetrachloroaluminum is a strong corrosive substance and should be handled with caution. Appropriate personal protective equipment such as chemical goggles, gloves and protective clothing should be worn when in use. At the same time, it is necessary to operate in a well-ventilated environment. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and respiratory system. If you come into contact with this substance, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical help.
