Making aluminum isopropoxide

From the creator

Aluminum isopropoxide is important to carry out Oppenauer oxidations and MPV reductions. To make the aluminum isopropoxide, I will use mercuric chloride that was made in a previous video. I will then carry out an MPV reduction using the aluminum isopropoxide to eventually make 1-octen-3-ol, something I have been working towards for a while. NOTE: Around 5 minutes, I made a mistake and wrote "hydriodic acid" instead of "hydrogen gas" Mercuric Chloride: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CPwmXnihkk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Merch - https://nilered.tv/store ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join the community: Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/nilered Discord - https://discord.com/invite/3BT6UHf NileRed Newsletter - https://nile.red/home#newsletter You can also find me here: Facebook - https://m.facebook.com/NileRed2 Instagram - https://m.instagram.com/nile.red Twitter - https://mobile.twitter.com/NileRed2 Nile talks about lab safety: https://youtu.be/ftACSEJ6DZA Assistant Editor: Chanel Brun-Soroka
