Diethylaluminum ethoxide (1586-92-1)

 Ethoxy diethyl aluminum with CAS registry number of 1586-92-1 is also known as Aluminum,ethoxydiethyl- ; Dlethylaluminumethoxide ; Ethoxydiethyl-aluminu ; Ethoxydiethyl-aluminum ; Diethylaluminium ethoxide ; Diethylaluminum ethoxide ; Ethoxydiethylaluminium ; Diethylaluminum ethoxide,25 WT.% (1.6M )solution in toluene . It is an organometallic reagent with the appearance of colorless clear liquid. Ethoxy diethyl aluminum is used primarily as a catalyst component in
Ziegler-Natta type systems for olefin polymerizations. The pyrophoric nature of Ethoxy diethyl aluminum presents potential hazards not common to most liquid chemicals used by industry in tank truck quantities. Ethoxy diethyl aluminum, being pyrophoric, breaks into flame spontaneously and gives off dense smoke when exposed to air. It reacts violently with water.  So this compoud must be kept away from water, acids, sparks, flames, and sources of ignition.
