Pv. Ramachandran et al., An improved vinylalumination procedure replacing HMPA with NMO for the hydroalumination of alpha-acetylenic esters and ketones, CHEM COMMUN, (19), 1999, pp. 1979-1980
Replacing carcinogenic HMPA with NMO, a higher yielding, enviornmentally be
nign procedure for the vinylalumination of carbonyl compounds with [alpha-(
ethoxycarbonyl)- vinyl]diisobutylaluminium and its beta-methyl or -phenyl a
nalogs, as well as [alpha-(acetyl)vinyl]diisobutylaluminium has been develo
ped.
