Preparation of aluminum trialkyl compounds

Claim 1

A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF TRIALKYL ALUMINUM COMPOUNDS WHEREIN THE ALKYL RADICALS ARE PREDOMINANTLY PRIMARLY ALKYL RADICALS AND HAVE 6 TO 30 CARBON ATOMS PER ALKYL RADICAL WHICH COMPRISES REACTING AN OLEFIN HAVING THE FORMULA R-CH=C(-R1)-R2 WHEREIN R AND R1 ARE ALKYL RADICAL AND R2 IS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF HYDROGEN AND AN ALKYL RADICAL AND THE SUM OF THE CARBON ATOMS IN R, R1 R2 IS BETWEEN 4 TO 28 WITH AN ALUMINUM ALKYL HAVING A FORMULA SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF AL(-CH2-CH(-R5)-R6)2 AND H-AL(-CH2-CH(-R5)-R6)2 WHEREIN EACH OF R5 AND R6 REPRESENTS A MEMBER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF HYDROGEN AND ALKYL RADICALS AND WHEREIN R5 AND R6 TOGETHER WITH THE >CHTO WHICH THEY ARE CONNECTED MAY ALSO REPRESENT A CYCLOALKYL RADICAL, THE SUM OF THE CARBON ATOMS IN R5 AND R6 BEING BETWEEN 0 TO 6 AT TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 100 AND 150*C. WHILE REMOVING OLEFINS HAVING THE FORMULA CH2=C(-R5)-R6 WHEREIN R5 AND R6 HAVE THE ABOVE DEFINITIONS TO FORM AN ALUMINUM HYDRIDE OF THE FORMULA H-AL(-CH(-R)-CH(-R1)-R2)2 WHEREIN R, R1 AND R2 HAVING THE ABOVE DEVISIONS, ISOMERIZING THE SAID HYDRIDE BY HEATING AT TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 150 TO 250*C. IN THE PRESENCE OF MORE THAN EQUIMOLAR AMOUNTS OF AN OLEFIN HAVING 6 TO 30 CARBON ATOMS TO FROM TRIALKYL ALUMINUM COMPOUNDS WHEREIN THE ALKYL RADICALS ARE PREDOMINANTLY PRIMARY ALKYL RADICALS WITH 6 TO 30 CARBON ATOMS PER ALKYL RADICAL AND RECOVERING THE SAID TRIALKYL ALUMINUM COMPOUNDS.
