Abstract
Abstract A process for the preparation of hydrocarbylalumoxanes comprising oligomeric, linear and/or cyclic hydrocarbylalumoxanes which comprise contacting a hydrocarbylaluminum dissolved in an inert dry organic liquid with a trihydrocarbylboroxine. Preferably, the trihydrocarbylboroxine is prepared by the reaction of boron oxide with trihydrocarbylborane.
