Abstract
Abstract The ethylation and methylation of the olefinic linkage in 3-buten 1-ol by incorporating the alkenol into a titanium-organoaluminum system was studied under a variety of conditions. Systems were derived from titanium tetrachloride and the organoaluminum compounds Al(C 2 H 5 ) 3 , Al(C 2 H 5 ) 2 Cl, Al(CH 3 ) 3 , and Al(CH 3 ) 2 Cl. With diethylaluminum chloride the major products obtained were 1-hexanol, 3-methyl-1-pentanol, trans -3-hexen-1-ol, and 1-butan I. Triethylaluminum gave no alkylation products. Dimethylaluminum chloride and trimethylaluminum gave product distributions similar to the analogous diethylaluminum chloride system.
