Abstract
This invention relates to the preparation of alkali metal aluminum dihydrocarbon dihydrides and in particular to such compounds of sodium, potssium or lithium having hydrocarbon radicals containing from 2 to about 30 carbon atoms per radical. Such dihydrocarbon materials, as typified by sodium aluminum diethyl dihydride, and by the potassium or lithium counterparts, either singly or in mixtures with respect to alkali metals and hydrocarbon groups, are soluble and useful in inert aromatic hydrocarbon solvents and have excellent mild reducing properties for various functional groups such as carbonyl groups in various organic compounds.
