Abstract

Results Preparation of 1-Acenaphthenyldiisobutyl-aluminum (4). Hydralumination of acenaphthylene (8) with diisobutylaluminum hydride (9) in heptane at 80" C gave essentially a quantitative yield of 4. By use of ethereal media, diisobutylaluminum deuteride could be added to 8 and other cyclic olefins1 under conditions where the initial syn adduct 10 was stable to isomerization (eq 4).
