Abstract
The effects of catalysts and reactive conditions on the synthesis of aluminum alkoxides are investigated. HgCl2 and I2 as catalysts are used in the synthesis reaction for comparing to no addtion. The absorption peak in IR spectra according to Al-O-L bond of aluminum isopropoxide and aluminum sec-butoxide appear at near 1030cm-1 and 1060cm-1 respectively regardless of kinds of catalysts. The synthesis yield of alu-minum-isopropoxide was 90% in case of no catalyst addition and increased to all of 95% by addition of HgCl2 and I2 The synthesis yield of aluminum sec-butoxide is increased to 95% by addition of I2 catalyst com-paring to no addition.
