The interaction of AlR(BHT)2 and AlR2(BHT)(OEt2) (R = Me, Et) with main-group chlorides Me3SnCl, SnCl2, BCl3, AlCl3, InCl3, and ZnCl2, in pentane, Et2O, or MeCN, leads to the formation of the aluminum chloride compounds AlCl(BHT)2 (1), AlCl(BHT)2(OEt2) (2), AlClMe(BHT)(OEt2) (3), AlClEt(BHT)(OEt2) (4), AlCl2(BHT)(OEt2) (5), [Al(mu-Cl)Me(BHT)]2 (6), and AlCl(BHT)2(NCMe) (8). In contrast, the reaction of AlMe(BHT)2 with AlCl3 in CH2Cl2 results in Friedel-Crafts alkylation by "CH2Cl" at the 4-position of BHT to give the substituted cyclohexadien-1-one 7. The kinetics of this reaction have been investigated. The reaction of AlMe(BHT)2 with 2 equiv of 2,6-Me2pyHCl yields the ionic complex [2,6-Me2pyH]-[AlCl2(BHT)2] (9). The molecular structures of 5, 6, and 9 have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Crystal data for 5: monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 10.796 (2) angstrom, b = 17.753 (3) angstrom, c = 11.343 (2) angstrom, beta = 97.36 (1)-degrees Z = 4, R = 0.067, R(w) = 0.078. Crystal data for 6: monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 10.410 (6) angstrom, b = 9.865 (3) angstrom, c = 16.42 (1) angstrom, beta = 97.20 (5)-degrees, Z = 2, R = 0.069, R(w) = 0.088. Crystal data for 9: triclinic, P1BAR, a = 9.3799 (8) angstrom, b = 13.898 (1) angstrom, c = 14.8255 (14) angstrom, alpha = 101.900 (8)-degrees, beta = 91.080 (7)-degrees, gamma = 98.050 (7)-degrees, Z = 2, R = 0.050, R(w) = 0.062.
