At 60-80°C the title compound methylates a variety of mono- and diketones. Aromatic aldehydes undergo simple methylation by the reagent only after initial treatment with an equivalent amount of AlCl3. Upon reaction of Me2Al(CH2)3NMe2 with terminal acetylenes the aluminum complex is converted into a carbonyl-alkynylation reagent.
在60-80°C,标题化合物对多种单酮和二酮进行甲基化。芳香醛仅在最初用等量的
AlCl3处理后,才通过该试剂进行简单甲基化。当Me2Al(
CH2)3NMe2与末端
炔烃反应时,铝络合物被转化成一种羰基-炔化试剂。
