Abstrakt: We present an efficient route to tetramethylalumoxane by the controlled hydrolysis of AlMe3 in the presence of pyridine. The AlMe3(pyr) hydrolysis by 0.5 and 1 equiv. of H2O has been followed with real-time 1H NMR. Based on high-level quantum-chemical calculations, we conclude that hypervalent, pentacoordinate aluminium species are critical in the first steps of hydrolysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
