EASC catalyst for olefin industry

Description

Ethylaluminium sesquichloride, also called EASC, is an industrially important organoaluminium compound used primarily as a precursor totriethylaluminium and as a catalyst component in Ziegler-Natta type systems for olefin and diene polymerizations. Other applications include use inalkylation reactions and as a catalyst component in linear oligomerization and cyclization of unsaturated hydrocarbons.< EASC is a colourless liquid, spontaneously combustible in air and reacts violently when in contact with water and many other compounds.
