17. 2(5 mg, 0.02 mmol) were added to a dry argon-flushed Schlenk tube. Organohalide (2 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at 120 °C for 3 h. Anhydrous toluene (1 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred vigorously for 5 min. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to r.t. and left for 30 min for the excess aluminium metal to settle. The light brown supernatant solution of organoaluminium sesquihalide was ready to use. Method 2: Aluminium powder (59 mg, 2.2 mmol) and Ga (14 mg, 0.2 mmol) were added to a dry argon-flushed Schlenk tube. Organohalide (2 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at 120 °C for 20 h. Anhydrous toluene (1 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred vigorously for 5 min. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to r.t. and left for 30 min for the excess aluminium metal to settle. The light brown supernatant solution of organoaluminium sesquihalide was ready to use.
