[2] Aluminium triethoxide is slightly soluble in hot dimethyl benzene, chlorobenzene and other high boiling point non-polar solvents.

A Aluminium triethoxide is used as a reducing agent for aldehydes and ketones, and is also used as a polymerization catalyst.

At the same time, it is used as a reducing reagent, for example, carbonyl compounds that restore to alcohol.

The aluminium is often activated with iodine or by amalgamation to accelerate the reaction.

[6][2] Aluminium triethoxide has been evaluated as a catalyst for the synthesis of esters and carbonates.
