The kinetics of the addition reactions of aluminium triethyl with several linear, branched and cyclic alkenes have been re-studied, using dilatometry and g.l.c. product analysis. The concentration dependence of rate is consistent with the monomeric form of aluminium triethyl alone being reactive. The Arrhenius parameters are analyzed in terms of four-centre transition states for the addition reactions.
