  1. (chemistry) A chemical reaction involving the addition of a methyl group and an aluminum moiety to a substrate, typically an alkyne or alkene, resulting in the formation of organoaluminum compounds.
    • 1983, G. Pattenden, General and Synthetic Methods (Specialist periodical reports), volume 6, Royal Society of Chemistry, page 31:
      Zirconium-catalysed methylalumination of the propargylic and homopropargylic species (111) is uniformly highly regio- and stero-selective; the resulting alanes (112) are versatile olefin synthons.
    • 2013 December 4, Armin de Meijere, Stefan Bräse, Martin Oestreich, Metal Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions and More, John Wiley & Sons, pages 3-26:
      The reaction is broad in scope with respect to R1 in the single most important case of methylalumination.
    • 2024, Guoliang Zhang, Annemie Bogaerts, Jingyun Ye, Chang-jun Liu, editors, Advances in CO2 Utilization: From Fundamentals to Applications, Springer Nature, page 262:
      The regio- and stereoselectivity of the overall reaction is determined solely by the selection of ligands in methylalumination reactions.
