Properties of the aluminum oxyhydroxide formed by the reaction of methyl acetate on solutions of sodium aluminate are examined. The solid has a high specific surface and gives an X‐ray diffraction pattern different from those of other known oxyhydroxides. A quite different product (coarse bayerite) is obtained when esters which cannot have an enolic form are used. A possible formation mechanism of the oxyhydroxide is discussed.
