Abstract: The disclosure notably relates to a computer-implemented method for comparing a first 3D modeled object and a second 3D modeled object. The method comprises upon manipulation of a user-interaction tool that controls at least one non-uniform variation of the rendering of both the first 3D modeled object and the second 3D modeled object, updating the displaying of the first 3D object and the second 3D object. The user-interaction tool is configured to be manipulated via a predetermined set of at least one action, a repetition of each respective action of the set controlling a respective non-uniform variation of the rendering of both the first 3D modeled object and the second 3D modeled object. Such a method improves the comparison of a first 3D modeled object and a second 3D modeled object that each represent a part or an assembly of parts.

Abstract: A process of preparing methylaluminium dichloride by (i) reacting by heating a material of the formula R3Al2X3, where R is C1-C4 alkyl and X is selected from bromine and iodine with an aluminium-containing material selected from metallic aluminium and a mixture of metallic aluminium and aluminium trichloride in an atmosphere of methyl chloride, with the proviso that when R is methyl and X is iodine, the aluminium-containing material is a mixture of aluminium and aluminium trichloride; and (ii) when the aluminium-containing material is metallic aluminium, adding aluminium trichloride to this reaction mixture and heating, to give a crude reaction product; and (iii) if desired, obtaining methylaluminium dichloride from this crude reaction product. The crude reaction product may be used directly in organic syntheses, such as the cyclisation of ?-Georgywood to give ?-Georgywood.
