Alkyl cobalt (III) dioximates and process for forming the same

摘要

This invention is directed to alkyl cobalt (III) dioximates and methods for making these dioximates. The alkyl cobalt (III) dioximate has the following structural formula: wherein R₁, and R₂ are individually selected from the following group: H, alkyl having at least 2 carbon atoms, substituted alkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, COOR₅, CONR₆R₇, SR₇, SO₂R₇, SO₂NR₅R₆, SOR₅, SO₃R₅, halogen, CCl₃, CF₃, COR₅, CHO, CR₆R₇OR₅, CH(OR₅)(OR₆), CR₅(OR₆)(OR₇); where R₅, R₆, and R₇ are independently selected from the following group: H, alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl or substituted aryl and A is a substituted alkyl derived from an olefinic component and B is a component of a Lewis base and where the substituents of the substituted alkyl are individually selected from the group of ester, ether, amide, halogen, ketone, hydroxy, aryl, SO₂-alkyl, sulfamido, and amino groups and the substituents for the substituted aryl are individually selected from the group of ester, ether, amide, halogen, ketone, hydroxy, alkyl, SO₂-alkyl, sulfamido, and amino groups.
