Abstract

The autoxidation and oligomerisation of ethyl linoleate (EL) catalyzed by manganese salts in combination with several Schiff-base ligands has been studied making use of time-resolved FT-IR spectroscopy. The results indicate that several of the combinations exhibit relatively high catalytic activity for the autoxidation of EL. One of the catalyst systems was studied in more detail. The reaction between MnCl2·2H2O and the Schiff-base ligand (L4) formed by the condensation of 2-pyridinealdehyde and 2-aminopyridine has been studied to clarify the catalytic reaction process. It was found that the Schiff-base ligand L4 reacts with water and the tridentate ligand (2-pyridyl)(2-pyridylamino)methanol (HOL4) is formed. A single crystal structure of [MnIII(OL4)2]Cl·3H2O has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods.
