Procedure
Chromium (II) bis(2-ethylhexanoate) is prepared by the addition of an equimolar mixture of triethylamine and 2-ethylhexanoic acid in heptane to a suspension of 0.5 mole anhydrous chromium (II) chloride in heptane. A slow reaction results in the formation of a deep purple solution and the precipitation of triethylammonium hydrochloride. The product is isolated as a purple oil after removal of the precipitate by filtration and the volatiles under vacuum.
