Procedure

Iron neodecanoate was prepared by a procedure based on U.S. Pat. No. 2,584,041 Example 14. 86 g (0.5 moles) of neodecanoic acid, 125 g of xylene, 25 g of water, and 12.7 g of iron powder (100 mesh) were charged to a 500 ml round bottom flask equipped with a stirrer, condenser, air inlet tube, and heating. The mixture was heated to reflux and refluxed for 7 hours, cooled and the organic phase separated from the water phase and unreacted Fe. The organic phase contained 65.2 g iron neodecanoate which on removal of the xylene by evaporation was a dark amber viscous liquid, with viscosity 10,000 cps.
