Procedure

A mixture of 50 grams of cobalt powder, 316.2 grams (1.697 moles) of neodecanoic acid (acid number, 301), a catalyst solution prepared by dissolving 5 grams of sodium formate and 5 grams of ammonium nitrate in 30 grams of water, and 130 grams of mineral spirits was heated at 85° C. for 7 hours while it was sparged with air at the rate of 30 liters per hour. The reaction mixture was heated at 135° C. under vacuum to remove water from it, filtered, and diluted with mineral spirits. There was obtained a solution of cobalt neodecanoate in mineral spirits that contained 10% cobalt and had an acid number of 18.
