Abstract
Effect of metal chlorides on the autoxidation of methyl oleate was investigated by observing the changes in peroxide value, iodine value, saponification value and refractive index at 80°C. VCl4 and PdCl2 accelerate markedly the peroxide-decomposition, while BiCl3 and ZrCl4 showed less effect, and.AlC3 and SiCl4 showed no effect. In the addition of MoCl5, TiCl4 or WCl5 the changes in peroxide value, saponification value, acid value and refractive index wereless but decrease in the iodine value was great, and the oxidation reaction in the presence of such chloride seemed to occur by another mechanism rather than usual. SbCl5, GeCl4, InCl3 and SnCl4 inhibited the autoxidation.
