Method for the preparation of higher antimony tricarboxylates

摘要

Antimony tricarboxylates of higher carboxylic acids can be prepared by (a) reacting antimony oxide with an anhydride of a lower organic acid, (b) reacting the product from (a) with at least one higher carboxylic acid at a temperature sufficient to vaporize volatile material and removing said volatile material, and (c) recovering the antimony tricarboxylate of said higher carboxylic acid.
