Synthesis and structure of triphenyl- and tri-meta-tolylantimony dilinoleates

Interaction in ether of triphenyl- and tri-m-tolylantimony with 9,12-octadecadienoic acid (linoleic acid) in the presence of tert-butylhydroperoxide (mole ratio 1:2:1, respectively) has led to synthesis of triphenyl- (I) and tri-m-tolylantimony (II). Their structures have been established by NMR spectroscopy. In the 1H and 13C NMR spectra the signals of methylene and methyl groups have been observed, as well as of carbon atoms peculiar to the suggested structures I and II, according to the number and values of chemical shifts.
