The synthesis of some intermediates for use in the preparation of analogs of salicylaldehyde ethylenediimine cobalt (salcomine)

Abstract

As part of a study having for its object the examination of the oxygen-carrying properties of chelate compounds of the type exemplified by salicylaldehyde ethylenediimine cobalt ("Salcomine") (I) a large number of substances were prepared and tested in an effort to determine the structural requirements for activity and to discover chelates with oxygen-carrying properties superior to those of I. Among the practical improvements sought were (a) greater stability than Salcomine in repeated passage through the cycle of oxygenation and deoxygenation; (b) greater oxygen capacity (over the capacity of one atom of oxygen per mole of chelate possessed by Salcomine); and (e) increased rates of oxygenation and deoxygenation under conveniently attainable temperature and pressure conditions.
