Influence of the Structural Specifics of Synthetic Oils Based on Vicinal Dicarboxylic Acid Esters on Their Thermooxidative Stability
Esters of vicinal dicarboxylic acids are synthesized. Their structural specifics are studied. The thermooxidative stability of the vicinal dicarboxylic acid esters is estimated. It is established by IR spectroscopy that the oxidation proceeds along the C-H bond of a tertiary carbon atom. The C=C bond of alkenes does not participate in the oxidation process.
