I am a network /systems administrator for a small IT firm. I have been with the company since its inception, about five years ago. The job is stressful, and the owners both greatly increase the stress with toxic attitudes and personalities. I have stayed at this job because I love the job (outside of the office) and I have developed good relationships with the clients. Now there are two new employees. These two have been falsely reporting to my boss that I have been giving them misleading instructions to fixing issues they cannot figure out for themselves. Is it legal for me to record workplace conversations without notifying coworkers?

It depends on your state.
Since you did not post your state, no one can answer the question.
In California, you would not generally be able to record these conversations.

Also, even if state law permits it, your employer is not required to allow it.

Even if it was legal it would more than likely not be usable as evidence in a civil proceeding.
