preparation example Construction

[0066] The preparation of the formulations described in the previous sections is typically carried out by mixing the relevant components in ratios which result in formulations with specified properties. In order to further refine or calibrate the properties of a particular formulation, one or more additional additives may be introduced into the formulation.

[0067] In some embodiments, in preparing the diester for the ester component, a mixture of isomers of the diester is used. In such embodiments, isomeric mixtures can be prepared by synthetic routes employing isomeric precursors (eg, Examples 1 and 2, infra). In some or other embodiments, multi-grade engine oil formulations are prepared by mixing respective homologous ester mixtures.

[0068] Economic considerations are often important in the preparation of such above-mentioned multi-grade engine oil formulations. In some embodiments, the overall economics of preparation of such formulations (or components thereof) can b...

Embodiment 1

[0078] This example serves to illustrate the synthesis of diols, and thus diester materials suitable for use as / for the diester component, according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0079] In a 3-liter 3-neck reaction flask equipped with an overhead stirrer and placed in an ice bath, 260 g of 30% hydrogen peroxide (2.3 mol H 2 o 2 ) was added to 650 g of 88 wt.% formic acid (12.4 mol). To this mixture was slowly added 392 grams (2 mol) of a mixture of tetradecene isomers (i.e. a mixture of: 1-tetradecene, 2-tetradecene, 3-tetradecene, tetradecene, 4-tetradecene, 5-tetradecene, 6-tetradecene and 7-tetradecene) while ensuring that the reaction temperature is kept sufficiently below 45°C. Once the olefin addition was complete, the reaction was stirred while cooling in an ice bath for 2 hours to prevent the temperature from rising above 40-45°C. The ice bath was then removed and the reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was con...

Embodiment 2

[0081] This example is used to illustrate the synthesis of diesters from the diols prepared in Example 1 according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0082] In a 1-liter 3-necked reaction flask equipped with an overhead stirrer, reflux condenser, and dropping funnel, 440 g (0.95 mol) of tetradecane-diol mixture (prepared as above), 1148 g (5.7 mol) of lauryl acid and 17.5 grams of 85wt.% H 3 PO 4 (0.15 mol) mixed. The resulting mixture was heated to 150°C and stirred for several hours, while the progress of the reaction was monitored by NMR spectroscopy and GC / MS analysis. After stirring for 6 hours, the reaction was complete and the mixture was cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was washed with 1000 mL of water and the organic layer was separated using a separatory funnel. The organic layer was further washed with brine solution (1000 mL saturated sodium chloride solution). The resulting mixture was then distilled at 220°C and 100 mmHg (Torr) t...

Abstract

The present invention is generally directed to the present invention provides for multi-grade engine oil formulations comprising a diester component, wherein the diester component comprises vicinal diester species, and wherein at least a portion of said diester component is bio-derived. Many such formulations of the present invention are expected to favorably compete with similar, existing formulations comprising synthetic esters, but such formulations are generally expected to meet or exceed such existing formulations in a number of areas including, but not limited to, economics, biodegradability, and / or toxicity.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to lubricant formulations, and in particular to multigrade engine oils comprising a diester component - in particular wherein the diester component is at least partially derived from a biomass precursor. Background technique [0002] Esters have long been used as lubricating oils. In fact, esters were the first synthetic crankcase oils in automotive applications. Today, they are used in a variety of lubrication applications from jet engines to refrigeration. [0003] In general, ester-based lubricants have excellent lubricity due to the polarity of the ester molecules they contain. The polar ester groups of these molecules attach to positively charged metal surfaces creating a protective film which reduces wear and breakage of the metal surface. Such lubricants are less volatile than conventional lubricants and tend to have a much higher flash point and a much lower vapor pressure. Ester-based lubricants are excelle...
