Benefits of technology

[0010]In accordance with a second aspect of the invention, there are provided lubricating oil compositions containing the novel compounds of the first aspect, which lubricating oil compositions are capable of providing excellent soot dispersing performance.

Problems solved by technology

Under such conditions, unacceptable increases in the kinematic viscosity (kv) of lubricating oil compositions have been observed, even in the presence of relatively low levels of soot (e.g., 3 mass % soot).
In the severe environment of an engine provided with a cooled EGR system, it has been found that soot induced viscosity increase, as measured in a “Mack T-11” test cannot be controlled by conventional dispersants, even when the amount of such conventional dispersants are increased.
These compounds have not been used for a number of years and, due to the high chlorine content, these compounds would be considered unsuitable for use in a modern passenger car, or heavy duty diesel motor oil formulations.

synthesis example 1

Preparation of 2-(2-naphthyloxy)ethanol by ethoxylation of 2-naphthol with ethylene carbonate

[0122]A two-liter resin kettle equipped with a mechanical stirrer, condenser / Dean-Stark trap, and inlets for nitrogen, was charged with 2-naphthol (600 g, 4.16 moles), ethylene carbonate (372 g, 4.22 moles) and the mixture was heated to 90° C. under nitrogen. Aqueous sodium hydroxide (50 wt %, 3.0 g) was added and the reaction mixture was heated slowly to 165° C. The reaction mixture was kept at 165° C. for two hours. CO2 evolved as the reaction progressed. The reaction was near completion when the evolution of CO2 ceased. The product was collected and solidified while cooling to room temperature. The completion of reaction was confirmed by GC, FT-IR and HPLC. The structure of the product was confirmed by 1H and 13C-NMR and Mass spectra (FDMS).

Preparation of poly (2-methoxy naphthalene-co-2-(2-naphthyloxy)ethanol-alt co-formaldehyde) by polymerization of 2-methoxy naphthalene and 2-(2-naphthyloxy)ethanol with formaldehyde

[0123]A two-liter resin kettle equipped with a mechanical stirrer, condenser / Dean-Stark trap, and inlets for nitrogen, was charged with 2-(2-naphthyloxy)ethanol from example 1 (131.6 g), 2-methoxy naphthalene (47.4 g), toluene (50 g), and sulfonic acid (6.0 g), and the mixture was heated to 70° C. under nitrogen. Para-formaldehyde (31.57 g) was added over 15 min at 70-80° C., and heated to 90° C. and the reaction mixture was kept at that temperature for 30 minutes to one hour. The temperature was gradually increased to 110° C. to 120° C. over two to three hours and water (75-83 ml) was removed by azeotropic distillation. The polymer was collected and solidified while cooling to room temperature. Mn was determined by GPC using polystyrene standard corrected with the elution volume of 2-(2-naphthyloxy)ethan...

Reaction Product of PIB-Succinic Anhydride and Product of Synthesis Example 2

[0124]A five-liter resin kettle equipped with mechanical stirrer, condenser / Dean-Stark trap, inlets for nitrogen, and additional funnel was charged with the products mixture from Synthesis Example 2, toluene (50-100 g) and the mixture was heated to 120° C. under nitrogen. PIB—succinic anhydride (Mn: 450 (PIB), 408 g) was added portion wise (˜25 g at 30 min intervals) and the temperature was kept at 120° C. for two hours followed by heating to 140° C. under nitrogen purge for an additional two hours to strip off all solvents to a constant weight. Base oil (AMEXOM 100 N, 332 g) was added, and the product was collected at room temperature. GPC and FT-IR confirmed the desired structure.

Abstract

Linked aromatic compounds found to act as potent soot dispersants in lubricating oil compositions; lubricating oil compositions containing such soot dispersants and precursor compounds from which the soot dispersants are derived.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to a novel class of linked aromatic compounds that act as potent soot dispersants in lubricating oil compositions and lubricating oil compositions containing same. More specifically, the invention is directed to compounds that, when added to lubricating oil compositions provide soot dispersing performance in the industry standard “Mack T11” engine test, with reduced levels of additive nitrogen. The invention is further directed to a novel class of precursor compounds from which such soot dispersants can be derived.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Global Heavy Duty Diesel (HDD) engine emission legislation requires stepwise reductions in NO and particulate emissions between 1989 and 2009. Many diesel engine manufacturers are now incorporating into HDD engines an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system that is operated in a condensing mode for at least a portion of the time the engine is operated (e.g., at least 10% of the time the engi...
