Abstract

O.Z. 0050/42012 Abstract of the Disclosure: Gasoline fuels contain small amounts of mono- or dialkoxylated polyisobutylamines as additives for keeping the carburetor clean, cleaning up the valve and dispersing any oil sludge.

Description

2~ 9'72 - 1 - o.Z~ 0050~42012 Motor fuels for gasoline enqines The present invention relates to gasoline engine motor fuels which contain small amounts of a mixture of a detergent and a mono- or dialkoxylated polyisobutylamine.
The carburetors and inlet systems of gasoline engines but also fuel intection systems for gasoline and diesel engines are increasingly exposed to contaminants due to dust particles from the air, unburnt hydrocarbon residues from the combu~tion chamber, and the crankshaft housing vent gases which are passed into the carburetor.
These residues alter the air-fuel ratio at idling speed and at the lower end of the load-carrying capacity so that the mixture becomes richer, the combustion become~ les~ complete and in turn the proportion of unburnt or incompletely combusted hydrocarbon~ in the exhaust gas increases, and the fuel consumption rises.
It i~ known that to avoid these disadvantages fuel additives are used for keeping valves and carbur-etors or in~ection systems clean (cf. for exampleM. Rossenbeck in Ratalysatoren, Ten~ide, Mineralol-additive, eds. J. Falbe, U. Hasserodt, pp. 223 f., G. Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart 1978).
Today there are two generations of such detergent type additive~, distinguished not only according to their mechanism of action but also according to their preferred site of action.
The first generation of detergent type additives was only able to prevent the formation of deposits in the manifold system but not able to remove existing deposits in the manifold system, whereas the modern additives of the ~econd generation are able to do both, haYing both a keep-clean and clean-up effect, and this, by virtue of improved thermal properties, in particular also in high temperature zones, especially at intake valves.
What is still unclear is what effect the fuel 2~972 - - 2 - o.z. 0050/42012 additives, which pass at a low rate but continuou~ly from the combustion chamber into the lubricant cycle of an engine, have on the lubricant.
In any rate/ such additives, once they have pas~ed into the lubricant, mu~t not have an adverse effect on its properties and functions. The effect of the fuel additives i8 therefore also taken into account in particular in respect of the formation and dispersing of the oil sludge. However, most existing detergents are neutral in respect of oil sludge.
If, therefore, a positive effect on the lubricant is to be obtained from the fuel or substances it con-tains, it is advisable also to include a dispersing substance in the motor fuel composition.
The detergent component used in a blend with the dispersant of the present invention can in principle be any known product suitable for this purpose, as described for example in J. Falbe, U. Hasserodt, Ratalysatoren, Tenside und Mineraloladditive, G. Thieme Verlag Stuttgart 1978, pp. 221 f., or in K. Owen, Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Additive~, John Wiley & Sons 1989, pp. 23 ff.
Preference is given to using polyisobutylamine~
as described in EP 0 244 616, ethylenediaminetetraacet-amides and/or -imides as de~cribed in EP 0 188 786 or polyetheramines as described in EP 0 356 725, the defini-tions in these references hereby being incorporated herein by reference. The products described therein have the additional inherent advantage of being almost chlorine- or chloride-free.
The detergents mentioned usually perform well in valve and carburetor detergency, but, as mentioned earlier, they have at most a neutral effect on an engine lubricant, ie. they do not exhibit any positive effect in respect of sludge disper~al.
It is an ob~ect of the present invention to find additive formulations which in addition to their positive effect in the intake system of a gasoline engine have a ZC~972 ' - 3 - O.Z. 0050/42012 dispersing effect on oil sludge.
We have found that this object is achieved by polyisobutylamine derivatives obtained by alkoxylation of ; polyisobutylamines.
The present invention accordingly provides gasoline fuels which in addition to (A) the detergents mentioned contain small amounts, preferably from 50 to 2000 ppm, of (B) polyi~obutylamine derivatives of the formula I
i Rl R--( CH 2 ) n~N ~ CH-CH 20H
\rR
~H--CH2 m where R $8 a polyisobutyl of molecular weight 500-5000, Rl is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, and m and n are each independently of the other zero or 1. The ratio of (A):(B) i8 in general within the range from 1:2 to 10:1.
The compounds of the formula I are prepsred by reactinq polyisobutylamines, which have preferably been obtained by hydroformylation and suboequent reductive amination of reactive polyisobutenes as described in EP A2 0 244 616, which i~ hereby expre~sly incorporated herein by reerence, with alkylene oxides in a conven-tional manner.
The polyisobutene used ha~ a molecular weight of from 500 to 5000, preferably from 800 to 1500. It i~
obtained in a known manner by cationic polymerization of isobutene, the polymer chain belng terminated by leaving in the last incorporated monomer a reactive double bond which may be utilized for the purposes of further functionallzation.
~he amine is mono- or dialkoxylated by reacting it with alkylene oxides, preferably with ethylene oxide, 2~972 - 4 ~ O.Z. 0050/42012 in a conventional manner, for example by reacting the amine in the presence of a certain proportion of water in a pressure vessel with approxLmately 1-5 times the molar amount of alkylene oxide, as described for example by S.P. McManus et al., Synth. Commun. 3 (1973), 177.
Depending on the amount of alkoxide used, monoalkoxylated or dialkoxylated amines are obtained.
We have found, surprisingly, that the alkoxyl-ation products of the formula I have not only the basic-ally known valve-cleaning effect but also a particularly positive effect on the sludge-carrying capacity of low-or no-additive engine oils, in particular when the al~ylene oxide used i8 ethylene oxide.
Suitable motor gasolines are leaded and unleaded regular and premium grades. The gasolines may also contain other components as hydrocarbons, eg. alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and tert-butanol or ethers, eg.
methyl tert-bu~yl ether. In addition to the alkoxylated polyisobutylamines to be used according to the present invention the motor fuels generally cor.tain further additives such as corrosion inhibitors, stabilizers, antioxidants and/or further detergents.
Corrosion inhibitors are usually ammonium salt~
of organic carboxylic acids which by virtue of the structure of the starting compounds tend to be film-form-ing. Amines for reducing the pH are frequently also used as corrosion inhibitorQ. The corrosion inhibitor~ for non-ferrous metals are usually heterocyclic aromatics.

Owing to the dispersing properties of the ethoxylate it i~ possible to rai~e the average rating for the individual engine parts from 8.4 to 9.4 (max. 10). By contra~t, the u~e of polyisobutylamine does not give any improvement over the base value.
