- the alkyl groups are selected to give the benzotriazole derivative sufficient oil solubility to be incorporated into the lubricant in an effective amount e.g. C 6 -C 12 alkyl. Typical of such compounds is Reomet 38 marketed by Ciba Geigy Co.
- the term "metal deactivator" as used in the specification and claims means a compound which when added to a lubricant will neutralize the catalytic effect of metals e.g. copper in promoting oxidation.
- the various components of the antioxidant system which may be added in any order are used in the following amounts.
- the antioxidant of this invention is used in amounts varying from about 0.5 to about 5.0 parts by weight per 100 parts of the oil, preferably, about 1.0 to about 4.0 parts; more preferably 2.0 to 2.5 parts.

- This example shows the unexpected ability of the antioxidant of the present invention to protect polyester based lubricating oils against oxidative degradation.
- the oil used was a commercially available polyolester fluid, Hercolube A (marketed by Hercules Inc.) and believed to be one prepared from pentaerythritol and a mixture of monocarboxylic acids, e.g., valeric acid and pelargonic acid.
- the neutralization number was determined by the color-indicator titration method according to ASTM Procedure D974-55T.
- the Kinematic Viscosity was determined according to ASTM Procedure D445-53T.
- the metal washers which were weighed initially, were then carefully washed and weighed again to determine the weight change in grams.
- Sample C wherein the test was conducted in the presence of copper, was slightly more deteroriated than Sample B, where no copper was present.
- This example demonstrates the effect of the addition of and changes in the levels of a metal deactivator such as Reomet-38, a benzotriazole derivative marketed by Ciba Geigy Co., on the stabilization of a polyolester based lubricating oil while the level of N-(alpha-methylbenzyl)aniline and copper are maintained constant.
- a metal deactivator such as Reomet-38, a benzotriazole derivative marketed by Ciba Geigy Co.
- Table III shows that a stabilizer system containing N-(alpha-methylbenzyl)aniline and Reomet-38 is ineffective in the absence of copper (Sample A, Table III) in decreasing the amounts of sludge, maintaining low viscosity, low neutralization number, and protecting the metal washers from oxidation. In the absence of copper, Reomet 38 functions as a pro-degradant.
- the data in Table III further shows that increasing amounts of copper above 10 ppm causes the stabilizer system to exhibit a decrease in its efficiency in controlling oxidative breakdown.

- Sample I-B amine but no copper
- Sample I-C amine and copper

- the samples were prepared as in EXAMPLE I, using the amounts of ingredients shown in Table V.
- This example demonstrates how various substituted N-benzylanilines effect the stabilization of a polyolester based oil while maintaining a constant Reomet-38 level in the presence of a constant amount of copper metal.
- N-benzylanilines were prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of the corresponding Schiffs bases. Five percent Pd/C was used as the catalyst and ethanol was used as the solvent for hydrogenating the Schiff's bases.
- Schiff's bases were prepared by the reaction of the appropriate ketones and anilines in the presence of molecular sieves. About 40 grams of molecular sieves (Linde 5A) were added to 1.0 mole of ketone and 1.0 to 1.2 moles of aromatic amine in 200 ml. of benzene; see Kazuo Taguchi and F. H. Westheimer, J. ORG. CHEM. 36, 1570 (1971).
- the reaction mixture was refluxed with continuous removal of water until almost no free ketone could be detected in the reaction mixture by I.R. spectroscopy.
- the mixture was then filtered and the molecular sieves washed with benzene. The filtrate and washings were combined and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure.
- the crude product was purified by either crystallization or by vacuum distillation.
- a preferred embodiment of this invention involves alkylation in the benzyl ring and/or the aniline ring of the parent alpha-methyl benzyl aniline. This is beneficial in that it results in decreased volatility of the parent compound.
- R 2 can be H, or a C 1 to C 12 alkyl group and R 1 can be H or a C 4 to C 12 alkyl group; provided that R 1 and R 2 are not simultaneously both hydrogen.

- R 1 can be an alkyl group, preferably in the para-position or a tertiary alkyl group such as those derived from isobutylene, isobutylene dimer, isobutylene trimer, propylene trimer, alpha-methyl styrene and the like.
- This example shows how phenylated-alpha-tetralylamine affects the stabilization of a polyolester based lubricating oil.
- Table VIII shows that the addition of phenylated-alpha-tetralylamine, a metal deactivator and copper or a copper salt to a polyloester lubricating oil such as Hercolube A stabilizes the said oil against oxidative breakdown.
- Example II.E To 100 parts of polydecene synthetic hydrocarbon oil is added 2.0 parts of N-(alpha- methylbenzyl)aniline and 0.5 parts Reomet 38 as in Example II.E.

- The preferred salts include naphthenates, stearates, acetylacetonates, octoates, decanoates etc.
- The metal deactivators useful in the practice of this invention are benzotriazole and benzotriazole derivatives. The benzotriazole derivative can be alkyl substituted or dialkyl amino alkyl substituted; preferably dialkyl amino alkyl substituted. Substitution is on the seconday nitrogen of the triangle. The alkyl group can be a C1 to C20 alkyl and each alkyl may be the same or different than the others. Preferably the alkyl groups are selected to give the benzotriazole derivative sufficient oil solubility to be incorporated into the lubricant in an effective amount e.g. C6-C12 alkyl. Typical of such compounds is Reomet 38 marketed by Ciba Geigy Co. The term "metal deactivator" as used in the specification and claims means a compound which when added to a lubricant will neutralize the catalytic effect of metals e.g. copper in promoting oxidation.
- The various components of the antioxidant system which may be added in any order are used in the following amounts. The antioxidant of this invention is used in amounts varying from about 0.5 to about 5.0 parts by weight per 100 parts of the oil, preferably, about 1.0 to about 4.0 parts; more preferably 2.0 to 2.5 parts. The metal deactivators can be used in amounts of about 0.05 to about 1.0 part by weight per 100 parts of the oil, preferably, 0.1 to 0.3 part. Metal or metal salts are used in the amounts of about 1 to about 25 parts of metal by weight per million parts of the oil; preferably 2 to 10 parts. The preferred metal is copper.
- The criteria used herein to evaluate the effectiveness of an antioxidant for lubricating oils are:
- 1) the amount of sludge produced,
- 2) the change in initial viscosity,
- 3) the change in neutralization number; and
- 4) the weight change of the test metals.
- These criteria are determined after the oil containing the antioxidant system of this invention has been aged for 72 hours at 188°C (370°F) or after the oil containing the antioxidant system has been aged for 48 hours at 218°C (425°F).
- The benefits of the antioxidants and stabilizers of this invention may be more readily appreciated by reference to the following examples. The term "polyester" as used in the specification and claims means a polyester prepared from a polyol by reacting the polyol with a stoichiometric equivalent of mono basic acids.
- This example shows the unexpected ability of the antioxidant of the present invention to protect polyester based lubricating oils against oxidative degradation. The oil used was a commercially available polyolester fluid, Hercolube A (marketed by Hercules Inc.) and believed to be one prepared from pentaerythritol and a mixture of monocarboxylic acids, e.g., valeric acid and pelargonic acid.
- Experiments were carried out in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the antioxidant. The oil sample used in runs B and C was prepared by adding N-(alpha-methylbenzyl) aniline in the amount set forth in Table I to 100 grams of the polyolester based oil. Sample D was similarly prepared containing phenyl alpha-naphthylamine, a commercially available stabilizer. The amounts used in each case are set forth in Table I.
- Each of the samples was tested according to the following test procedures:
- A 100 ml. sample having the compositions set forth in Table I is poured into a pyrex glass test cell and aged by inserting one end of a glass air delivery tube into the test cell while the remaining 25 ml. portions of each original oil sample is set aside and analyzed for neutralization number and Kinematic Viscosity in 10-s m2.s ' (centistokes) at 37.8°C (100°F). Around this glass air delivery tube immersed in the oil was placed from zero to four metal washers (Mg, Cu, Ag, and Fe) as identified in Table I. When more than one washer was used, they were separated from each other by glass spacers. These remained in the oil during the aging process and served to indicate the extent of corrosion of the oil oxidative decomposition products on the metal. The test cell was then fitted with a reflux condenser. The assembly was placed in a constant temperature aluminium block. An air hose was then attached to the other end of the air delivery tube and the air flow was adjusted so that five liters of air per hour was bubbled through the oil. This aging test was carried out for 48 hours at 218°C (425°F). After aging, the oil was filtered hot and the amount of sludge developed was collected and was determined and recorded in milligrams per 100 ml. of the oil. The filtered oil was then analyzed to determine changes in neutralization number and-Kinematic Viscosity at 37.8°C (100°F).
- The neutralization number was determined by the color-indicator titration method according to ASTM Procedure D974-55T.
- The Kinematic Viscosity was determined according to ASTM Procedure D445-53T.
- The metal washers, which were weighed initially, were then carefully washed and weighed again to determine the weight change in grams.
- The data in Table I dramatically show that when an amine such as N-(alpha-1 methylbenzyl aniline is added to a polyolester based lubricating oil the aged properties of oil Samples B and C are excellent as noted by very little change in the viscosity or neutralization number, very low sludge and essentially no weight change in the metals. The amine antioxidant clearly provides better all around protection than.a commercially available stabilizer (Sample D).
-
- This example demonstrates the effect of the addition of and changes in the levels of a metal deactivator such as Reomet-38, a benzotriazole derivative marketed by Ciba Geigy Co., on the stabilization of a polyolester based lubricating oil while the level of N-(alpha-methylbenzyl)aniline and copper are maintained constant. The samples were prepared as in EXAMPLE I.
- The data in Table II shows that the addition of Reomet-38 at the levels tested is effective in controlling viscosity change, neutralization number change and sludge formation. The data further demonstrates that the addition of Reomet-38 dramatically controls the weight loss of the copper washer.
-
- This example dramatically demonstrates that Reomet-38 cannot be included in the stabilizing system without incorporating copper either in the form of a soluble salt or in the form of a metal strip, washer, wire, etc. This example further shows how changes in the level of copper while maintaining constant N-(alpha-methylbenzyl)aniline and Reomet-38 levels effects stabilization. The samples were prepared as in EXAMPLE 1.
- The data in Table III shows that a stabilizer system containing N-(alpha-methylbenzyl)aniline and Reomet-38 is ineffective in the absence of copper (Sample A, Table III) in decreasing the amounts of sludge, maintaining low viscosity, low neutralization number, and protecting the metal washers from oxidation. In the absence of copper, Reomet 38 functions as a pro-degradant. The data in Table III further shows that increasing amounts of copper above 10 ppm causes the stabilizer system to exhibit a decrease in its efficiency in controlling oxidative breakdown.
- This example utilises data presented in Examples I, II and III to demonstrate the essence of the instant invention. See Table IV.
- Clearly Sample II-D illustrates that when the amine, a metal deactivator and copper are present, the greatest protection is afforded to the oil. Sample I-B (amine but no copper), Sample I-C (amine and copper) and most dramatically Sample III-A (amine and metal deactivator but no copper) all show decreased protection when compared with II-D where all three components of the instant invention are present in the system.
- This example demonstrates how the stabilization of a polyolester based lubricating oil is affected by changes in the level of N-(a/pha-methylbenzyl)aniline while maintaining constant Reomet-38 level in the presence of a constant amount of copper metal. The samples were prepared as in EXAMPLE I, using the amounts of ingredients shown in Table V.
- The data in Table V show that when a level of about 2.0 to 3.0 parts of N-(alpha- methylbenzyl)aniline was used together with 0.2 part of Reomet-38, a polyolester based lubricating oil is effectively stabilized. The preferred level of N-(alpha-methylbenzyl)aniline is shown to be from 2.0 to 2.5 parts.
-
- This example demonstrates how various substituted N-benzylanilines effect the stabilization of a polyolester based oil while maintaining a constant Reomet-38 level in the presence of a constant amount of copper metal.
- Substituted N-benzylanilines were prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of the corresponding Schiffs bases. Five percent Pd/C was used as the catalyst and ethanol was used as the solvent for hydrogenating the Schiff's bases. Schiff's bases, in turn, were prepared by the reaction of the appropriate ketones and anilines in the presence of molecular sieves. About 40 grams of molecular sieves (Linde 5A) were added to 1.0 mole of ketone and 1.0 to 1.2 moles of aromatic amine in 200 ml. of benzene; see Kazuo Taguchi and F. H. Westheimer, J. ORG. CHEM. 36, 1570 (1971). The reaction mixture was refluxed with continuous removal of water until almost no free ketone could be detected in the reaction mixture by I.R. spectroscopy. The mixture was then filtered and the molecular sieves washed with benzene. The filtrate and washings were combined and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by either crystallization or by vacuum distillation.
- The samples were prepared and tested as in EXAMPLE I using the amounts of ingredients as shown in Table VI.
- The data in Table VI clearly show that substituted benzylanilines of this invention stabilize polyester based lubricating oils with respect to oxidative breakdown.
-
- A preferred embodiment of this invention involves alkylation in the benzyl ring and/or the aniline ring of the parent alpha-methyl benzyl aniline. This is beneficial in that it results in decreased volatility of the parent compound. Thus, such compounds as
- This example shows how phenylated-alpha-tetralylamine affects the stabilization of a polyolester based lubricating oil.
- The phenylated-alpha-tetralylamines were prepared according to the procedure described in EXAMPLE VI.
- The samples were prepared as in Example I using the amounts of ingredients as shown in Table VIII.
