Definitions

• the invention relates to synthetic lubricant base stocks, and more particularly to synthetic lubricant base stocks having a good viscosity. Some of these also exhibit a low pour point.
• Synthetic lubricants prepared from man-made base stocks have uniform molecular structures and, therefore, well-defined properties that can be tailored to specific applications.
• Mineral oil base stocks are prepared from crude oil and are complex mixtures of naturally occurring hydrocarbons. The greater uniformity of synthetic lubricants generally results in superior performance properties.
• synthetic lubricants have excellent thermal stability. As automobile engines are reduced in size to save weight and fuel, they run at higher temperatures, and therefore require a more thermally stable oil. Because lubricants made from synthetic base stocks have such properties as excellent oxidative/thermal stability, very low volatility, and good viscosity indices over a wide range of temperatures, they offer better lubrication and permit longer drain intervals, with less oil vaporization loss between oil changes.
• Synthetic base stocks may be prepared by oligomerizing internal and alpha-olefin monomers to form a mixture of dimers, trimers, tetramers, and pentamers, with minimal amounts of higher oligomers. The unsaturated oligomer products are then hydrogenated to improve their oxidative stability, with little change in other properties. The resulting synthetic base stocks have uniform isoparaffinic hydrocarbon structures, similar to those of high quality paraffinic mineral base stocks, but have the superior properties mentioned because of their greater uniformity.
• Synthetic base stocks are produced in a broad range of viscosity grades. It is common practice to classify the base stocks by their viscosities, measured in centistokes (cSt) at 100°C. Those base stocks with viscosities less than or equal to 4 cSt are commonly referred to as “low viscosity” base stocks, whereas base stocks having a viscosity of 40 to 100 cSt are commonly referred to as “high viscosity” base stocks. Base stocks having a viscosity of 4 to 8 cSt are referred to as “medium viscosity" base stocks. The low viscosity base stocks generally are recommended for low temperature applications.
• Base stocks for higher temperature applications such as motor oils, automatic transmission fluids, turbine lubricants, and other industrial lubricants, generally require higher viscosities, such as those provided by medium viscosity base stocks (i.e. 4 to 8 cSt grades).
• medium viscosity base stocks i.e. 4 to 8 cSt grades.
• High viscosity base stocks are used in gear oils and as blending stocks.
• the viscosity of the base stocks generally is determined by the length of the oligomer molecules formed during the oligomerization reaction. The degree of oligomerization is affected by the catalyst and reaction conditions employed during the oligomerization reaction. The length of the carbon chain of the monomer starting material also has a direct influence on the properties of the oligomer products. Fluids prepared from short-chain monomers tend to have low pour points and moderately low viscosity indices, whereas fluids prepared from long-chain monomers tend to have moderately low pour points and higher viscosity indices. Oligomers prepared from long-chain monomers are generally more suitable for use as medium viscosity synthetic lubricant base stocks than those prepared from shorter-chain monomers.
• oligomerizing long-chain olefins to prepare synthetic lubricant base stocks is to contact the olefin with boron trifluoride, together with a promoter, at a reaction temperature sufficient to effect oligomerization of the olefin, as described in US-A-4400565, -4420646, -4420647 and -4434308.
• Boron trifluoride gas (BF 3 ) is however a pulmonary irritant, and breathing the gas, or fumes formed by hydration of the gas with atmospheric moisture, poses hazards preferably avoided. Additionally, the disposal/neutralization of BF 3 raises environmental concerns.
• a method for oligomerizing long-chain olefins using a non-hazardous, non-polluting catalyst would be a substantial improvement in the art.
• the viscosity (and in some instances the pour point) of base stocks prepared in this manner may be improved by co-reacting a major amount of long-chain linear olefin and minor amount of certain aromatic compounds (i.e. in a mole ratio of about 3:1 or greater), for example anisole, diphenyl ether and/or diphenyl.

• oligomers and alkylated anisoles, alkylated diphenyl ethers and/or alkylated diphenyls may be hydrogenated (to alkanes and alkylated cyclohexyl ethers and/or alkylated dicyclohexanes) to enhance their oxidative stability.
• US-A-4480142 discloses a process for preparing alkylated polycyclic aromatics by contacting the aromatic compound with an alpha olefin in a mole ratio of olefin to aromatic of up to 2.5:1. An acidic montmorillonite clay is used to catalyze the reaction.

• silica-alumina clays also called aluminosilicates.
• Silica-alumina clays primarily are composed of silicon, aluminium and oxygen, with minor amounts of magnesium and iron in some instances. Variations in the ratios of these constituents, and in their crystal lattice configurations, result in some fifty separate clays, each with its own characteristic properties.
• silica-alumina clays comprises smectite clays, which have a small particle size and unusual intercalation properties which afford them a high surface area.
• Smectites comprise layered sheets of octahedral sites between sheets of tetrahedral sites, where the distance between the layers can be adjusted by swelling, using an appropriate solvent.
• Three-layered sheet-type smectites include montmorillonites.
• the montmorillonites structure may be represented by the following formula where M represents the intermellar (balancing) cations, normally sodium or lithium; and x, y and n are numbers.
• Montmorillonite clays may be acid-activated by such mineral acids as sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid. Mineral acids activate montmorillonites by attacking and solubilizing structural cations in the octahedral layers. This opens up the clay structure and increases surface area. These acid-treated clays act as strong Bronsted acids. We have discovered that certain acid-treated montmorillonite clay catalysts are particularly effective for preparing synthetic lubricant base stocks in good yield by oligomerizing long-chain olefins.

• the clay catalyst is activated by heat treatment before running the co-reactions.

• unreacted monomer and anisole, phenyl ether and/or diphenyl may be stripped from the oligomers/alkylated phenyl ethers, alkylated anisoles, and/or alkylated diphenyls before hydrogenation and recycled to the catalyst bed for co-reaction.
• the removal or recycle of unreacted monomer and anisole, phenyl ether and/or diphenyl or, if after hydrogenation, the removal of non-oligomerized alkane and non-alkylated cyclohexyl ethers and/or non-alkylated dicyclohexanes, should be conducted under mild conditions using vacuum distillation procedures known to those skilled in the art. Distillation at temperatures exceeding 250 C may cause the oligomers to break down in some fashion and come off as volatiles. Preferably, therefore, the reboiler or pot temperature should be kept at or below 255 C most preferably at or below 180C. Procedures known by those skilled in the art to be alternatives to vacuum distillation also may be employed to separate unreacted components from the mixture.
• Reactants and clay catalyst were charged to a three-necked flask equipped with an overhead stirrer, heating mantle, and a nitrogen purge. The mixture was vigorously stirred and heated at the desired temperature for the desired period of time. At the end of the reaction, the mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and filtered with suction. Percentage olefin conversion and dimer/trimer ratio were determined by liquid chromatography and recorded in the Tables below.
