  • the synthetic oil which is the subject of the present invention contains dialkylbenzenes, that is to say a benzene ring of which 2 hydrogen atoms have been substituted with aliphatic chains, and / or partially or completely hydrogenated dialkylbenzenes (dialkylcyclohexadiene, dialkylcyclohexene, dialkylcylclohexane).
  • dialkylbenzenes according to the invention can be represented according to the general formula I:
  • Dialkylbenzenes are compounds whose characteristics have been widely described.

  • R1 has between 2 and 4 carbon atoms and R2 between 14 and 18 carbon atoms.
  • These oils have in total between 23 and 28 carbon atoms which corresponds to between 17 and 22 aliphatic carbon atoms.
  • the authors reveal good physical properties of these oils when one of the two alkyl chains is much shorter than the other.
  • R1 and R2 comprise between 6 and 18 carbon atoms.
  • the product is characterized by the presence of the phenyl group on the carbon 2 of the aliphatic chain with a level greater than 20% on one of the groups R1 or R2 and less than 20% on the other.

  • the two alkyl groups are predominantly attached to the group A by the carbon 2 of the aliphatic chain.
  • the term "predominantly” means that at least 50% of at least one of the alkyl groups is attached to the group A by the carbon 2 of the aliphatic chain and usually at least 80%, often at least 95%, and most often almost 100%.
  • oils according to the present invention have viscosity indices much higher than those which could be described in the prior art as well as very low pour points.
  • the physical properties of the oils described by formula I depend on the proportions of the ortho compound.

  • the sum of the isomers present in the oil is equal to 100%.
  • the three isomers are present in the synthetic oil.
  • compositions of the synthetic oils according to the present invention can be obtained by adjusting the proportion of the isomers by simple addition of the ortho and / or meta and / or para isomers or by any other synthesis technique known to those skilled in the art. .
  • the dialkylabenzenes may for example be prepared by alkylation of benzene with olefins. For this reaction, benzene and pure alpha-olefins whose chain length varies between 6 and 20 carbon atoms and preferably between 8 and 20 atoms have been used.
