Description
SPECIFICATION
Lubricating oil additives derived from dialkyl phosphonates
The present invention relates to lubricating oil additives obtainable by reacting a dialkyl phosphonate with a high molecular weight organic compound having available = NH groups in its molecular structure and optionally also either an aldehyde or a ketone.
It has for some time been the practice to add to lubricating oils a dispersant in order to prevent the deposition of sludge caused by the presence in the oil of dirt, soot, water and decomposition products resulting from breakdown of the oil. Dispersants are additives which are capable of dispersing the sludge formed in engines, thereby maintaining the sludge in fine suspension in the lubricating oil, in which condition it does not deposit on engine parts such as oil screens, valve train components and oil control rings where it could cause problems with respect to the efficient operation of the engine. A dispersant which has gained wide acceptance is that generally referred to as a succinimide which can be produced by reacting a hydrocarbyl substituted succinic acid or succinic anhydride with a polyamino compound as described for example in GB 922831.It is also known to add phosphorus-containing compounds, such as dialkyl phosphonates and/or trialkyl phosphonates, to lubricating oils as anti-wear and anticorrosion agents. Generally, these additives together with others, such as antioxidants and viscosity index improvers, are sold by additive manufacturers in the form of additive packages, which are blended into base oils by the finished lubricating oil manufacturer. A very important property of an additive is its compatability with other additives both in the additive package and in the finished oil. In this respect problems have been encountered in mixing dialkyl phosphonates with other components of the additive package. Whilst the compatability problem can be substantially reduced by careful selection of the components, this approach is not entirely satisfactory because it severely curtails operational flexibility.
It is known from, for example, US Patent No 4083897 that dialkyl phosphonates of the formula (R10)2 - PH = O will react with an amine having the formula R4#N(H)n(R5)2#n and an aldehyde or ketone having the formula (R2)(R3)C = O to form an N-alkylated aminoalkylphosphonate of formula: [ (R1 0)2 P(0)C(R2)(R3) ] n N(R4)(R5)2 n wherein R', R4 and R5 are straight or branched lower alkyl having two to five carbon atoms; R2 and R3 are selected from the group consisting of straight or branched lower alkyl having one to five carbon atoms and hydrogen and n is the integer one or two.
We have now found that a dialkyl phosphonate will react with an organic compound having available = NH groups in its molecular structure and a molecular weight greater than 500 in the absence of an aldehyde or ketone to form a salt, and in the presence of an aldehyde or ketone to form an N-substituted aminoalkylphosphonate, both of which are more compatible with other components in the additive package than is the dialkyl phosphonate alone. Moreover, the N-substituted aminoalkylphosphonate derived from a succinimide can exhibit multifunctional behaviour in that it can act as both a dispersant and an anti-wear additive in lubricating oil compositions.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a lubricating oil additive obtainable by reacting a dialkyl phosphonate of formula: (R10)2-PH = 0 (I) with an organic compound having available = NH groups in its molecular structure and a molecular weight greater than 500 in the presence of absence of either an aldehyde or a ketone having the formula: (R2)(R3) = 0 (II) in which formulae (I) and (II), the groups R' which may be the same or different are straight or branched alkyl groups having from 1 to 30 carbon atoms and R2 and R3 are independently either hydrogen or straight or branched alkyl groups having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
With regard to the phosphonate of formula (I), the groups R' may suitably be straight or branched alkyl groups having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms. Suitable compounds of formula (I) are diethyl phosphonate, diisopropyl phosphonate and dibutyl phosphonate. An advantage of using the lower alkyl phosphonates is that by virtue of their lower boiling points the use of excessive stripping temperatures can be avoided.
The organic compound having available = NH groups in its molecular structure and a molecular weight greater than 500 may be chosen from a wide range of materials. It may suitably be selected from materials which are viscosity index improvers, eg amino functionalised polyolefins, or dispersants, eg succinimides, or materials which incorporate both viscosity index improver and dispersancy properties.A preferred organic compound is the hydrocarbyl substituted succinimide in which the hydrocarbyl substituent contains from 30 to 200 carbon atoms obtained by reacting a substituted succinic acid having the structural formula:
R4.CH(CH2COOH).COOH (111) or a substituted succinic anhydride having the structural formula:
in which structural formulae (III) and (IV) the substituent R4 is a large substantially aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having from 30 to 200 carbon atoms, with at least one-half an equivalent amount of an amine of formula:: H2N [ CH2CH(R5)NHJ#H (V) in which formula (V) the substituent R5 is a C1 to C6 alkyl radical or hydrogen and x is an integer in the range 1 to 5, at a sufficiently elevated temperature to effect formation of the succinimide and to remove the water formed in the reaction. For convenience the product is generally referred to in the art as a succinimide, which term has been adopted in this specification.
Preferably the substituent R4 in the structural formulae (III) and (IV) is a large substantially aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having at least 50 carbon atoms. The group R4 may be either an alkyl or an alkenyl radical. Suitably the group R4 may be derived from polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene or polybutylene although they may be derived from any substantially aliphatic hydrocarbon. Preferably the group R4 is a polyisobutylene group.
The substituted succinic acids and anhydrides of formulae (III) and (IV) are readily available from the reaction of maleic anhydride with a high molecular weight olefin or a chlorinated high molecular weight olefin. The product from such a reaction is the corresponding alkenyl succinic anhydride. The reaction may be effected by heating the reactants at a temperature in the range of from 150 to 200 C.
Amines of the formula (V) are generally known as polyalkyl polyamines, though when B5 = H they are generally referred to as ethylene amines. The group R5 may be a C1 to C6 alkyl group but is preferably hydrogen. Suitable amines of formula (V) are ethylene diamine, diethylene, triamine, triethylene tetramine, tetraethylene pentamine and pentaeethylene hexamine. Such compounds are well-known in the art and are generally prepared by reacting ethylene dichloride with ammonia. In addition to the pure compounds mixtures of such compounds may also be used.
Whilst at least one half of a chemical equivalent amount of the compound of formula (V) per equivalent of substituted succinic acid or anhydride must be used in the production of the substituted succinimide, up to 2.0 chemical equivalents may be used. The chemical equivalency of the amine reactant is based upon the nitrogen content thereof. Thus triethylene tetramine, for example, has four equivalents per mole.
The substituted succinic acid of structural formula (III) or the substituted succinic anhydride of structural formula (IV) may suitably be reacted with the amine of formula (V) at a temperature in the range of from 80 to about 200 C, preferably from 100 to 1 60 C. A suitable method of carrying out the reaction is to add some hydrocarbon solvent eg toluene, to the reaction mixture and remove the water formed by azeotropic distillation. Further details of the process for producing a hydrocarbyl substituted succinimide may be found in the aforesaid British Patent No 922831.
A suitable substituted succinimide useful in the performance of the invention is the bissuccinimide obtained by reacting a substituted succinic anhydride wherein the substituent is derived from a polyisobutene of molecular weight about 1000 with half a mole of triethylene tetramine. Such a substituted succinimide has, theoretically, two amino (= NH) groups available for bonding. Another suitable succinimide is the mono-succinimide derived from triethylene tetramine in the aforesaid reaction. The mono-succinimide has, theoretically, four = N-H groups available for bonding.
As mentioned hereinbefore the product in the absence of an aldehyde or a ketone is a salt.
Examples of suitable compounds having the formula (lì) are formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, nrnoionaldehvde, acetone and methyl ethyl ketone. Preferably the compound of formula (li) is formaldehyde. Formaldehyde may be employed in its monomeric form or in a polymeric form, eg paraformaldehyde. Paraformaldehyde is preferably added in the form of a solution in a suitable alcohol, for example methanol or ethanol. Furthermore, the aldehyde or ketone may be added as an aqueous solution or in a substantially anhydrous state. Thus formaldehyde may be added as formalin. The amount of aldehyde or ketone employed may suitably be in the range from zero up to twice the molar amount of the dialkyl phosphonate employed.
The reaction in the presence of an aldehyde or a ketone may be carried out in a variety of different ways. The water formed as a by-product of the reaction may be removed during the course of the reaction, as described in US Patent Nos 3268450 and 3555124. Alternatively, the water may be removed at the completion of the reaction, as described in US Patents Nos 2635112; 2,847,442; 2870190; 3076010; 3257479; 3821335 and 3855363. In a further alternative, nonaqueous aldehyde or ketone may be employed, as described in US Patents Nos 3134742; 3257479; 3352948; 3385914; 3457333; 3498969; 3505431 and 3551422.It is preferred however to use the process described in the aforesaid US Patent No 4083897 wherein in a first step a mixture of the appropriate dialkyl phosphonate and the hydrocarbyl substituted succinimide is prepared and in a second step aqueous formaldehyde or ketone is added to the reaction with the reaction temperature kept below about 70 C. The water is removed at the conclusion of the reaction. For further details of this process reference may be made to USP 4083897 which is hereby incorporated into the specification. The process of USP 4083897 shares with those patents covering the use of nonaqueous aldehyde or ketone the advantage that products having low acid numbers can be obtained, thereby eliminating the need for a final and expensive distillation stage.The desirability of using a product having a low acid number in lubricant applications will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. As hereinbefore mentioned the product in the presence of an aldehyde or a ketone is an Nsubstituted aminoalkylphosphonate.
In a further embodiment of the invention sulphur may be incorporated into the lubricant additives so-obtained by exchange with oxygen atoms of the additive or reactant phosphonate.
The exchange may be accomplished either by reacting the additives with elemental sulphur or by the addition of elemental sulphur to the initial reaction mixture.
In another aspect, the invention provides a concentrate composition for use in the production of finished lubricating oils which composition comprises a lubricating oil additive obtained in the manner as hereinbefore described and a lubricating oil.
The lubricating oil additive may suitably be present in the concentrate composition in an amount sufficient to provide up to 15% by weight, preferably from 0. 1 to 10%, by weight in the finished oil composition.
The concentrate composition may additionally contain other additives, such as detergents, antioxidants, anti-wear agents, anti-corrosion agents and viscosity index improvers.
The lubricating oil may be a petroleum-derived lubricating oil or a synthetic lubricating oil, eg a high molecular weight ester. Of the hydrocarbon-derived lubricating oils, solvent neutral oils are suitable.
In yet another aspect the invention provides a finished lubricating oil composition which composition comprises a minor proportion of the concentrate composition as hereinbefore described and a major proportion of a lubricating base oil.
The invention will now be described in further detail by reference to the following Examples.
