Description
cussed above is well known. Since the action of these inhibiting materials is apparently catalytic, the problem of their development is a difficultone and is evidently influenced to a large degree by the oxidizable constituents which are in the oil following a particular refining treatment. Thus, a particular inhibitor or. class of inhibitors may be effective to stabilize a highly refined oil against acid formation while the same inhibitor may have no appreciable effect upon acid, color or sludge formation in a moderately refined oil and vice versa. This same inhibitor may or may not be effective in inhibiting acid, sludge and i' color formation in a solvent-refined oil and 4may or may not be effective to inhibit the corrosive action of a solvent-refined oil toward metals such as used in cadmium-silver bearings.
One of the principal features of the compounds or class of compounds contemplated by this invention resides in their property of acting as a negative catalyst toward the oxidation of highly rened oils, solvent-refined oils and moderately reiinedoils.
This invention is predicated upon the discovery that the reaction product obtained by reacting an alkali metal mercaptide, or, more specifi` cally, an alkaline solution of a mercaptan with beta-beta-dichlor diethyl ether, possesses the property of acting as a negative catalyst toward the oxidation of viscous oils of the highly refined, moderately reflned-and solvent-refined" types. The general reaction just referred to, whereby the compounds contemplated herein are formed, may be illustrated by the following equation:
Fifty-six grams (one mole) of potassium hydroxlde were dissolved in 250 cc. of ethyl alcohol and 104 grams (one mole) of amyl mercaptan were added to the'solution. The solutionwas then refluxed and 70 grams (appproximately 0.5
mole) of beta-beta-dichlor diethyl ether were slowly added. The precipitate of KCl was filtered off and the filtrate added to water. The oil layer formed was separated and distilled under reduced pressure, the desired product being collected between the temperatures of 160 and 185'C. at 5 mm. pressure. Thev product obtained by the foregoing procedure is the prod-` uct herein referred to as diamylmercaptyl di.- ethyl ether. y
EXAMPLE Two Eleven grams (0.1 mole) of thiophenol (phenyl mercaptan) lwhere dissolved in 100 co.v of ethyl alcohol containing five grams of NaOH. This solution was heated to refiuxtemperature and 7.1 grams (0.05 mole) of Ybeta-beta-dichlor diethyl Special proce-V ether were added slowly thereto and upon completion of the reaction the mixture was poured into water and the insoluble layer was separated and distilled under reduced pressure, the fraction boiling between 190 and 200 C. at 5 mm. pressure being recovered as diphenyl mercaptyl diethyl ether. 'Ihe product on standing gave a solid having a melting point of 65 C.
The effectiveness of the compounds contemplated herein as antioxidants for mineral oll fractions is shown by the following examples:
EXAMPLE A (Highly refined oils) The test used to demonstrate the antioxidant effect of the compounds contemplated herein upon highly refined oils was a modified German tartest which involved heating a 150 gram sample of the oil to a temperature of 120 C. and bubbling oxygen gas1 through the sample for a periodof 70 hours. At the end of this test the acidic oxidation products formed in the oil `were determined by titrating with caustic alkali, and the results are recorded in the terms of neutralization number, which represents the number of milligrams of KOH required to neutralize the acids-formed in one gram of oil. The oil used was ofv the highly refined type, suitable for use in transformers and the like, which had been obtained from a Coastal distillate by successive treatments with 40 lbs. per bbl. of 98 per cent sulfuric acid and 180 lbs. per bbl. of 103 per cent oleum, followed by neutralization, washing and clay percolation. 'I'he oil had a specific gravity of 0.87,A a flash point of 310 F., a Lovibond color of less than 0.1 and a Saybolt Universal Viscosity of 69 seconds at 100 F. The results obtained in this test, using the oil alone and the oil blended with respresentative dimercaptyl diethyl ethers are indicated in Table I below;

EXAMPLE B Moderately refined oil For testing moderately refined oils a sample of oil was heated to 110 C. in air for a period oi.' '72 hours in the presence of apiece of copper foil, after which the color and neutralization number (acidity) of the oil was noted. The oil used in demonstrating the effect of the compounds contemplated herein was an oil, suitable for-use in turbines, obtained from* a blend of 92 per cent Midcontinent distillate and 8 per cent Coastal distillate by treatment with 'l0 lbs. per bbl. of 98 per cent sulfuric acid, followed by neutralization, washing and clay percolation. This oil had a specific gravity of 0.879, a ash point of 385I F. and a Saybolt viscosity of 152 seconds at 100 F. The results of the test on this oil, using representative dimercaptyl diethyl ethers, are given in Table II below.
