N. Y., assignor to Standard Oil Deveiopmen Company, a corporation of Delaware No Drawing. Application April 20, 1940,
Serial No. 330,697

This invention relates to a novel type of Friedel-Crafts condensation product and tomethods of preparing such products and using them for various purposes, more particularly as pour depressors in waxy lubricating oils.
Heretofore, the chief commercial method of making Friedel-Crai'ts condensation products which could be used as pour depressors in waxy lubricating oils, consisted in reacting a long chain aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbon such as chloriof high molecular weight should be used, and in,
the British Patent 440,918 where paramnic hydrocarbon material having at least 12 carbon atoms is specified.
Contrary to the above teachings of the prior art, applicant has found that a new type of pour depressant canbe prepared by starting with halogenated paraflinic hydrocarbons having only a short chain, 1. e. not more than 6 carbon atoms, in the Friedel-Crafts condensation with aromatic compounds. Accordingly one object of the invention is to make such condensation products having particular utility as pour depressors in waxy lubricating oils, and otherwise useful as wax modifiers. Another object of this invention is to make such variation in the condensation reaction conditions (as compared to prior art processes) as are necessary to bring about the production of the desired novel condensation products.
One of the big advantages of this invention is that the new type of raw material used, namely, a halogenated paramnic hydrocarbon having not tendency forchlorinated hydrocarbons of sub stantially the same type to be produced.)
Broadly, the invention comprises the production of pour depressants by reacting a halogenated paraflinic hydrocarbon having not more than 6 carbon atoms, with an aromatic compound in the presence of a. Friedel-Crafts condensation product and recovering from the condensation product a fraction which is substantially free from materials removable by fire and steam distillation up to about 600 F.
The halogenated paraflin hydrocarbons to be used are preferably alkvl halides having 1. to 6 carbon atoms and the halogen is preferably chlorine. A particularly suitable material is a. commercially obtainable mixture of amyl chloride; these chlorides contain but 5 carbon atoms and only l chlorine atom per molecule and they can be represented by the formula CsHnCl, although they consist of a mixture of the various isomers of mono-chlorpentane.
As the aromatic compound, a wide variety of materials is available for carrying out the reaction. For example, mono-, dior'other polynuclear carbocyclic compounds, including hydrocarbons such as benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, xylene, fluorene, etc., amines such as more than 6' carbon atoms, is available commercially'in large quantities at relatively low cost and can readily be produced in uniform quality, whereas it is relatively difficult to produce a chlorinated paraffin wax of precisely the desired and uniform properties. (This may be due to the fact that during the chlorination the chlorine molecules may attack the long chain hydrocarbon molecule at a large number of positions along the chain with the result that there will be a substantially greater difference in properties between a molecule having a chlorine atom at one end and a similar molecule having a chlorine atom at the middle of the long chain, wherein properties is not so great and there is more aniline, alpha-naphthylamine, etc., phenols such as phenol itself, alpha-naphthol. cresol, etc., or ethers having the general formula Ar--0-R, where Ar ,is an aromatic hydrocarbon group and R is any organic radical such as an aliphatic, cyclic, or mixed hydrocarbon group, e. 8. Phenetole (phenyl ethyl ether), anisole (phenyl methyl ether), diphenyl ether, etc.; ketones, preferably having the general formula Ar-CO-R, where Ar is an aromatic hydrocarbon group and R is an organic group such as an aliphatic, cyclic or mixed hydrocarbon group, e. g. diphenyl ketone,
dibenzo-phenone, aceto-phenone, beta-naphthyl methyl ketone, dicresyl ketone, dibenzyl ketone, benzyl methyl ketonc. phenyl naphthyl ketone, cyclohexyl phenyl ketone, etc., or other obviously equivalent aromatic compounds.
The catalyst or condensing agent is preferably anhydrousaluminum chloride, although other Friedel-Crafts agents may be used such as the anhydrous halides of iron, zinc, tin, antimony} boron, etc., or mixtures thereof. Usually the amount of catalyst, e. g., aluminum chloride should be between the approximate limits of 5% to 50%, based on the weight of alkyl halide used, although substantially larger quantities can. be used; preferably the amount should be about 10% to 20%.
The reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of a substantially inert solvent or diluent such as a highly refined kerosene or tetrachlorethane, carbon bisulflde, etc.
The reagents are mixed in preferably simple molecular proportions and in general a molecular ratio of aromatic compounds to alkyl halides of 1:1 is preferred, although other ratios may be used, for instance, 1:3, 1:6 and 1:10. The amount of catalyst to be used can vary within wide limits as only a relatively small amount of catalytic quantity is necessary, for instance, as little as 5% or of the weight of the alkyl halide, although if desired, much larger amounts the may be used such as even up to 40 or 50% of weight of the alkyl halide.
In carrying out the condensation reaction, the alkyl halide and aromatic compound may be mixed, together with the solvent it one is used, and then, while the mixture is being agitated, the catalyst is added gradually so that the temperature will not be allowed to rise excessively at any one time. After the addition of the catalyst, the reaction mixture is heated to 200-300 F., or even, in certain instances, up to 500 F., and maintained at the desired maximum temperature for several hours or until substantially all evolution of hydrogen chloride or other hydrogen halide has ceased. The reaction mixture is then cooled and preferably diluted with a further quantity of inert solvent, and finally neutralized or hydrolyzed by any of the known methods familiar to the art of Friedel-Crafts reactions,
for instance, by water, alcohol, dilute aqueous caustic soda and the like. A mixture'of water and alcohol is very convenient. The mixture is then allowed to settle and the aqueous layer containing the catalyst sludge is drawn on and discarded, whereas the organic or upper layer is then distilled with fire and steam to about 600 F. to remove the solvent and low-boiling products. The residue is a poly-alkylated aromatic condensation product which, in some instances, is a blue, green or even brown viscous liquid and in some cases a dark brown resinous or lighter colored sticky or waxy solid. 7
Although it is not desired to limit the invention to any particular theory as to the structure of the product, it is believed that this product is essentially an aromatic nucleus having condensed thereon a suflicient number'of short aliphatic groups to impart pour-depressing properties thereto. For instance, a product believed to be penta-methyl naphthalene has been prepared which, in 2% concentration, reduced the pour point of a waxy lubricating oil from +30 F. to 10 F., and a product believed to be hepta-ethyl naphthalene similarly reduced the pour point to 15 F. The exact number of alkyl or other aliphatic groups having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, required to impart pour-depressing properties to an aromatic nucleus, depends upon the nature 0! the latter, the number of carbon atoms in the aliphatic group and perhaps also on the position of the various groups, although the eflect of position has not yet been determined with certainty.
This product has the property of modifying the crystal structure of waxes such as paraflin wax present when added to compositions containing same. For instance, when about .05-10.0%, preferably 0.2-5.0%, of this wax modifier is added to a waxy lubricating oil such as a Pennsylvania type lubricating oil having a relatively high pour point, the resultant blend will have a substantially lower pour point; in other words, this wax modifier is an effective pour depressor for waxy oil. A small amount of this wax modifier is also useful as a dewaxing aid for removing wax from mineral lubricating oils of undesirably high wax content. In similarly small amounts, this wax modifier may also be incorporated into parafiln wax or compositions containing the same to be used for various purposes such as for coating or impregnating paper, etc., or for making various molded products.
