• the preferred sulfonate starting materials for use in the present invention are those derived from alkylated aromatic sulfonic acids in which the alkyl radical contains at least about 8 carbon atoms, for example, from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms. These sulfonic acids are particularly suitable for the preparation of additives for lubricating oils.

• a solvent which comprises at least 25%, and preferably at least by weight of an aliphatic alcohol of from about 1 to about 3 carbon atoms.
• Isopropanol is a particularly suitable alcohol.
• Methanol or ethanol can also be employed, or mixtures of the foregoing alcohols can be employed.
• Water or a liquid hydrocarbon can be used in conjunction with the aliphatic alcohol solvent. Suitable liquid hydrocarbons are the lighter hydrocarbon oils, particularly hydrocarbons of 10 or less carbon atoms or mixtures thereof.
• the hydrocarbons can be paratiinic, naphthenic or aromatic or they can be of a mixed type.
• suitable hydrocarbons are benzene, toluene, xylene, gasoline fractions, such as a gasoline fraction having a boiling range between about C. and about 80 C., and the like.
• Mixtures of such hydrocarbons with alcohols containing up to by weight of the hydrocarbon are suitable solvent media for use in the process of the present invention.
• the inorganic polyvalent metal salt employed is preferably the chloride or the bromide. However, the nitrate is also suitable.
• the polyvalent metal organic sulfonate starting material is generally present in the alcoholic solutionin a concentration of from about 1% to about 10% by weight.
• the inorganic polyvalent metal salt and the alkali metal hydroxide which is subsequently added are preferably employed in amounts in excess of that theoretically required to form a compound having the formula: [(RSO3)nM][M(OII)n], in which M represents the polyvalent metal, n represents its valency, and R represents an organic radical.
• M represents the polyvalent metal
• n represents its valency
• R represents an organic radical.
• an excess of from about 25% to about 250%, particularly from about 25% to about 150%, calculated on this theoretically required quantity is suitable. If-desired, larger quantities can be used.
• the type of the solvent and of the inorganic salt of the polyvalent metal, as well as the quantities of the various components of the starting mixture to which the alkali metal hydroxide solution is gradually added, is selected in such a manner that the starting mixture forms a homogeneous solution.
• a solution of an alkali metal hydroxide in water and/ or an aliphatic alcohol of from about 1 to about 3 carbon atoms is then gradually added to the alcoholic solution of the polyvalent metal organic sulfonate starting material and inorganic polyvalent metal salt.
• the alkali metal hydroxide can be dissolved in the same alcohol as is present in the solution of the polyvalent metal organic sulfonate starting material, or a difierent aliphatic alcohol of 1 to 3 carbon atoms can be employed.
• the alkali metal hydroxide can also be dissolved in water or in a mixture of water and a suitable aliphatic alcohol.
• the alkali metal hydroxide solution is employedin aqueous solution, it is advisable to dissolve the sulfonate starting material and the inorganic polyvalent metaljs'alt in a solvent phase containing suflicient of the aliphatic alcohol of 1 to 3 carbon atoms that, after theaddition of the aqueous alkali metal hydroxidesolution, the reaction mixture contains at least about 25% by weight of the aliphatic alcohol, calculated on the solvent phase.
• a solution of sodium or potassium hydroxide in methanol or ethanol, either alone or in admixture with water is very suitable.
• the concentration of the alkali metal hydroxide solution is preferably from about 0.5 to about 5 normal.
• the alkali metal hydroxide solution should be added very gradually to thesolution of the sulfonate starting material and inorganic polyvalent metal salt in order to prevent a local excess of the free hydroxide of the polyvalent metal from being formed and separating out from the solution as such instead of combining with the sulfonate to form the desired basic sulfonate.
• a satisfactory yield of basic sulfonate can be obtained by adding the alkali metal hydroxide solution over a period of from about 1 minute to about 1 hour. It is further advisable to mix the alkali metal hydroxide as quickly as possible uniformly with the solution of the sulfonate starting material.
• the hydroxide of the polyvalent metal is formed by the reaction of the alkali metal hydroxide with the inorganic polyvalent metal salt, and the resulting polyvalent metal hydroxide combines with the sulfonate starting material to form the desired basic sulfonate.
• the required conversion is promoted if the type and the quantity of the various components of the mixture to be converted are so selected that the alkali metal salt formed during conversion, such as an alkali metal chloride, precipitates from the solution.
• the basic sulfonate formed during the conversion is considerably 'less soluble in the solvents used than the starting sulfonate and, therefore, separates out from the solution. That quantity of the polyvalent metal hydroxide which is formed during the conversion and which does not combine with the starting sulfonate and the alkali metal salt which. is also formed during the conversion also separates out from the solution.
• the unconverted sulfonate starting material remains in solution.
• the insoluble components are first separated from the reaction mixture, for example, by filtering or centrifuging.
• the basic sulfonate product is then extracted from the insoluble components by means of a suitable solvent.
• a suitable solvent In general, light hydrocarbon oils are suitable for the extraction, particularly hydrocarbon oils with a final boiling point of not higher than about 300 C.
• the hydrocarbon oil can be aliphatic, naphthenic, aromatic or mixed base type. Hydrocarbons having 10 or less carbon atoms or mixtures of such hydrocarbons are especially suitable. Examples of suitable hydrocarbons are benzene, heptane, and gasoline fractions, such as a gasoline fraction having a boiling range of from about 60 C. to about C. If desired, the resulting extract can be concentrated by removing all or a portion of the solvent.
• the solution containing the unconverted sulfo-nate starting material can be again subjected to the process of the present invention in order to produce further quantities of basic sulfonates.
• the products obtained contain at least as many hydroxyl groups as R503 groups.
• the basicity of the product will be expressed as the ratio, in per cent, of hydroxyl groups to R803 group s.
• the entire reaction mixture obtained by the process of the present invention can be worked to ob min as product a mixture of the relatively more basic polyvalent metal sulfonate produced in accordance with the present invention and the unconverted relatively less basic polyvalent metal sulfonate starting material.
• a mixture has very valuable properties, especially as a lubricating oil additive.
• the resulting mixture does not have as high a basicity as the relatively more highly basic sulfonate component alone, its basicity is still considerable, generally amounting to or more.
• the solvent is first removed from the entire reaction mixture, for example, by distillation, and the polyvalent metal sulfonates, that is the relatively more basic sulfonate produced by the reaction and the unconverted relatively less basic sulfonate, are extracted from the residue.
• Suitable solvents are the hydrocarbon oils described above with reference to the extraction of the relatively more basic polyvalent metal sulfonate alone.
• liquid concentrates can be prepared which can be added in minor amounts to the same or different lubricating oil fraction than that present in the concentrate.
• Conversion of the polyvalent metal sulfonate starting material of relatively low basicity into a polyvalent metal sulfonate of relatively high basicity in accordance with the present process can be effected at room temperatures or somewhat elevated temperatures. Elevated temperatures are especially suitable when using concentrated solutions of sulfonate starting material since concentrated solutions are often very viscous and an increase in temperature results in a decrease in the viscosity of the solution. The temperatures employed will generally not be higher than the initial boiling point of the solvent at normal pressure.
• the present process can be carried out either continuously or batchwise. When carrying out the process continuously, it is advisable to recycle a portion of the solu-.
• the process of the present invention can also be carried out utilizingas starting material a free sulfonic acid or an, alkali metal or ammonium salt :of a sulfonic acid.
• the freesulfonic acid or alkali metal or ammonium salt. thereof is converted to the corresponding polyvalent metal lsulfonate by reaction with an excess amount of an inorganic polyvalent :metal salt in the presenceof asolvent comprising at least about 25% by weight of an aliphatic alcohol of about 1 to about 3 carbon atoms as described above.
• the resulting solution containing polyvalent metal sulfonate and inorganic polyvalent metal salt is then reacted with a solution of 'suflicient alkali metal hydroxide to react with the inorganic polyvalent metalsalt to form a :polyvalent metal hydroxide which in turn combines with the polyvalent metalsulfonate present to form the desired basic sulfonate.
• suflicient alkali metal hydroxide must be added also to neutralize the free inorganic acid formed in the conversion of the free sulfonic acid to its polyvalent metal salt.
• the exact mechanism of the present process is not fully understood. Although the present invention does not depend on a theoretical explanation of the mechanism of the formation of the basic sulfonate, it is possible that the following occurs.
• the freehydroxide of the polyvalent metal is insoluble or only slightly soluble in the solvent used for the conversion. Extremely fine agglomerates are formed from'th molecules of the resultant free hydroxide of the ,polyvalent metal, and on their formation these agglomerates adsorb the sul-fonate start iug material. In this way, adsorption complexes are formed which are again compietely dispersible in hydrocarbnn oil and, consequently are very efiective lubricating oil additives.
• organic sulfonic acid is represented by the formula RSOzH (:wherein'Ri represents an organic radical) and calcium is usedr-as;'a polyvalent metal, so that the. neutral sulfonate. is represented by (RSOahCa', while CaCla is used asaninorganic salt and NaOH as an alkali metal hydroxide," thetfonnafionfiof the basic sulfonate from theneut'ral sulfonate can be represented by the following equation:
• the present invention is of particular utility for the preparation of highly basic sulfonates of divalent metals, particularly zinc and the alkaline earth metals, including magnesium.
• basic sulfonates of metals of higher valency for example,'iron or chromium, can also be-prepared in accordance with the present process.
