Filed Apr. 26, 1972, Ser. No. 247,811 Claims priority, application Great Britain, May 5, 1971, 13,208/ 71 Int. Cl. C07f 9/16; (310m 1/48 US. Cl. 25232 FE 9 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A lubricating oil composition having an ashless antiwear additive not giving rise to Cu/Pb bearing discolouration comprises a lubricating oil and 0.001 to 20.0% by weight based on the oil, of a mono hydroxy-amine salt of a dithiophosphoric acid, trithiophosphoric acid, or tetrathiophosphoric acid having the formula where R R and R are hydrogenand carbon-containing groups, R is a divalent aromatic group, and X and X are oxygen or sulphur atoms. The monohydroxy-amine is preferably monoisopropanolamine, and the groups R and R are preferably C to C alkyl.
This invention relates to lubricating oil compositions containing an amine salt of a thiophosphoric acid.
Certain amine salts of dithiophosphoric acid are known and they have use as ashless antiwear additives for lubricating oils. However it has been found that the use of certain amine salts results in a tendency to cause hearing discolouration.
We have now found a certain type of amine salts of thiophosphoric acids which are useful as ashless antiwear additives for lubricating oils and which do not give rise to copper/lead bearing discolouration.
According to the invention a lubricating oil composition comprises a lubricating oil and 0.001 to 20.0% by weight based on the oil, of a mono hydroxy-amine salt of a dithiophosphoric acid, trithiophosphoric acid, or tetraethiophosphoric acid having the formula R X F X S P r R P \669 \969 R2X2 S NHaR OH X2 S NHsR OH where R R and R are hydrogenand carbon-containing groups, R is a divalent aromatic group, and X and X are oxygen or sulphur atoms.
X and X are preferably the same i.e. both sulphur or both oxygen atoms, although they could be different. In practice it is preferable if X and X are both oxygen atoms.
The groups R and R can be aliphatic or aromatic, e.g. they may be the hydrocarbyl groups such as alkyl, aryl, alkaryl, or aralkyl. If alkyl the groups R and R preferably contain between 1 and 25 carbon atoms, e.g. propyl, n-hexyl, sec-octyl, isodecyl, tetradecyl or eicosyl. Suitable aryl groups include phenyl, naphthyl, and anthranyl. Suitable alkaryl groups are alkyl phenyl, the alkyl portion being C to C e.g. tolyl, xylyl, nonyl phenyl, dodecyl phenyl, octadecyl phenyl, dibutyl phenyl, butyl pentyl phenyl and dinonyl phenyl. Aralkyl groups which are suitable include benzyl, 2-phenyl butyl, and 2-phenyl ethyl. The groups R and R are usually, but need not be the same.
As an alternative to being hydrocarbyl, the groups R and R may contain oxygen atoms, e.g. they may be alkoxyalkyl, for instance methoxybutyl, or alkoxyaryl, e.g. ethoxyphenyl, or aryloxyalkyl, e.g. phenoxyethyl.
The group R is aromatic, and it may be for example phenylene, bisphenylene or their alkylated derivatives in which case the thiophosphoric acid is derived from catechol, resorcinol, bisphenol or their alkylated derivatives or their thio analogues.
The groups R R and R are preferably hydrocarbyl groups, i.e. contain no atoms other than carbon and hydrogen. If desired however these groups R R and R may also be substituted by polar substituents, e.g. chloro, bromo, keto, ethereal, aldehydo or nitro atoms or groups. Preferably these polar substituents are not present in proportions sufficiently large to alter significantly the hydrocarbon character of the group, e.g. they contain no more than 10% by weight of polar substituent based on the hydrocarbyl portion of the group.
The group R is'preferably a hydrocarbyl group, and is preferably a saturated aliphatic group e.g. alkylene. It may however be an arylene, aralkylene, or alkarylene group. Usually the amine salts used in the lubricating oil of this invention are derived from hydroxy-containing primar amines of the formula H NR OH, e.g. mono alkanolarnines, for example mono ethanolamine, monopropanolamine, mono butanolamine, 6-amino-1-hexanol, and 5-amino8-octanol. A particularly suitable alkanolamine salt is the isopropanolamine salt. The preferred chain length of R is 1 to 20 carbon atoms, e.g. 1 to 10 carbon atoms.
Further examples of R include cyclopentylene, cyclohexylene, phenylene, naphthylene, and anthracene.
The hydroxy-amine salts used in the oil composition of this invention may be prepared by reacting the thiophosphoric acid with the hydroxy-amine, the latter preferably being added to the former at an elevated temperature, e.g. 50 to C., over a period of time e.g. about 30 minutes. The thiophosphoric acid can itself be prepared in situ, e.g. by reacting P 8 with an alcohol or the corresponding thiol.
The reaction is preferably carried out in an inert atmosphere, e.g. under a nitrogen blanket.
Approximately stoichiometric amounts of reactants should be used for the reactions.
Suitable lubricating oils to which the amine salts are added include animal, vegetable or mineral oils, for example petroleum oil fractions ranging from spindle oil to SAE 30, 40 or 50 lubricating oil grades; castor oil, fish oils, oxidised mineral oil or brightstocks. The lubricating oil may be a synthetic ester oil, e.g. diesters such as those prepared by esterifying carboxylic acids such as adipic or sebacic acid with monohydric alcohols, or complex esters obtained by the esterification of the polyhydric alcohol (e.g. a polyglycol) with a dibasic acid (e.g. sebacic or adipic acid) and a monohydric alcohol (e.g. 2-ethyl hexanol or a C oxo alcohol).
The amount of amine salt added to the oil must be between 0.001 and 20.0% based on the weight of oil, and the preferred quantity added to the lubricating oil is between 0.01 and 10%, e.g. between 0.1 and 5% by Weight, based on the weight of the lubricating oil.
3 EXAMPLE The ethanolamine salt of isodecanol dithiophosphoric acid was prepared in accordance with the following equations:
io zi 5 9% SNHaCHzCHzOH 44.4 g. P 8 was slurried with 67.0 g. of a mineral lubrione hour. A clear dark liquid was obtained. 24.4 g. ethanolamine was added slowly at 100 C. over minutes (maximum temperature which was reached was 110 C.), and stirring was continued for a further hour to complete the reaction. The mixture was vacuum stripped (17" Hg) at 100 C. to remove excess isodecanol. The reaction was carried out under a nitrogen blank.
The mono isopropanolamine salt of isodecanol dithiophosphoric acid was prepared in the following manner:
63.0 g. P S was added over two hours to 189.6 g. of isodecanol and 94.2 g. of a mineral lubricating oil (viscosity 150 SSU at 100 F.) heated to C. The reaction mixture was heat soaked at 100 C. for three hours and vacuum stripped to remove H 8. The liquid was cooled at 60 C. and 39.0 g. of mono isopropanolamine was added over one hour and the temperature was kept below C. A clear amber coloured mobile liquid was obtained as the product of this reaction.
To a mineral lubricating oil having the following physical characteristics (viscosity 150 SSU at F., 42 SSU at 210 F.) 1% by weight based on the weight of oil of the above prepared oil solutions of various alkanolamine dithiophosphates and other amine salts were added.
The Shell four ball test was carried out on the oil alone and the oil containing the above mentioned amount of various amine salts, for different loads. The results obtained were as follows:
