Definitions
- Phenoxyphenylphosphinic acids and lubricating compositions comprising polyphenyl thioethers, polyphenyl ethers-thioethers or mixtures thereof and small amounts of said acids have improved lubricating properties over wide temperature ranges.
- This invention relates to phenoxyphenylphospinic acids and to improved lubricating compositions comprising polyphenyl thioethers, mixed polyphenyl ethers-thioethers and mixtures thereof, containing from 3 to 8 aromatic groups and a small amount of said phenoxyphenylphosphinic acid as a lubricating additive.
- Polyphenyl thioethers and polyphenyl ether-thioether combinations have found wide application as functional fluids due to their excellent thermal stability and lubricity. For example they have been found to be valuable as hydraulic fluids and as lubricants in motor operation, particularly in jet engines.
- An object of this invention is to provide novel phenoxy phenylphosphinic acids having excellent lubricating additive properties.
- Another object of this invention is to provide improved lubricating compositions comprising polyphenyl thioethers, polyphenyl ether-thioethers, or mixtures thereof and a small amount of a phenoxyphenylphosphinic acid.
- the phenoxyphenylphosphinicacids of this invention can be represented by the formula wherein R and R "are alkyl of not more than 4 carbon atoms, haloalkyl of not more than 4 carbon atoms and 3 halogen (Cl, Br and F) atoms, halogen (Cl, Br and F), hydroxyl or phenyl, and m and a are integers from 0 to 3.
- R and R in the above formula include alkyl such as methyl, ethyl, ,propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl and t-butyl and haloalkyl such as chloromethyl, bromomethyl, chloroethyl, bromoethyl,

Polyphenyl thioethers and polyphenyl ether-thioether combinations have found wide application as functional fluids due to their excellent thermal stability and lubricity.

Development of synthetic base stocks such as the polyphenyl thioether has provided lubricant fluids which are useful at elevated temperature such as 400 to 500 F. It is known that one of the aspects in which the polyphenyl thioether base stocks are considered deficient is in their lubricating characteristics.

and the like and mixtures thereof. It is also contemplated within the scope of this invention to employ mixtures of polyphenyl ether-thioethers as base stocks.
The compositions of this invention are useful as lubricants under extreme conditions. The compositions are especially useful for steel on steel lubrication.
The phenoxyphenylphosphinic acids of this invention are prepared by interaction of a phosphine of the formula wherein R R m and a are as defined above with ethyl alcohol and water.
The interaction is carried out in the absence of a solvent by heating the admixture of the three components at temperatures up to and including reflux temperature. Pressure is not critical and subatmospheric, atmospheric and superatmospheric pressures can be employed. It is generally preferred to slowly add the phosphine to the ethyl alcohol and then to add the water to the admixture of phosphine and ethyl alcohol prior to heating. After reaction is complete, generally a period not exceeding more than or minutes, the excess ethyl alcohol and water are removed by azeotropic distillation with an azeotroping agent such as benzene.
The separation of the desired phosphinic acid from the azeotroping agent is readily accomplished by conventional means well known to the art. For example, distillation, fractional distillation under reduced pressure, selective extraction, fractional distillation using a carrier gas, film distillation, evaporation, elution, or any suitable combination of these methods.
Dichlorophenoxyphenylphosphines can be prepared by Friedel-Crafts condensation of diphenyl ethers with phosphorus trichloride in accordance with the procedure set forth in Organic Synthesis, 31, p. 88 (1951).
The following examples serve to further illustrate the invention. All parts are parts by weight unless otherwise expressly set forth.
EXAMPLE 1 This example describes the preparation of p-phenoxyphenylphosphinic acid. One part of dichloro-p-phenoxyphenylphosphine (B.P. 138-143 C./ 0.5 mm. Hg) is slowly added to five parts of absolute ethyl alcohol in a suitable vessel and then two parts of Water are added to the alcohol phosphine admixture with continuous stirring. The resulting admixture is heated at reflux for about five minutes. Evaporation of alcohol and water produces an oily substance. Residual alcohol and water are removed from the oily substance by azeotropic distillation using benzene as the azeotroping agent. The benzene is removed from the acid by evaporation producing an oil which slowly crystallizes. The crystals are dried and subjected to recrystallization from benzene and from an admixture of 70% benzene and 30% petroleum ether (B.P. 30-75 C.). The product p-phenoxyphenylphosphinic acid has a melting point of 96.5-98" C. and is confirmed by 6 EXAMPLE 2 A polyphenyl thioether-polyphenyl ether-thioether lubricant composition is prepared by combining p-phenoxyphenyl phosphinic acid (0.10 gram) with grams of a thioether of the following composition:
meta-bis(phenylmercapto)benzene (50% by weight) bis(m-phenoxyphenyl)sulfide (12.5% by weight) (m-phenoxyphenyl) (m phenylmercaptophenyl)sulfide (23.5% by weight) bis(m-phenylmercaptophenyl)sulfide (12.65% by weight) 3-ring and S-ring thioethers (1.35% by weight) and containing 10 parts per million of a dimethyl silicone antifoam agent (Dow-Corning-200, 350 cs. fluid). After stirring at 40 C. to dissolve the acid, the mixture is cooled to room temperature and filtered.
The resultant admixture was tested for lubricity with a slow speed four ball machine. A slow speed four ball machine measures the boundry lubricity action of additives. This test is a variation of the well known Shell Four Ball Test in which a ball is rotated against three stationary balls. Wear scars and/or seizure loads measure additive lubricity. In the slow speed instrument the three stationary balls are replaced with circular discs. Standard operating conditions are: 3 kg. load; 1 r.p.m.; and room temperature to 700 F.
The speed of rotation is very low, namely one r.p.m. This equals 0.88 inch/minute. This is done for two reasons. It insures boundary conditions, i.e., metal to metal contact. It also eliminates metal skin temperature flashes which can occur at high speeds. Thus the bulk oil temperature is equivalent to the metal surface temperature. Under these conditions wear is negligible and friction is used to follow lubrication. After covering the ball and disc with the test oil, the initial friction is recorded. The test sample is then heated at 700 F. with continuous recording of the friction. This gives a boundary frictiontemperature profile for the experimental fluid over this temperature range. The base stock was also tested for control purposes. When the mixture of Example 2 was tested by this procedure on M-5O tool steel, the observed coefiicient of friction was substantially lower than that for the base fluid over the temperature range from 340 to 700 F. Moreover a decrease in the coefiicient of friction began at 340 F. with the resultant admixture and not until 480 F. with the base stock.
The decrease in coefficient of friction indicates an improved performance in Falex tests for the compositions of this invention.
