Definitions

  • a class of dithiophosphoric acid ester derivatives has been found to possess a surprising lubricating additive trifunctionality, in that they function as effective extreme pressure agents, antioxidants and ashless dispersants when present in 0.5 to 10 percent by weight in lubricating oil compositions.
  • These additives are N- substituted, S-aminomethyl dithiophosphates, wherein said substituent is selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyl-substituted amine, and hydrocarbyl-substituted succinimide, and said hydrocarbyl-substituents contain at least 40 carbon atoms. They have the additional advantage of being ashless.
  • the dithiophosphates of the present invention are 0,0-diesters of dithiophosphoric acid. These dithiophosphates are alkyl, aryl, alkaryl or aralkyl diesters of dithiophosphoric acid.
  • the N-substituted, S- aminomethyl dithiophosphates of the present invention are derived from the dithiophosphates by concensing the 0,0-diester of dithiophosphoric acid with formaldehyde, or another aldehyde, and a hydrocarbylsubstituted amine, polyamine, or hydrocarbylsubstituted succinimide of a polyamine. The condensation is believed to proceed according to the following reaction:
  • R and R are alkyl, aryl, alkaryl or aralkyl radicals, or heteroatom-substituted hydrocarbyl radicals, of from low to moderate molecular weight and they may be the same or different.
  • the 0,0-diester of dithiophosphoric acid is produced by the reaction of phosphorus pentasulfide with an alcohol, mixture of alcohols, or alkylphenol from which R and R are derived.
  • R and R can be alkyl, aryl, alkaryl or aralkyl groups of from about 1 to about 20 carbon atoms.
  • R and R can also be derived from ether-capped polyloxyalkylene glycols.
  • R and R are hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl groups of relatively low molecular weight, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, amyl, hexyl, cyclohexyl, tetradecyl, dodecyl, decyl, octadecyl, phenyl, naphthyl, methyl phenyl, butyl phenyl, isooctyl, polypropenyl, polyisobutenyl, etc.
  • the aldehyde which is the preferred condensing agent for the preparation of the products of this invention is formaldehyde, in which case R is hydrogen.
  • formaldehyde may be replaced by other aldehydes, for example, benzaldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, butyraldehyde, propionaldehyde, :acetaldehyde, valeraldehyde, hexaldehyde, etc., in which case R is a hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl group.
  • HNXY represents a substituted primary or secondary amine of relatively high molecular weight (SOD-10,000).
  • X and Y are radicals of which one may be hydrogen, but at least one is chosen from the group consisting of hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyl-substituted amine and hydrocarbyl-substituted succinimide of a polyamine. Consequently, the reactant HNXY is a hydrocarbyl-substituted amine or polyamine, or a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinimide of a polyamine.
  • Hydrocarbyl denotes a monovalent organic radical composed of carbon and hydrogen, except for minor, insubstantial, sometimes adventitious, amounts of other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, halogen, etc., which may be aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic, or combinations thereof, e.g., aralkyl.
  • the hydrocarbyl group will be relatively free of aliphatic unsaturation, i.e., ethylenic and acetylenic, particularly acetylenic unsaturation.
  • the hydrocarbyl substituent in HNXY contains an average of at least 40 and preferably less than an average of 300 carbon atoms. It is preferably aliphatic, having preferably from zero to two sites of ethylenic unsaturation and most preferably from zero to one such site. Hydrocarbyl groups derived from a polyolefin, itself derived from olefins (normally l-olefins) of from two to six carbon atoms (ethylene being copolymerized with a higher olefin), or from a higher molecular weight petroleum-derived hydrocarbon, are preferred, and of these, polyisobutene containing from 40 to about 100 carbon atoms is most preferred.
  • Illustrative sources for the high molecular weight hydrocarbyl substituents are petroleum mineral oils such as naphthenic bright stocks, polypropylene, polyisobutylene, poly-l-butene, copolymers of ethylene and propylene, poly-l-pentene, poly-4-methyl-l-pentene, poly-l-hexene, poly-3- methylbutene-l, etc.
  • the hydrocarbyl-substituted amines are derived from lower molecular weight amines (LMW amine), preferably alkylene polyamines and polyalkylene polyamines, by, for example, the reaction of a halogenated hydrocarbon with the LMW amine.
  • LMW amines include ethylenediamine, methylamine, 2- aminoethyl piperazine, decylamine, diethylenetriamine, octadecylamine, di(trimethylene) triamine, ethylene dipiperazine, dipropylenetriamine, piperazine, triethylenetetramine, tripropylenetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine, pentaethylenehexamine, etc.
  • the LMW amines encompass substituted and alkylsubstituted amines, e.g., N-methylethylenediamine, hydroxyethyl piperazine, N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine, N,N-dimethylpropylenediamine, N,N-dimethyldiamino propane, N-hydroxyethyl ethylenediamine, etc.
  • Amines having up to about 12 amino nitrogens and up to about 36 carbon atoms are especially preferred LMW amines.
  • the hydrocarbyl-substituted amines are prepared, in general, by the reaction of halogenated hydrocarbon with the LMW amine. Details of such preparations and further description of certain hydrocarbyl amines can be found in Hotten and Anderson US. Pat. No. 3,565,804.
  • the composition is a mixture of materials having various structures and molecular weights. Therefore, in referring to molecular weight, average molecular weights are intended. Furthermore, when speaking of a particular hydrocarbyl group, it is intended that the group include the mixture that is normally contained with materials which are commercially available; that is, polyolefins are known to have a range of molecular weights. Furthermore, depending on the method of preparation, the end group of the polymer may vary and may be terminated, not only with an isobutene group, but also with a 1- or 2-butene group. In addition.
  • alkylene polyamines which are commercially available are frequently mixtures of various alkylene polyamines and branched chain isomers having one or two species dominating.
  • pentaethylene hexamine and triethylene tetramine.
  • hydrocarbyl-substituted tetraethylene pentamine which is the preferred amine, it is intended not only to include the pure compound, but those mixtures which are obtained with commercially available alkylene polyamines.
  • the product will be a mixture of the various possible isomers.
  • hydrocarbyl-substituted succinimides which find use as nitrogen substituents in the N-substituted, S- aminomethyl dithiophosphate are prepared by first making a monohydrocarbyl succinic acid or anhydride derivative and then reacting the resultant anhydride or acid with a polyamine.
  • the mono-hydrocarbyl succinic acids or anhydrides are prepared by forming the adduct of maleic anhydride with a suitable olefin polymer, chlorinated hydrocarbon, etc. This reaction proceeds upon mixing and heating ofthe components at temperatures in the range of from about l00-200C.
  • the preparation of these mono-hydrocarbyl succinimides is then effected by the reaction of, for example, mono-hydrocarbyl succinic anhydride with such LMW primary amines or polyamines containing a primary amino nitrogen atom as ethylamine, propylamine, butylamine, tetraethylene pentamine, triethylene tetramine.
  • the preferred succinimides are polyisobutenyl suc cinimides prepared by reaction of a substituted succinic acid or anhydride derived from a polybutene having at least 40 carbon atoms and tetraethylene pentamine or triethylene tetramine.
  • the succinic acid or anhydride and the polyamine are preferably reacted in approximately equal molar ratio to obtain the succinimide product.
  • Example 1 650 g. of polyisobutenyl ethylene diamine (80 percent concentrate in a 100 SSU at 100F. neutral oil), wherein the number average molecular weight of the polyisobutenyl was 1,400 (average carbon number of 100), was diluted with 300 ml of benzene. 37 g. of a 37 percent aqueous CH O solution was added, whereupon the temperature rose from 75 to 87F. The mixture was stirred one-half hour and 120 g. of di(isooctyl)dithiophosphoric acid was added in 100 ml. of benzene. The temperature rose to 107F, whereupon heat was applied and the mixture was stirred for 5 hours at l70-l80F. 150 g. of a 100 SSU at 100F. neutral petroleum oil was added, and the product stripped of solvent at 220F for 3 minutes. Percent phosphorus, 1.04.
  • Example 2 700 g. of polyisobutenyl succinimide of ethylene diamine (as 50 percent concentrate in 100 SSU at 100F. neutral petroleum oil), wherein the number average molecular weight of the polyisobutenyl was 950, was diluted with 200 ml of benzene. 10.5 g. of paraformaldehyde was added and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour at l20l30F. 120 g. of di(isooctyl)dithiophosphoric acid was added in 50 ml. of benzene. The mixture was heated for four hours at 185F and stripped at 210F for 4 minutes. Percent phosphorus, 1.1 percent.
  • Example 3 830 g. of a 50 percent concentrate of polyisobutenyl succinimide of tetraethylene pentamine, wherein the number average molecular weight of the polyisobutenyl was 950, was diluted with 250 ml. of benzene. 8.5 grams of paraformaldehyde was added and the mixture was stirred for one hour at 130F. 9.6 g. of a di(isooctyl)dithiophosphoric acid in 50 ml. of benzene was then added and the mixture was heated for five hours at 190F. The product was stripped at 210F for 5 minutes. Percent phosphorus, 0.88 percent.
  • Example 4 Analogous to Example 3, using a bis(polypropenyl phenol) dithiophosphoric acid.
  • Lubricant Composition The lubricating oils which comprise the basis for the composition of this invention are those oily or greasy materials employed in lubrication. Examples of these materials are natural and synthetic oils and greases made from these oils, and synthetic oils.
  • Synthetic oils include alkylene polymers, such as polymers of propylene, butylene, etc., and mixtures thereof; alkylene oxide-type polymers, e.g., alkylene oxide polymers prepared by polymerization of alkylene oxide in the presence of water or alcohols, such as propylene oxide polymer, ethylene oxide polymer; carboxylic acid esters, such as those which are prepared by esterifying carboxylic acid, e.g., adipic acid, suberic acid, fumaric acid, etc. with alcohols such as butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, pentaerythritol, etc.; polymers of silicon; alkylbiphenyl ethers and other ethers, etc.
  • the base oils can be used individually or in combinations wherever miscible or whenever made so by use of mutual solvents. Oils of lubricating viscosity generally have viscosities of 35-50,000 SUS at F.
  • the lubricating compositions of the present invention contain a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity and will also contain a functional amount, from 0.1 to 10 percent by weight, of the N-substituted, S- aminomethyl dithiophosphate of the present invention. In concentrates, the weight percent of this additive will usually range from about 20 to 60 percent by weight.
  • these lubricating compositions can also contain other lubricating oil and grease additives such as oiliness agents, extreme pressure agents, rust inhibitors, other oxidation inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, viscosity index improving agents, dyes, detergents, dispersants, etc.
  • oiliness agents such as oiliness agents, extreme pressure agents, rust inhibitors, other oxidation inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, viscosity index improving agents, dyes, detergents, dispersants, etc.
  • oiliness agents such as oiliness agents, extreme pressure agents, rust inhibitors, other oxidation inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, viscosity index improving agents, dyes, detergents, dispersants, etc.
  • oils to be used in an internal combustion engine the total amount of these additives will range from about 0.1-20 percent by weight, and more usually from about 0.5-10 weight percent.
  • the individual additives may vary in amounts from about 0.01l0 weight percent of the total composition. In concentrates, the weight percent of these additives will usually range from about 20-60 weight percent. Evaluation
  • the Falex test is a test for extreme pressure properties.
  • stationary vee-blocks are pressed on either side of a rotating pin by a nutcracker arrangement of lever arms.
  • Test specimens are immersed in a tank of test lubricant which is at a known temperature. Loading is automatically increased until seizure occurs. This failure point is indicated by shearing of the pin holding the vertical shaft. The load at shear in pounds. is taken as a quantitative measure of the extreme pressure property of the oil composition.
  • Mineral oils may fail at 600-900 pounds. Oils with EP additives will fail at l,000-2,000 pounds. The wear is determined by conducting the test at constant load and measuring the pin weight loss in milligrams.
  • the N-substituted, S-aminomethyl dithiophosphates have also been tested for antiwear properties by means of the well-known 4-Ball Test.
  • 4-Ball Test In this test, three /z-Cliameter steel balls are clamped together and immersed in the test lubricant.

5 Claims, No Drawings MULTIFUNCTIONAL LUBRICATING OIL ADDITIVE CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION The present application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 255,605, filed May 22, 1972 and now abandoned.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention Auto manufacturers report a number of cases of extreme oil thickening have occurred in customer service with certain engine models and crankcase oils. These oils, which are excellent for light-duty, stop-and-go service, oxidized and thickened under conditions of sustained high speed, heavy load operations. It is not possible to properly lubricate an engine under conditions of extreme lubricating oil viscosity and as a consequence extensive damage to the engine can occur.
Measurements show that temperatures in excess of 300F. are not uncommon oil temperatures in engines operating at high speeds under conditions of heavy loads, as in trailer towing. 510F. can be added to oil temperature by power consuming options such as air conditioning. Further increases in engine operating temperatures are caused by changes in engine design to reduce exhaust emissions. For example, high temperature thermostats, reduced compressin ratio, compression spark timing, and lean air-fuel ratios tend to either increase the thermal loads on the engine cooling system or increase the operating temperature. Oil oxidation is promoted and oil thickening is thereby accelerated by lean air-fuel ratios which produce blow-by gases containing high concentrations of oxides of nitrogen. It is believed that the oil thickening problem is related to unusually high engine temperatures and resultant oxidation. The trend toward the operation of passenger cars at higher sustained road speeds and heavier load conditions makes this a potentially serious problem in the formulation of ashless crankcase oils.
Very little is known about the role of oil composition in oxidative oil thickening. It has been established, Lubrican'on, Vol. 57, No. 7, 1971, that certain viscosity increases in crankcase oils under high load conditions are correlated withoil oxidation. The mechanism of oil thickening is a very complex chemical process involving primarily oxidation and nitration of the oil. The cited reference also shows that additional zinc dithiophosphate, which is a commonly used oxidation inhibitor, offers little benefit towards improving the thicken ing resistance of motor oils, in some types of formulations. within the lubricant performance range of commercial interest. It is also believed that the presence of large amounts of ash-containing basic detergent/dispersant, which is needed for low temperature anti-sludge performance, fosters oxidative thickening of the crankcase oils at high temperature.
Consequently, it is necessary to find other oxidation inhibitors and dispersants for lubricating oils which improve the antioxidant properties of the lubricating oils as well as low temperature anti-sludge dispersancy. These additives are preferably ashless. It is found that a formaldehyde of condensation products of formadlehyde and certain dithiophosphoric acid esters with certain high molecular weight amines and imides, which are hereafter described as N-substituted, S- aminomethyl dithiophosphates, form an improved class of antioxidants/dispersants for lubricating oil compositions. The N-substituted, S-aminomethyl dithiophos phates were also found to function as extreme pressure agents.
2. Description of the Prior Art US. Pat. No. 2,586,656 describes certain low molecular weight S-aminoalkylidene dithiophosphoric acid triesters which may serve as antioxidant additives in lubricating oil compositions.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A class of dithiophosphoric acid ester derivatives has been found to possess a surprising lubricating additive trifunctionality, in that they function as effective extreme pressure agents, antioxidants and ashless dispersants when present in 0.5 to 10 percent by weight in lubricating oil compositions. These additives are N- substituted, S-aminomethyl dithiophosphates, wherein said substituent is selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyl-substituted amine, and hydrocarbyl-substituted succinimide, and said hydrocarbyl-substituents contain at least 40 carbon atoms. They have the additional advantage of being ashless.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The dithiophosphates of the present invention are 0,0-diesters of dithiophosphoric acid. These dithiophosphates are alkyl, aryl, alkaryl or aralkyl diesters of dithiophosphoric acid. The N-substituted, S- aminomethyl dithiophosphates of the present invention are derived from the dithiophosphates by concensing the 0,0-diester of dithiophosphoric acid with formaldehyde, or another aldehyde, and a hydrocarbylsubstituted amine, polyamine, or hydrocarbylsubstituted succinimide of a polyamine. The condensation is believed to proceed according to the following reaction:
1 mono I-lN-X 1120 \SH it i mo n o \S-CHNX R and R are alkyl, aryl, alkaryl or aralkyl radicals, or heteroatom-substituted hydrocarbyl radicals, of from low to moderate molecular weight and they may be the same or different. The 0,0-diester of dithiophosphoric acid is produced by the reaction of phosphorus pentasulfide with an alcohol, mixture of alcohols, or alkylphenol from which R and R are derived. R and R can be alkyl, aryl, alkaryl or aralkyl groups of from about 1 to about 20 carbon atoms. R and R can also be derived from ether-capped polyloxyalkylene glycols. Preferably, R and R are hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl groups of relatively low molecular weight, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, amyl, hexyl, cyclohexyl, tetradecyl, dodecyl, decyl, octadecyl, phenyl, naphthyl, methyl phenyl, butyl phenyl, isooctyl, polypropenyl, polyisobutenyl, etc.
The aldehyde which is the preferred condensing agent for the preparation of the products of this invention is formaldehyde, in which case R is hydrogen. However, formaldehyde may be replaced by other aldehydes, for example, benzaldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, butyraldehyde, propionaldehyde, :acetaldehyde, valeraldehyde, hexaldehyde, etc., in which case R is a hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl group.
HNXY represents a substituted primary or secondary amine of relatively high molecular weight (SOD-10,000). X and Y are radicals of which one may be hydrogen, but at least one is chosen from the group consisting of hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyl-substituted amine and hydrocarbyl-substituted succinimide of a polyamine. Consequently, the reactant HNXY is a hydrocarbyl-substituted amine or polyamine, or a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinimide of a polyamine.
Hydrocarbyl, as used herein, denotes a monovalent organic radical composed of carbon and hydrogen, except for minor, insubstantial, sometimes adventitious, amounts of other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, halogen, etc., which may be aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic, or combinations thereof, e.g., aralkyl. Preferably the hydrocarbyl group will be relatively free of aliphatic unsaturation, i.e., ethylenic and acetylenic, particularly acetylenic unsaturation.
The hydrocarbyl substituent in HNXY contains an average of at least 40 and preferably less than an average of 300 carbon atoms. It is preferably aliphatic, having preferably from zero to two sites of ethylenic unsaturation and most preferably from zero to one such site. Hydrocarbyl groups derived from a polyolefin, itself derived from olefins (normally l-olefins) of from two to six carbon atoms (ethylene being copolymerized with a higher olefin), or from a higher molecular weight petroleum-derived hydrocarbon, are preferred, and of these, polyisobutene containing from 40 to about 100 carbon atoms is most preferred. Illustrative sources for the high molecular weight hydrocarbyl substituents are petroleum mineral oils such as naphthenic bright stocks, polypropylene, polyisobutylene, poly-l-butene, copolymers of ethylene and propylene, poly-l-pentene, poly-4-methyl-l-pentene, poly-l-hexene, poly-3- methylbutene-l, etc.
The hydrocarbyl-substituted amines are derived from lower molecular weight amines (LMW amine), preferably alkylene polyamines and polyalkylene polyamines, by, for example, the reaction of a halogenated hydrocarbon with the LMW amine. Examples of such LMW amines include ethylenediamine, methylamine, 2- aminoethyl piperazine, decylamine, diethylenetriamine, octadecylamine, di(trimethylene) triamine, ethylene dipiperazine, dipropylenetriamine, piperazine, triethylenetetramine, tripropylenetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine, pentaethylenehexamine, etc. The LMW amines encompass substituted and alkylsubstituted amines, e.g., N-methylethylenediamine, hydroxyethyl piperazine, N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine, N,N-dimethylpropylenediamine, N,N-dimethyldiamino propane, N-hydroxyethyl ethylenediamine, etc. Amines having up to about 12 amino nitrogens and up to about 36 carbon atoms are especially preferred LMW amines. The hydrocarbyl-substituted amines are prepared, in general, by the reaction of halogenated hydrocarbon with the LMW amine. Details of such preparations and further description of certain hydrocarbyl amines can be found in Hotten and Anderson US. Pat. No. 3,565,804.
In preparing the compositions of this invention, rarely will a single compound be employed. With both the polymers and the petroleum-derived hydrocarbyl groups, the composition is a mixture of materials having various structures and molecular weights. Therefore, in referring to molecular weight, average molecular weights are intended. Furthermore, when speaking of a particular hydrocarbyl group, it is intended that the group include the mixture that is normally contained with materials which are commercially available; that is, polyolefins are known to have a range of molecular weights. Furthermore, depending on the method of preparation, the end group of the polymer may vary and may be terminated, not only with an isobutene group, but also with a 1- or 2-butene group. In addition. alkylene polyamines which are commercially available are frequently mixtures of various alkylene polyamines and branched chain isomers having one or two species dominating. Thus, in commerically availabletetraethylene pentamine, there will also be small amounts of pentaethylene hexamine and triethylene tetramine. In referring to hydrocarbyl-substituted tetraethylene pentamine, which is the preferred amine, it is intended not only to include the pure compound, but those mixtures which are obtained with commercially available alkylene polyamines. Finally, as indicated, in preparing the compounds of this invention, where the various nitrogen atoms of the alkylene polyamine are not equivalent, the product will be a mixture of the various possible isomers.
The hydrocarbyl-substituted succinimides which find use as nitrogen substituents in the N-substituted, S- aminomethyl dithiophosphate are prepared by first making a monohydrocarbyl succinic acid or anhydride derivative and then reacting the resultant anhydride or acid with a polyamine. These compounds are described in more detail in numerous references in the art. See, for example, US. Pat. No. 3,219,666, as well as US. Pat. Nos. 3,018,250; 3,087,936; 3,172,892; 3,630,902; and 3,202,678.
The mono-hydrocarbyl succinic acids or anhydrides are prepared by forming the adduct of maleic anhydride with a suitable olefin polymer, chlorinated hydrocarbon, etc. This reaction proceeds upon mixing and heating ofthe components at temperatures in the range of from about l00-200C. The preparation of these mono-hydrocarbyl succinimides is then effected by the reaction of, for example, mono-hydrocarbyl succinic anhydride with such LMW primary amines or polyamines containing a primary amino nitrogen atom as ethylamine, propylamine, butylamine, tetraethylene pentamine, triethylene tetramine.
The preparation of certain of the hydrocarbylsubstituted succinimides of use in the present invention has been described in US. Pat. No. 3,018,291 and the other cited US. Patents. In the preparation of these succinimides, LMW polyalkylene polyamines having up to about 12 amino nitrogens are especially preferred. It is understood that the reaction products comprise amides, amine salts, and amidines, as well as the principal imide.
The preferred succinimides are polyisobutenyl suc cinimides prepared by reaction of a substituted succinic acid or anhydride derived from a polybutene having at least 40 carbon atoms and tetraethylene pentamine or triethylene tetramine. The succinic acid or anhydride and the polyamine are preferably reacted in approximately equal molar ratio to obtain the succinimide product.
Method of Preparation Typically, one mol of substituted amine is diluted with benzene, approximately 0.9-1.1 mols of CH O are added, and stirred for about one hour at l-l50F. Approximately 1 mol of dithiophosphoric acid is then added, and the mixture is heated for 3-5 hours at l70-190F. The product is then stripped of solvent and analyzed.
Example 1 650 g. of polyisobutenyl ethylene diamine (80 percent concentrate in a 100 SSU at 100F. neutral oil), wherein the number average molecular weight of the polyisobutenyl was 1,400 (average carbon number of 100), was diluted with 300 ml of benzene. 37 g. of a 37 percent aqueous CH O solution was added, whereupon the temperature rose from 75 to 87F. The mixture was stirred one-half hour and 120 g. of di(isooctyl)dithiophosphoric acid was added in 100 ml. of benzene. The temperature rose to 107F, whereupon heat was applied and the mixture was stirred for 5 hours at l70-l80F. 150 g. of a 100 SSU at 100F. neutral petroleum oil was added, and the product stripped of solvent at 220F for 3 minutes. Percent phosphorus, 1.04.
Example 2 700 g. of polyisobutenyl succinimide of ethylene diamine (as 50 percent concentrate in 100 SSU at 100F. neutral petroleum oil), wherein the number average molecular weight of the polyisobutenyl was 950, was diluted with 200 ml of benzene. 10.5 g. of paraformaldehyde was added and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour at l20l30F. 120 g. of di(isooctyl)dithiophosphoric acid was added in 50 ml. of benzene. The mixture was heated for four hours at 185F and stripped at 210F for 4 minutes. Percent phosphorus, 1.1 percent.
Example 3 830 g. of a 50 percent concentrate of polyisobutenyl succinimide of tetraethylene pentamine, wherein the number average molecular weight of the polyisobutenyl was 950, was diluted with 250 ml. of benzene. 8.5 grams of paraformaldehyde was added and the mixture was stirred for one hour at 130F. 9.6 g. of a di(isooctyl)dithiophosphoric acid in 50 ml. of benzene was then added and the mixture was heated for five hours at 190F. The product was stripped at 210F for 5 minutes. Percent phosphorus, 0.88 percent.
Example 4 Analogous to Example 3, using a bis(polypropenyl phenol) dithiophosphoric acid. Lubricant Composition The lubricating oils which comprise the basis for the composition of this invention are those oily or greasy materials employed in lubrication. Examples of these materials are natural and synthetic oils and greases made from these oils, and synthetic oils. Synthetic oils include alkylene polymers, such as polymers of propylene, butylene, etc., and mixtures thereof; alkylene oxide-type polymers, e.g., alkylene oxide polymers prepared by polymerization of alkylene oxide in the presence of water or alcohols, such as propylene oxide polymer, ethylene oxide polymer; carboxylic acid esters, such as those which are prepared by esterifying carboxylic acid, e.g., adipic acid, suberic acid, fumaric acid, etc. with alcohols such as butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, pentaerythritol, etc.; polymers of silicon; alkylbiphenyl ethers and other ethers, etc. The base oils can be used individually or in combinations wherever miscible or whenever made so by use of mutual solvents. Oils of lubricating viscosity generally have viscosities of 35-50,000 SUS at F.
The lubricating compositions of the present invention contain a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity and will also contain a functional amount, from 0.1 to 10 percent by weight, of the N-substituted, S- aminomethyl dithiophosphate of the present invention. In concentrates, the weight percent of this additive will usually range from about 20 to 60 percent by weight.
In addition to the N-substituted, S-aminomethyl dithiophosphate, these lubricating compositions can also contain other lubricating oil and grease additives such as oiliness agents, extreme pressure agents, rust inhibitors, other oxidation inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, viscosity index improving agents, dyes, detergents, dispersants, etc. Usually, for oils to be used in an internal combustion engine, the total amount of these additives will range from about 0.1-20 percent by weight, and more usually from about 0.5-10 weight percent. The individual additives may vary in amounts from about 0.01l0 weight percent of the total composition. In concentrates, the weight percent of these additives will usually range from about 20-60 weight percent. Evaluation The Falex test results are given in Table l. The Falex test is a test for extreme pressure properties. In this test stationary vee-blocks are pressed on either side of a rotating pin by a nutcracker arrangement of lever arms. Test specimens are immersed in a tank of test lubricant which is at a known temperature. Loading is automatically increased until seizure occurs. This failure point is indicated by shearing of the pin holding the vertical shaft. The load at shear in pounds. is taken as a quantitative measure of the extreme pressure property of the oil composition. Mineral oils may fail at 600-900 pounds. Oils with EP additives will fail at l,000-2,000 pounds. The wear is determined by conducting the test at constant load and measuring the pin weight loss in milligrams.
The N-substituted, S-aminomethyl dithiophosphates have also been tested for antiwear properties by means of the well-known 4-Ball Test. In this test, three /z-Cliameter steel balls are clamped together and immersed in the test lubricant. A fourth ball is then rotated at about 1,800 rpm in contact with the other three balls. A 2050 kg. load is applied, forcing the rotating ball against the three stationary balls. The test is run for 60-30 minutes and the sizes of the wear scars on the three stationary balls are measured and the average scar size in millimeters reported. The smaller the scar, the greater the anti-wear properties of the test lubricant. These EP properties are reported in Table I and Il. Note that reference oils containing well-known EP agents give Falex Shear test results of 850-],450 pounds. Similar properties are obtained with the additives of the present invention, but the Falex wear is much less with the additives of the present invention. This excellent wear result is confirmed in the 4-Ball test results given in Table ll.

The Oxidator B test is our laboratory designation for a test measuring resistance to oxidation by means of a Dorntetype oxygen absorption apparatus (R.W.Dornte, Oxidation of While Oils, Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, Vol. 28, p. 26, 1936). Normally, the conditions are 1 atmosphere of pure oxygen at 340F and one reports the hours to absorption of 1,000 ml. of 0 by 100 grams of oil. In the Oxidator B test a catalyst is used and a reference additive package is included in the oil. The catalyst is a mixture of soluble metal-naphthenates simulating the average metal analysis of used crankcase oils. Thus, the Oxidator B method measures the response to conventional inhibitors in a simulated application. The results are given in Table 111 where the composition of the present invention is compared to compositions containing other dithiophosphates. Direct comparisons are made in Table III between Additives l and 3, 4 and 5, and 6 and 7, which correspond to the Zinc containing additive and the corresponding ashless antioxidant of the present invention. These results are uniformly outstanding in favor of the N-substituted, S-aminomethyl dithiophosphates.

The N-substituted, S-aminomethyl dithiophosphates were also found to be noncorrosive towards copper and lead bearings, as well as being antioxidants, dispersants and extreme pressure agents. The unique polyfunctionality of high molecular weight condensation products of the present invention is in sharp contrast with the low molecular weight analogs, which, for example, cannot function as lubricating oil detergents/dispersants.
