Definitions

  • Lubricants undergo decomposition via oxidation under conditions of high temperature and shear.
  • the addition of antioxidants to lubricant formulations can mitigate oxidative degradation, significantly enhancing the performance and overall lifetime of the lubricant. While numerous oil-soluble antioxidants, particularly hindered phenolic compounds and
  • diphenylamine derivatives have been employed to protect lubricant formulations against oxidative degradation, these additives are often toxic. Due to their limited oil-solubility, other hydrophilic phenolic compounds have remained largely unexplored as lubricant antioxidants (e.g., kojic acid, ferulic acid, salicylic acid, curcuminoids and catechols).
  • oil-soluble lubricant additives which are based on biodegradable chemicals.
  • Certain embodiments of the invention provide a compound of formula (I):
  • Ri and R 2 are each independently (C 5 -C 3 o)alkyl or (C5-C 3 o)alkenyl;
  • L is a linking group that comprises one or more antioxidant groups.
  • Certain embodiments of the invention also provide a lubricating oil composition
  • a lubricating oil composition comprising a lubricating oil base stock and a compound of formula (I) as described herein.
  • Certain embodiments of the invention provide a lubricating oil composition prepared by combining a lubricating oil base stock and a compound of formula (I) as described herein. Certain embodiments of the invention also provide a method for reducing the oxidative degradation of a lubricating oil composition, comprising adding to the lubricating oil
  • composition a compound of formula (I) as described herein.
  • Certain embodiments of the invention provide a method for extending the lifetime of a lubricating oil composition in a system, comprising adding to the lubricating oil composition a compound of formula (I) as described herein.
  • the invention also provides processes and intermediates disclosed herein that are useful for preparing compounds of formula (I), or salts thereof.
  • intermediates include compounds of formula (I), wherein Ri and R 2 are each independently H or a protecting group, such as a (Ci-C 4 )alkyl.
  • Figure 1 Method for coupling oleophilic chains to antioxidant-containing diacids to yield oil-soluble antioxidants.
  • the variable“R” may be“Ri” or“R 2 ” as defined herein; and the variable“Y” represents certain embodiments of“L” as defined herein (see, e.g., formula (la)).

From left: ferulic adipic diacid (3); ferulic oxalic diacid (6); salicylic adipic diacid (9); C8C10 ferulic adipic diester (4); C8C10 ferulic oxalic diester (14); and C8C10 salicylic adipic diester (19). The concentration is 1 mg/mL.
  • Described herein is the development of alternative compounds that may be used as lubricant additives to enhance the performance of lubricating oils and that have reduced toxicity.
  • a series of diacid intermediates shown to withstand high temperatures were developed using bifunctional water-soluble antioxidants.
  • the oil-solubility of these compounds was then enhanced through the conjugation of long-chain alcohols (or fatty acids) via standard carbodiimide coupling. Because these materials are based on biodegradable chemicals, they are less toxic as compared to conventional additives, such as hindered phenolic compounds and diphenylamine derivatives.
