Description
C~ 3~)1 2 ~ 7 ~ ~ ~ 3 ORGA_IC PHOSPHATES AND l`HEIR PREPARATION
This invention relates to novel organic phosphate ester comhinations and their preparation, combinations which are particularly useful ac wear inhibitors in fuels, lubricants and functional fluids.
A need exists for ashless (i.e., metal-free) wear inhi-bitors for use in lubricating oils and oil-based functional fluids subjected to high temperatures during actual service conditions.
This need is particularly acutQ in the case of syn-thetic diester-based lubricants for use as gas turbine lubricants. A need also exists for ashless wear inhibitors for use in middle distillate fuels such as diesel fuels, jet fuels and turbine fuels.
This invention provides, in one of its embodiments, a combination of aryl phosphates deemed suitable for use in fulfilling the aforesaid needs. The combination is composed of (i) at ieast one fuel- and/or oil-soluble aryl phosphate of the formula (RO)3PO
wherein each R is, independently, phenyl or an alkyl-substi-tuted phenyl group; and (ii) at least one fuel- and/or oil-soluble aryl polyphosphate of the formula O O
RO-[-P-O-Ar-O-]n~P(OR) 2 OR
wherein each R is, independently, phenyl or an alkyl-substituLed phenyl group, Ar is m-phenylene or an alkyl-substituted m-phenylene group, and n is a whole or number from l to 4; said combination containing from 2 to 30~ by weight of component (i). When the above formula represents a mixture of the depicted polyphosphates, n is a whole or fractional number from l to 4, as n represents the average composition of the mixture.
Among the advantages of these combinations is the ease with which they can be formed pursuant to another em-bodiment of this invention. In particular, the foregoing cast~ ~r-~3~l 2070123 combinations can be formed by a process which comprises (a) reacting from about 1.9 to about 2.1 equivalents of phenol and/or alkyl~substituted phenol with one equivalent of phos-phoryl trihalide in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, and ~b) reacting the intermediate product formed in (a) with from about 0.9 to about 1.1 equivalents of resorcinol and/or alkyl-substituted resorcinol per equivalent of phosphoryl trihalide employed in (a) again in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst. Although other modes of addition can be used, it is preferable in (a) to add the phenol and/or al-kyl-substituted phenol to the phosphoryl trihalide, and in (b) to add the resorcinol and/or alkyl-substituted resorci-nol to the intermediate product formed in (a). Non-limiting examples of suitable Lewis acid catalysts include AlCl3, AlBr3, FeCl3, FeBr3, BCl3, PCls, and MgCl2. In an alternate process, the Lewis acid catalyst is replaced by a stoichio-metric amount of a hydrog~n halide acceptor and a solvent is used. In step (a) a solution of phenol and/or an alkyl-sub-stituted phenol and hydrogen halide acceptor is added to a solution of the phosphoryl trihalide, and in step (b) a so-lution of resorcinol and/or an alkyl-substituted resorcinol and hydrogen halide acceptor is added to the intermediate product formed in step (a).
In still another embodiment, the foregoing combina-tions are formed by a process which comprises (a) reacting from about 0.9 to about 1.1 equivalents of resorcinol and/or alkyl-substituteclresorcinol with one equivalent of phospho ryl trihalide in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, and (b) reacting the intermediate product formed in (a) with from about 1.9 to about 2.1 equivalents of phenol and/or alkyl-substituted phenol per equivalent of phosphoryl tri-halide employed in (a) again in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst. Although other modes of addition can be used, it is preferable in ~a) and in (b) to add the resorcinolic and the phenolic reactants to the phosphoryl trihalide and to the reaction mixture formed in (a~, respectively. In an alternate process, the Lewis acid catalyst is replaced by a stoichiometric amount of a hydrogen halide acceptor and a 2~7al~3 Ca~ E~ (,3~-~
solvent is used. In step (a) a solution of resorcinol and/
or an alkyl-substituted resorcinol and hydrogen halide ac-ceptor is added to a solution of the phosphoryl trihalide, and in step (b) a solution of phenol and/or an alkyl-substi~
tuted phenol and hydrogen halide acceptor is added to the intermediate product formed in step (a).
In each of the above processes, it is preferred to employ the reactants in proportions such that there are at least 3.1 equivalents of ar-hydroxy groups (phenolic reac-tant plus resorcinolic reactant) per equivalent of phosphor-yl trihalide used.
Lubricant compositions which comprise a major pro-portion of oil of lubricating viscosity -- preferably a diester-based lubricating oil, i.e., a lubricating oil composed predominantly or entirely of one or more diester lubricating oils -- containing and a minor wear-inhibiting amount of a combination of phosphate esters (i) and lii) as described hereinabove, form the subject of another embodi-ment of this invention.
Another embodiment is middle distillate fuel compo-sitions which comprise a major proportion of a hydrocarbon-aceous middle distillate fuel and a minor wear-inhibiting amount of a combination of phosphate esters (i) and (ii) as described hereinabove.
In the various embodiments referred to above, most preferably each R is phenyl and Ar is m-phenylene. Like-wise, it is preferred that at least 50% by weight of the aryl polyphosphate corresponds to the above formula of com-ponent (ii) wherein n is 1. Particularly preferred are (1) compositions wherein each R is phenyl and at least 50% by weight of the aryl polyphosphate is m-phenylenebis(diphenyl phosphate), and (2) compositions wherein at least 60% by weight of the combination of phosphate esters is a combi-nation of m-phenylenebis~diphenyl phosphate) and triphenyl phosphate in a weight ratio of 1 to 35 parts of m-phenylene-bis(diphenyl phosphate) per each part by weiyht of triphenyl phosphate.
The above and other embodiments of this invention ~ 0 ~ 3 case EP-6351 ~ 4 will be still further apparent from the ensuing description and appended claims.
In forming the combination of aryl phosphates, use can be made of phenol and/or one or more alkyl phenols which contain from 1 to 5 alkyl groups on the ring. Each such alkyl group can contain up to about 18 carbon atoms with the proviso that the alkyl substituent(s) should not sterically hinder the hydroxyl group to such an extent that the substi-tuted phenol is incapable of reacting with the phosphoryl trihalide. Examples of suitable alkyl phenols include o~, m- and/or p-cresol; 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4-, and~or 3,5-~ylenol; o-, m-, and p-ethylphenol; p-tert-butylphenol;
p-tert-amylphenol; p-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenol; p-nonylphenol; p-decylphenol; 2,4,5-trimethylphenol; 2,3,4,5-tetramethylphenol; pentamethylphenol, etc. Cycloalkylphe-nols such as p-cyclohexylphenol can also be used. Mixtures of two or more different phenols are also suitable.
The phosphoryl trihalide used in forming the phos-phate combinations is preferably phosphoryl trichloride, but other halides such as the tribromide can be used.
Resorcinol is the preferred dihydroxybenzene reac-tant used in forming the phQsphate combinations. Howev2r alkyl-substituted resorcinols can be used again with the proviso that the compounds are not so sterically hindered as to be unable to undergo reaction on both hydroxyl groups with the intermediate formed from the reaction between the monohydric phenol and phosphoryl trihalide.
A few examples of alkyl-substituted resorcinols that can be used include 5-alkyl-1,3-dihydroxybenz~nes where the alkyl group has 1 to about 18 carbon atoms; 2-methyl-1,3-di-hydroxylbenzene;4-methyl-1,3-dihydroxylbenzene;4,5-dimeth-yl-1,3-dihydroxybenzene; and the like.
The reactions of (a) and (b) above are usually con-ducted at temperatures in the range of about 30C to about 200C. It is desirable and most economical to conduct these reactions without a solvent and in the presence of a cataly-tic amount of a Lewis acid. However, a suitable inert liq-uid solvent such as toluene, xylene, aromatic naphtha, or ~7~23 ~ 5 --the like can be used~
The amount of catalyst used is typically between 0.1 wt % and 10 wt % based upon the amount of phosphoryl trlha-lide. More preferred is 0.5 wt % to 5.0 wt % and most pre-ferred is 0.75 wt % to 2.00 wt %.
In place of the Lewis acid catalyst, an at least stoichiometric amount of a hydrogen halide acceptor can be used. Hydrogen halide acceptors which ar~ preferably used in the reactions of (a) and (b) above are typified by tertiary amines such as pyridine, pyrimidine, pyra~ine, triethylamine, tributylamine, and triphenylamine. Other known hydrogen halide acceptors are usable, however. ~t is most desirable to use an inert solvent for the reactions involving hydrogen halide acceptors in order to facilitate handling of the solid hydrohalide by-product. Suitable solvents are toluene, xylene, aromatic naphtha, or the like.
The fo~lowing examples illustrate various phosphate combinations of this invention, and methods which can be used for their synthesis.
A 912.87 g (9.70 mole) portion of phenol (Aldrih, redistilled) and a 766.65 g (5.00 mole) portion of POCl3 (Aldrich, 99%) were weighed into a dry, four-necked 5-L
flask in a glove box. The flask was then set~up in a hood with a mechanical paddle stirrer, a thermometer, a ylycol-cooled Friedrich condenser, an oil bath, and a rubber septum addition port. Exit gases from the condenser were passed through a trap and into an aqueous NaOH scrubber solution located on a balance. A slow nitrogen purge was maintained into the contents of the flask by a Teflon tube inserted through the rubber septum addition port.
The brownish gold solution was warmed to 33~C by the oil bath, and 1~.42 g (2.01 wt % based on POCl3) of AlCl3 (Aldrich) catalyst was cautiously added. The solution was 510wly heated to 116C over a seven hour period while 344.9 g of HCl (97.5% of theory3 collected in the exit gas scrubber. The solution was then cooled to room temperature, ~7~123 c~se l;`E~-G351 -- 6 ~
and a 291.79 g (2.65 mole) portion of resorcinol (Aldrich, recrystallized) was added (in a glove box). The reddish-purple mixture was then slowly heated to 170C over a five and one-half hour period while 172.1 g of HCl (B9.1% of theory) collected in the scrubber.
The viscous golden-yellow crude product was dissolved in toluene (2544.5 g), and the solution was shaken with 10 wt ~ aqueous NaQH (2x1000 g) and then tap water (3x1000 g) to obtain 3840.4 g of cloudy colorless organic phase. The solution was then dried over 125 g of anhydrous MgSO4. The liquid was decanted from the drying agent and passed through a bed (28 mm O.D. by 364 mm length) of 101.0 g activated silica gel (Aldrich, 70-230 mesh, 500 MZ/g, wet packed using toluene)~ The eluate was then stripped on a 15 rotary evaporator (95C/0.1 torr) to obtain 124207 g (87.2%
yield) of a slightly hazy, pale yellow fluid. This liquid was pumped through a 10-micron Teflon membrane filter to obtain 1227.57 g of a clear pale yellow product, properties of which are summarized in Table I hereinafter.
A 77.24 g (0.5037 mole) portion of POCl3 (Aldrich) and 148.6 g toluene were weighed into a l-L four-necked flask in a glove box. The flask was set~up in a hood and equipped with a paddle stirrer, thermometer, 500~mL addition funnel, and a glycol-cooled Friedrich condenser attached to a nitrogen bubbler. The flask was cooled with an ice bath while a solution of 90.07 g (0.957 mole) phenol (Aldrich, redistilled), 99.64 g (0O986 mole) triethylamine (TEA, Aldrich), and 101.94 g toluene was added from the additional funnel in 2.5 hr at 3-15C. After stirring for 15 minutes at 7-15~C, a hot (70-90C) clear blue solution of 30.51 g (0.277 mole) resorcinol (Aldrich, recrystallized) in 118.19 g (1.170 mole) TEA was pressured into the reaction flas~
through a stainless steel transfer needle from a capped bottle in 13 minutes at 15-29C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2.2 hr at 23-32C, and then 202.7 g of 5 wt ~
aqueous HCl was added followed by 39.6 g concentrated hydrochloric acid. The mixture was transferred to a Case EP-6351 2070123 separatory funnel, and the lower hazy yellow aqueous layer (514.8 g, pH 1-2) was removed. After washing with water (3x225 g), the cloudy organic phase (513.6 g) was dried over 10.1 g anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Upon standing for 16 hr, the addition of 6.8 g of activated silica gel (Aldrich, 70-230 mesh, 500 m2/g) immediately reduced the color of the yellow liquid. The mixture was gravity filtered through paper, and the pale-yellow filtrate as stripped on a rotary evaporator (100C/1 torr) to obtain 131.3 g (92% yield) of hazy light-yellow fluid. A clear liquid was obtained after pumping the product through a 10-micron membrane filter.
Table I, presented hereinafter, summarizes the properties of this product.
This experiment was conducted as described in Exam-ple 1. A 184.46 g (1.960 mole) portion of phenol was com-bined with 153.33 g (1.000 mole) of POCl3 in a 500-mL four necked-flask. The pale-yellow solution was warmed to 38~C, and 3.075 g (2.0 wt % based on POCl3) of MgCl2 was added, the pale-orange solution was then slowly heated with an electric mantle for 8.0 hr to a final temperature of 150~C. The cau-stic scrubber for the exit gases from the reaction increased in weight by 65.1 g (91% theory for HCl). The reaction flask was transflerred to a glove box where 57.26 g (0.520 mole) of white resorcinol (Aldrich, recrystallized) was added. The mixture was then slowly heated over three and one-half hours to a final temperature of 140C with the subsequent increase in the exit gas scrubber weight of 32.7 g (86.2% of theory for HCl). The dark brown viscous liquid (287.33 g) was dissolved in 557.29 g toluene and washed in a 2-L separatory funnel with 5.2 wt % aqueous NaOH (2x250 g). The organic phase was then washed with tap water (3x275 g) until the recovered aqueous phase reached a pH of 7. The cloudy organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate (30.46 g). The mixture was then gravity filtered through paper, and the clear, nearly colorless filtrate was stripped of solvent on a ro1ary evaporator (0.1 torr/90~C) to obtain 202.2 g (70.8% yield) of a slightly hazy pale-Case EP-6~51 2070123 yellow fluid. The liquid was pumped through a 10-micron Teflon membrane filter to obtain 193.36 g of a clear pale-yellow product. Properties of this sample are summarized in Table I below.
A 376.44 g (4.00 mole) portion of phenol is combined with 306.66 g (2.00 mole) of POCl3 in a 1-L four necked flask in a glove box. The light-orange solution is warmed to 40C
and 2.993 g (1.0 wt % based on POCl3) of pyridine (Baker) is added. The solution is heated with an electric mantle until gas evolution stops (11.0 hr/145C). The exit gas scrubber shows a weight increase of 139.8 g (95.9~ of theory for HCl).
A 114.51 g (1.04 mole) portion of resorcinol is added to the light-yellow reaction mixture in a glove box.
The solution is heated to 30C and 3.062 g (1.0 wt % based on POCl3) of magnesium chloride is added. The rusty-brown solution is heated until gas evolution stops (7.0 hr/149C).
The subsequent increase in the exit gas scrubber is 64.0 g (84% of theory for HCl). The light-yellow viscous liquid is dissolved in 1070 g toluene. The solution is washed in a 4-L
separatory funnel with dilute (2.8 wt %) aqueous NaOH (2x290 g) and then water (3x400 g). The cloudy organic phase is gravity filtered through paper to obtain a clear colorless filtrate. The filtrate is stripped on the rotary evaporator (0.1 torr/95C) to obtain 484.8 g t84.4% yield) of pale yellow cloudy liquid. The liquid is pumped through a 10-micron Teflon membrane filter to obtain 472.5 g of clear product. Properties of this sample are given in Table I.
A 188.56 g (2.00 moles) portion of phenol (Aldrich, redistilled) was combined with lS3.35 (1.00 mole) of POCl3 (Aldrich) in a 500-mL four-necked flask. The clear light-brown solution was warmed to 35C, and 3.039 g (1.98 wt %
based on POCl3) of aluminum chloride (Aldrich) was added. A
small exotherm increased the temperature to 42C as HCl evolution began. The clear red solution was then slowly heated with an electric mantle for 5 hours to a final tem-C~ls~ 351 207~23 g perature of 109~C. The caustic scrubber for the exit gases from the reaction increased in weight by 70.4 g (96.5% of theory for HCl). The reaction flask was transferred to a glove box where 55~04 g (0.500 mole) of resorcinol (Aldrich, recrystallized) was added. The mixture was then slowly heated over 7 hours to a final temperature of 158~C with the subsequent increase in the exit gas scrubber weight of 33.8 g (92.7% of theory for HCl). The light-orange viscous liquid (289.0 g) was dissolved in 467.8 g toluene and washed in a 2-L separatory funnel with 10 wt % aqueous NaOH (2x200 g). The cloudy organic phase was then washed with tap water (4x200g) until the recovered aqu~ous phase reached a pH of 6.5. The cloudy organic phase was dried over anhydrous mag-nesium sulfate (11.5 g). The mixture was then gravity fil-tered through paper, and the clear, nearly colorless fil-trate was stripped of solvent on a rotary evaporator (0.1 torr/90'C) to obtain 252.7 g (87.9% yield) of a slightly hazy pale-yellow fluid. The liquid was pumped through a 10-micron Teflon membrane filter to obtain 241.6 of clear pale-yellow product. The properties of this product aresummarized in Table I.

This experiment was carried out as described in Ex-ample 1. A 384.6 g (1.75 mole) portion of nonylphenol wascombined with 137.94 g (0.8996 mole) POCl3 in a l-L four-necked flask. A 2.78 g (0.0208 mole) portion of AlCl3 was added to the mixture at 29C, and the mixture was heated to 118C over 3 hr. After cooling to room temperature, a 52.5 g (0.477 mole) portion of resorcinol was added to the reac-tion mixture. The reaction was completed by heating to 170C in 2.5 hr. After cooling to 45~C, toluene (433.4 g) was added, and the solution was washed with 10 wt % aqueous NaOH (200 g) and twice with water. To obtain good phase separation for the last wash, the pH had to be adjusted to 10 with addition of aqueous NaOH. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous MgSO4 ~25.7 g), gravity filtered through paper, and the filtrate stripped on a rotary evaporator (0.1 torr/100C) to obtain 458.0 g (96.1% yield) of pale-yellow 0 oil. Properties are summarized in Table II below.
Example 6 was repeated replacing the nonylphenol with a mixture of phenol (91.30 g, 0.970 mole) and nonylphenol (213.75 g, 0.970 mole). A 153.32 g (1.00 mole) portion of POCl3, 58.36 g (0.530 mole) resorcinol and 3.130 g (0.023 mole) AlCl3 were used. The pale-yellow liquid Case EP~ 351. ~ 2 0 ~ O 1 2 3 product weighed 379.3 (93 .1 % yield). Table II sets forth physical properties of this product.
A 55.1 g (0.50 mole) porti~n of resorcinol (MCB, recrystallized, 99.93 area % by GC) was weighed into a dry four-necked l-L flask in a glove box. The flask was then set-up in a hood with a mechanical paddle stirrer, a thermometer, a rubber septum addition port, and a Friedrich water condenser. Exit gases from the condenser were passed through a dry glass trap and into an aqueous NaOH scrubber solution located on a balance. A slow nitrogen flow was maintained on the exit gas line during the r~action to prevent back-up of the scrubber solution.
A 153.3 g (1.00 mole, 93 ml) portion of POCl3 (Aldrich, 99%) was added to the flask by nitrogen pressure from a septum capped bottle using a stainless steel transfer needle. The easily stirred slurry was heated to 113C with less than 0.3 g of HCl being collected in the exit gas scrubber. After cooling to 40~C, a 1.493 g (0.0112 mole) portion of anhydrous AlCl3 (Aldrich) catalyst was added to the purple-brown liquid. The solution was slowly heated to 110C in 90 minutes while 37.5 g of HCl collected in the exit gas scrubber. The yellow-brown mixture was cooled to 63C and a 194.2 g (2.064 mole) portion of phenol (Aldrich, redistilled) was added in 15 min. The solution was heated to 155C in 2 hr while an additional 66.0 g (94.6% of theory for HCl) of HCl was collected in the scrubber. Addition of another 0.93 g (0.0070 mole) AlCl3 at 120-129C did not cause release of additional HCl.
The viscous yellow brown crude product (293.4 g) was dissolved in toluene (4~6.7 g), and the solution was washed with 5 wt % aqueous NaOH (3x200 g) and water (2x230 g).
The cloudy pale-yellow organic phase (722.2 g) was dried over 15.17 g of anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The mixture was gravity filtered through paper (Whatman 2V), and the clear filtrate was stripped on a rotary evaporator (95C/0.1 torr) to obtain 260.1 g (90.5% yield) of a slightly hazy, viscous, light-yellow liquid. The liquid was Case FP G~51 2 0 7 012 3 pumped through a 10 micron Teflon membran~ filter to remove the hazy appearance. Properties of this product are summarized in Table II below.
Example 8 was repeated using the same reagents but with a higher level of resorcinol. Phosphoryl chloride (153.5 g, 1.001 mole) was added to resorcinol ~66.15 g, 0.6008 mole) at 25C in 5 minutes. The temperature dropped to 20C, and there was no evidence of HCl evolution from the easily stirred slurry. A 1.561 g (0.0117 mole) portion of anhydrous AlCl3 was added, and the mixture was warmed gently with an electric mantle. At 30C, HCl evolution began slowly and nearly all solids had dissolved in the red-brown liquid. Gas evolution continued at 60-80C for 1 hr. A
weight increase of 44.0 g was recorded for the exit gas scrubber, and the solution color changed to yellow-brown.
Liquid phenol (193.2 g, 2.053 mole) was then added 5 minutes at 70-77C. The mixture was held at 72-78C for 2.5 hr during which the scrubber weight increase rose to 99.0 g (90% of theory for HCl). The solution was then heated to 122C in 2 hr with the scrubber weight gain reaching a constant valu~ of 103.5 g (94.5% of theory). The cl~ar orange liquid was sparged with nitrogen overnight at ambient temperature. A solution of the crude product (299.5 g) in toluene (449.4 g) was washed with 10 wt ~ aqueous NaOH
(4x200 g) and then dei,onized water (3x300 g) to obtain 697.9 g of a cloudy c~lorless organic phase. The solution was dried over 16.3 anhydrous MgSO4, gravity filtered through paper, and stripped on a rotary evaporator to obtain 238.1 g (84.8~ yield) of a slightly hazy, nearly colorless viscous liquid. The liquid was pumped through a 10 micron Teflon membrane filter to remove the hazy appearance.

IoDic Cl, pp~ 27 330 < 40 97 The excellent thermal stability of the products of this invention was illustrated by a series of thermogravi-metric analyses in which weight loss of various phosphorus-containing materials was determined in the range of up to 600C. Subjected to this test were the phosphate combina-tion produced as in Example l and the phosphate combination produced as in Example 6. For comparative purposes TGA
analyses were also conducted on samples of tri-n octyl phosphate (TOP), tricresyl phosphate (TCP), tri-n-butoxy-ethyl phosphate (TBEP), and cresyl diphenyl phosphate (CDP).
The results of these determinations are summarized in the following table:

The test procedure is ASTM D 5001-90. In these tests scar diameter measurements are taken, and thus the smaller the scar diameter, the more effective the additive composition as regards wear inhi-bition. For convenience, the results are herein expressed in numerical values representing the scar diameter in milli-meters multiplied by 100.
In a first series of tests the aryl phosphate combi-nation formed as in Example 5 was blended into a commer-cially-available jet fuel at a concentration of 25 pounds per thousand barrels (ptb). This blended fuel was stored at 77 F under ambient light conditions for two months prior to conducting the lubricity test, to be sure that the fuel com-position had good storage stability. The clear base fuel in this test showed a scar diam0ter of 67 whereas the fuel con-taining the phosphate combination of this invention exhibit-ed a scar diameter of 44.
In another such test the base fuel had a scar dia-meter of 60 whereas the presence therein of 80 parts per million (ppm) of a combination formed as in Example 4 Case EP--6351 2~70123 reduced the scar diameter to 40.
Another series of such lubrici-y tests were cond~lc ted wherein the base fuel was a commercial JP-4 jet fuel.
This fuel as received gave a scar diameter of 60. The pre-sence in the fuel of an aryl phosphate combination producedas in Example 5 at the level of 25 ptb gave a scar diameter of 46. It is interesting to note that the presence in the same base fuel of comparable concentrations of tricresyl phosphate, trioctyl phosphate, and tributoxyethyl phosphate gave, respectively, scar diameters of 80, 80 and 83.
When the lubricity test was applied to a series of fuels based on a low sulfur grade of commercially-available diesel fuel, the following results were obtained:

The test results are tabulated below.

One such additive combination was produced as in Example 5 and thus, referring to the formulas given above, R was phenyl and Ar was m phenylene. In the other Case EP-6351 - 16 - 2070~23 such additive combination, R was nonylphenyl and Ar was m-phenylene. The results of these tests are presented below wherein "Combination A" refers to the combination wherein R
was phenyl, and "Combination B" refers to the combination wherein R was nonylphenyl:

Such fuels are predominantly hy-drocarbonaceous in composition and are typically character-ized by boiling in the range of about 130C to about 400C.
It is to be noted that the term "middle distillate fuel" is not intended to be restricted to straight-run distillate fractions. These middle distillate fuels or fuel oils can comprise straight run distillate fuel oils, catalytically or thermally cracked (including hydrocracked) distillate fuel oils, or mixtures of straight run distillate fuel oils, naphthas and like stocks, with cracked distillate stocks.
Moreover, such fuel oils can be treated in accordance with well known operations such as acid or caustic treatment, hydrogenation, solvent refining, clay treatment, and the like. The base fuels thus include diesel fuels, kerosenes, jet fuels, gas oils, cycle oils etc. While derived princi-pally from petroleum, the fuels can be derived at least in part from shale, tar sands, coal, lignite, biomass, and si-milar sources. The fuels can contain suitable oxygenated blending components, such as alcohols, ethers, etc, includ-Case EP-6351 - 17 2070123 ing in situ produced o~ygenates.
In general, the compositions of this invention are employed in the base fuel in an amount at least sufficient to inhibit wear between contacting metal ~urfaces.
Ordinarily, such amounts will fall within the range of from about 0.005 to about 5 percent by weight of the base fuel, and more typically within the range of from about 0.05 to about 2 percent by weight based on the weight of the base fuel.
Various additional additives may be used in the fuels of this invention. These include antioxidants, conductivity improvers (also known as static dissipator additives), metal deactivators, icing inhibitor additives, cetane improvers, combustion improvers ~including smoke suppressants), detergent/dispersant additives, induction system cleanliness agents, corrosion inhibitors, demulsi-fying agents, top cylinder lubricants, dyes, and the like.
Of the antioxidants, use of phenolic antioxidants is preferred, although other fuel-soluble antioxidants are available and can be used. Other suitable types of anti-oxidants include amine antioxidants, phosphite esters, sulfur-containing antioxidants, and other similar sub-stancesO Amounts of antioxidant in the range of about 1 to about 10 pounds per thousand barrels are typical. However, greater or lesser amounts can be used whenever deemed necessary or desirable.
Various conductivity improvers suitable for use in the fuels of this invention are available in the market-place. These include ASA-3 marketed by Royal Lubricants Co., and Stadis 450 marketed by E. 1. duPont de Nemours Co.
Typically, conductivity improvers axe additives that can be dissolved in the fuel in the amount necessary to increase the fuel conductivity to within a suitable range, such as between about 50 and about 600 pS/m as determined by ASTM D-2624. For further detail concerning conductivity improverswhich can be utiliæed, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,44~,097; 3,4~5,-665; 3,578,4~1; 3,652,238; 3,676,647; 3,674,450; 3,784,362;

Metal deactivators which can be used in the fuels of this invention include N,N'-disalicylidene-1,2-propanedia-mine, N,N'-disalicylidene-1,2-cyclohexanediamine, N,N'-disalicylidene-1,2-ethanediamine, N,N"-disalicylidene-N'-methyl-dipropylenetriamine. 8-hydroxyquinoline, ethylene diaminetetracarboxylic acid, acetylacetone, octylacetoace-tatel and like substances. Thiadiazoles such as HITEC~ 314 additive ~Ethyl Petroleum Additives, Inc.; Ethyl Petroleum Additives, Ltd.; Ethyl Canada Ltd., Ethyl S. A.j can also be used for this purpose. Amounts of up to about 2 pounds of metal deactivator per thousand barrels are ordinarily suffi-cient, but higher concentrations can be used whenever neces-sary or desirable.
Icing inhibitor additives that can be used include, for example, alcohols, glycols, monocarboxylic acid esters of polyoxyalkylene glycols, and nitroketonized amides.
Amounts of up to about 50 pounds per thousand barrels are usually sufficient.
Detergent/dispersant additives which are suitable for U52 in the fuels of this invention include amides and imides especially succinimides (e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos.
3,471,458; 3,655,351; 4,596,663; and 4,744,798); mono- and polycarboxylic acid esters especially succinic acid esters 25 (e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 3;639,242; 3,708,522; and 4,596,663);
carbamates (e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 3,652,240); hydrocarbyl polyamines (e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,753,670 and 3,756,793);
and hydrocarbyl polyether polyamines (e.g., U.S. Pat. No.
4,778,481).
As used herein the term "fuel-soluble" means that the composition in the particular base fuel employed dis-solves at 25C to at least the minimum concentration herein specified.
The above phosphate combinations can be used as antiwear agents in any of a variety of oils of lubricating viscosity. Preferably they are used in a base oil composed by volume of at least 50% and up to and including 100% of one or more mineral oils, or at least 50% and up to and c~c~ 3~L ~ ~ 7 0 1 2 3 including 100% of one or more synthetic ester oils.
The concentrations of the phosphate combinations in the base oils are minor wear-inhibiting amounts. These amounts will of course vary depending upon such factors as the type of base oil employed, the type of service to be encountered, and the amount of wear protection desired. In general, however, amounts in the range of about 0.005 to about 10 weight percent based on the total weight of the finished lubricant will usually be sufficient. Preferred amounts are in the range of about 0.25 to about 5 weight percent again based on the total weight of the finished lubricant. The phosphate combinations can be included in additive concentrates of the type used in formulating fin-ished lubricants (such as crankcase motor oils for gasoline engines, crankcase motor oils for diesel engines, gear oils, tractor oils, etc.) and functional fluids (such as transmis-sion flu1ds, hydraulic fluids, cutting and machining oils, etc.).
Further embodiments of this invention are additive concentrates and lubricant or functional fluid compositions containing particular combinations of one or more additive components (hereinafter described) together with a phosphate combination employed pursuant to this invention. For con~

This invention relates to novel organic phosphate ester comhinations and their preparation, combinations which are particularly useful ac wear inhibitors in fuels, lubricants and functional fluids.
A need exists for ashless (i.e., metal-free) wear inhi-bitors for use in lubricating oils and oil-based functional fluids subjected to high temperatures during actual service conditions.
This need is particularly acutQ in the case of syn-thetic diester-based lubricants for use as gas turbine lubricants. A need also exists for ashless wear inhibitors for use in middle distillate fuels such as diesel fuels, jet fuels and turbine fuels.
This invention provides, in one of its embodiments, a combination of aryl phosphates deemed suitable for use in fulfilling the aforesaid needs. The combination is composed of (i) at ieast one fuel- and/or oil-soluble aryl phosphate of the formula (RO)3PO
wherein each R is, independently, phenyl or an alkyl-substi-tuted phenyl group; and (ii) at least one fuel- and/or oil-soluble aryl polyphosphate of the formula O O
RO-[-P-O-Ar-O-]n~P(OR) 2 OR
wherein each R is, independently, phenyl or an alkyl-substituLed phenyl group, Ar is m-phenylene or an alkyl-substituted m-phenylene group, and n is a whole or number from l to 4; said combination containing from 2 to 30~ by weight of component (i). When the above formula represents a mixture of the depicted polyphosphates, n is a whole or fractional number from l to 4, as n represents the average composition of the mixture.
Among the advantages of these combinations is the ease with which they can be formed pursuant to another em-bodiment of this invention. In particular, the foregoing cast~ ~r-~3~l 2070123 combinations can be formed by a process which comprises (a) reacting from about 1.9 to about 2.1 equivalents of phenol and/or alkyl~substituted phenol with one equivalent of phos-phoryl trihalide in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, and ~b) reacting the intermediate product formed in (a) with from about 0.9 to about 1.1 equivalents of resorcinol and/or alkyl-substituted resorcinol per equivalent of phosphoryl trihalide employed in (a) again in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst. Although other modes of addition can be used, it is preferable in (a) to add the phenol and/or al-kyl-substituted phenol to the phosphoryl trihalide, and in (b) to add the resorcinol and/or alkyl-substituted resorci-nol to the intermediate product formed in (a). Non-limiting examples of suitable Lewis acid catalysts include AlCl3, AlBr3, FeCl3, FeBr3, BCl3, PCls, and MgCl2. In an alternate process, the Lewis acid catalyst is replaced by a stoichio-metric amount of a hydrog~n halide acceptor and a solvent is used. In step (a) a solution of phenol and/or an alkyl-sub-stituted phenol and hydrogen halide acceptor is added to a solution of the phosphoryl trihalide, and in step (b) a so-lution of resorcinol and/or an alkyl-substituted resorcinol and hydrogen halide acceptor is added to the intermediate product formed in step (a).
In still another embodiment, the foregoing combina-tions are formed by a process which comprises (a) reacting from about 0.9 to about 1.1 equivalents of resorcinol and/or alkyl-substituteclresorcinol with one equivalent of phospho ryl trihalide in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, and (b) reacting the intermediate product formed in (a) with from about 1.9 to about 2.1 equivalents of phenol and/or alkyl-substituted phenol per equivalent of phosphoryl tri-halide employed in (a) again in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst. Although other modes of addition can be used, it is preferable in ~a) and in (b) to add the resorcinolic and the phenolic reactants to the phosphoryl trihalide and to the reaction mixture formed in (a~, respectively. In an alternate process, the Lewis acid catalyst is replaced by a stoichiometric amount of a hydrogen halide acceptor and a 2~7al~3 Ca~ E~ (,3~-~
solvent is used. In step (a) a solution of resorcinol and/
or an alkyl-substituted resorcinol and hydrogen halide ac-ceptor is added to a solution of the phosphoryl trihalide, and in step (b) a solution of phenol and/or an alkyl-substi~
tuted phenol and hydrogen halide acceptor is added to the intermediate product formed in step (a).
In each of the above processes, it is preferred to employ the reactants in proportions such that there are at least 3.1 equivalents of ar-hydroxy groups (phenolic reac-tant plus resorcinolic reactant) per equivalent of phosphor-yl trihalide used.
Lubricant compositions which comprise a major pro-portion of oil of lubricating viscosity -- preferably a diester-based lubricating oil, i.e., a lubricating oil composed predominantly or entirely of one or more diester lubricating oils -- containing and a minor wear-inhibiting amount of a combination of phosphate esters (i) and lii) as described hereinabove, form the subject of another embodi-ment of this invention.
Another embodiment is middle distillate fuel compo-sitions which comprise a major proportion of a hydrocarbon-aceous middle distillate fuel and a minor wear-inhibiting amount of a combination of phosphate esters (i) and (ii) as described hereinabove.
In the various embodiments referred to above, most preferably each R is phenyl and Ar is m-phenylene. Like-wise, it is preferred that at least 50% by weight of the aryl polyphosphate corresponds to the above formula of com-ponent (ii) wherein n is 1. Particularly preferred are (1) compositions wherein each R is phenyl and at least 50% by weight of the aryl polyphosphate is m-phenylenebis(diphenyl phosphate), and (2) compositions wherein at least 60% by weight of the combination of phosphate esters is a combi-nation of m-phenylenebis~diphenyl phosphate) and triphenyl phosphate in a weight ratio of 1 to 35 parts of m-phenylene-bis(diphenyl phosphate) per each part by weiyht of triphenyl phosphate.
The above and other embodiments of this invention ~ 0 ~ 3 case EP-6351 ~ 4 will be still further apparent from the ensuing description and appended claims.
In forming the combination of aryl phosphates, use can be made of phenol and/or one or more alkyl phenols which contain from 1 to 5 alkyl groups on the ring. Each such alkyl group can contain up to about 18 carbon atoms with the proviso that the alkyl substituent(s) should not sterically hinder the hydroxyl group to such an extent that the substi-tuted phenol is incapable of reacting with the phosphoryl trihalide. Examples of suitable alkyl phenols include o~, m- and/or p-cresol; 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4-, and~or 3,5-~ylenol; o-, m-, and p-ethylphenol; p-tert-butylphenol;
p-tert-amylphenol; p-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenol; p-nonylphenol; p-decylphenol; 2,4,5-trimethylphenol; 2,3,4,5-tetramethylphenol; pentamethylphenol, etc. Cycloalkylphe-nols such as p-cyclohexylphenol can also be used. Mixtures of two or more different phenols are also suitable.
The phosphoryl trihalide used in forming the phos-phate combinations is preferably phosphoryl trichloride, but other halides such as the tribromide can be used.
Resorcinol is the preferred dihydroxybenzene reac-tant used in forming the phQsphate combinations. Howev2r alkyl-substituted resorcinols can be used again with the proviso that the compounds are not so sterically hindered as to be unable to undergo reaction on both hydroxyl groups with the intermediate formed from the reaction between the monohydric phenol and phosphoryl trihalide.
A few examples of alkyl-substituted resorcinols that can be used include 5-alkyl-1,3-dihydroxybenz~nes where the alkyl group has 1 to about 18 carbon atoms; 2-methyl-1,3-di-hydroxylbenzene;4-methyl-1,3-dihydroxylbenzene;4,5-dimeth-yl-1,3-dihydroxybenzene; and the like.
The reactions of (a) and (b) above are usually con-ducted at temperatures in the range of about 30C to about 200C. It is desirable and most economical to conduct these reactions without a solvent and in the presence of a cataly-tic amount of a Lewis acid. However, a suitable inert liq-uid solvent such as toluene, xylene, aromatic naphtha, or ~7~23 ~ 5 --the like can be used~
The amount of catalyst used is typically between 0.1 wt % and 10 wt % based upon the amount of phosphoryl trlha-lide. More preferred is 0.5 wt % to 5.0 wt % and most pre-ferred is 0.75 wt % to 2.00 wt %.
In place of the Lewis acid catalyst, an at least stoichiometric amount of a hydrogen halide acceptor can be used. Hydrogen halide acceptors which ar~ preferably used in the reactions of (a) and (b) above are typified by tertiary amines such as pyridine, pyrimidine, pyra~ine, triethylamine, tributylamine, and triphenylamine. Other known hydrogen halide acceptors are usable, however. ~t is most desirable to use an inert solvent for the reactions involving hydrogen halide acceptors in order to facilitate handling of the solid hydrohalide by-product. Suitable solvents are toluene, xylene, aromatic naphtha, or the like.
The fo~lowing examples illustrate various phosphate combinations of this invention, and methods which can be used for their synthesis.
A 912.87 g (9.70 mole) portion of phenol (Aldrih, redistilled) and a 766.65 g (5.00 mole) portion of POCl3 (Aldrich, 99%) were weighed into a dry, four-necked 5-L
flask in a glove box. The flask was then set~up in a hood with a mechanical paddle stirrer, a thermometer, a ylycol-cooled Friedrich condenser, an oil bath, and a rubber septum addition port. Exit gases from the condenser were passed through a trap and into an aqueous NaOH scrubber solution located on a balance. A slow nitrogen purge was maintained into the contents of the flask by a Teflon tube inserted through the rubber septum addition port.
The brownish gold solution was warmed to 33~C by the oil bath, and 1~.42 g (2.01 wt % based on POCl3) of AlCl3 (Aldrich) catalyst was cautiously added. The solution was 510wly heated to 116C over a seven hour period while 344.9 g of HCl (97.5% of theory3 collected in the exit gas scrubber. The solution was then cooled to room temperature, ~7~123 c~se l;`E~-G351 -- 6 ~
and a 291.79 g (2.65 mole) portion of resorcinol (Aldrich, recrystallized) was added (in a glove box). The reddish-purple mixture was then slowly heated to 170C over a five and one-half hour period while 172.1 g of HCl (B9.1% of theory) collected in the scrubber.
The viscous golden-yellow crude product was dissolved in toluene (2544.5 g), and the solution was shaken with 10 wt ~ aqueous NaQH (2x1000 g) and then tap water (3x1000 g) to obtain 3840.4 g of cloudy colorless organic phase. The solution was then dried over 125 g of anhydrous MgSO4. The liquid was decanted from the drying agent and passed through a bed (28 mm O.D. by 364 mm length) of 101.0 g activated silica gel (Aldrich, 70-230 mesh, 500 MZ/g, wet packed using toluene)~ The eluate was then stripped on a 15 rotary evaporator (95C/0.1 torr) to obtain 124207 g (87.2%
yield) of a slightly hazy, pale yellow fluid. This liquid was pumped through a 10-micron Teflon membrane filter to obtain 1227.57 g of a clear pale yellow product, properties of which are summarized in Table I hereinafter.
A 77.24 g (0.5037 mole) portion of POCl3 (Aldrich) and 148.6 g toluene were weighed into a l-L four-necked flask in a glove box. The flask was set~up in a hood and equipped with a paddle stirrer, thermometer, 500~mL addition funnel, and a glycol-cooled Friedrich condenser attached to a nitrogen bubbler. The flask was cooled with an ice bath while a solution of 90.07 g (0.957 mole) phenol (Aldrich, redistilled), 99.64 g (0O986 mole) triethylamine (TEA, Aldrich), and 101.94 g toluene was added from the additional funnel in 2.5 hr at 3-15C. After stirring for 15 minutes at 7-15~C, a hot (70-90C) clear blue solution of 30.51 g (0.277 mole) resorcinol (Aldrich, recrystallized) in 118.19 g (1.170 mole) TEA was pressured into the reaction flas~
through a stainless steel transfer needle from a capped bottle in 13 minutes at 15-29C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2.2 hr at 23-32C, and then 202.7 g of 5 wt ~
aqueous HCl was added followed by 39.6 g concentrated hydrochloric acid. The mixture was transferred to a Case EP-6351 2070123 separatory funnel, and the lower hazy yellow aqueous layer (514.8 g, pH 1-2) was removed. After washing with water (3x225 g), the cloudy organic phase (513.6 g) was dried over 10.1 g anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Upon standing for 16 hr, the addition of 6.8 g of activated silica gel (Aldrich, 70-230 mesh, 500 m2/g) immediately reduced the color of the yellow liquid. The mixture was gravity filtered through paper, and the pale-yellow filtrate as stripped on a rotary evaporator (100C/1 torr) to obtain 131.3 g (92% yield) of hazy light-yellow fluid. A clear liquid was obtained after pumping the product through a 10-micron membrane filter.
Table I, presented hereinafter, summarizes the properties of this product.
This experiment was conducted as described in Exam-ple 1. A 184.46 g (1.960 mole) portion of phenol was com-bined with 153.33 g (1.000 mole) of POCl3 in a 500-mL four necked-flask. The pale-yellow solution was warmed to 38~C, and 3.075 g (2.0 wt % based on POCl3) of MgCl2 was added, the pale-orange solution was then slowly heated with an electric mantle for 8.0 hr to a final temperature of 150~C. The cau-stic scrubber for the exit gases from the reaction increased in weight by 65.1 g (91% theory for HCl). The reaction flask was transflerred to a glove box where 57.26 g (0.520 mole) of white resorcinol (Aldrich, recrystallized) was added. The mixture was then slowly heated over three and one-half hours to a final temperature of 140C with the subsequent increase in the exit gas scrubber weight of 32.7 g (86.2% of theory for HCl). The dark brown viscous liquid (287.33 g) was dissolved in 557.29 g toluene and washed in a 2-L separatory funnel with 5.2 wt % aqueous NaOH (2x250 g). The organic phase was then washed with tap water (3x275 g) until the recovered aqueous phase reached a pH of 7. The cloudy organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate (30.46 g). The mixture was then gravity filtered through paper, and the clear, nearly colorless filtrate was stripped of solvent on a ro1ary evaporator (0.1 torr/90~C) to obtain 202.2 g (70.8% yield) of a slightly hazy pale-Case EP-6~51 2070123 yellow fluid. The liquid was pumped through a 10-micron Teflon membrane filter to obtain 193.36 g of a clear pale-yellow product. Properties of this sample are summarized in Table I below.
A 376.44 g (4.00 mole) portion of phenol is combined with 306.66 g (2.00 mole) of POCl3 in a 1-L four necked flask in a glove box. The light-orange solution is warmed to 40C
and 2.993 g (1.0 wt % based on POCl3) of pyridine (Baker) is added. The solution is heated with an electric mantle until gas evolution stops (11.0 hr/145C). The exit gas scrubber shows a weight increase of 139.8 g (95.9~ of theory for HCl).
A 114.51 g (1.04 mole) portion of resorcinol is added to the light-yellow reaction mixture in a glove box.
The solution is heated to 30C and 3.062 g (1.0 wt % based on POCl3) of magnesium chloride is added. The rusty-brown solution is heated until gas evolution stops (7.0 hr/149C).
The subsequent increase in the exit gas scrubber is 64.0 g (84% of theory for HCl). The light-yellow viscous liquid is dissolved in 1070 g toluene. The solution is washed in a 4-L
separatory funnel with dilute (2.8 wt %) aqueous NaOH (2x290 g) and then water (3x400 g). The cloudy organic phase is gravity filtered through paper to obtain a clear colorless filtrate. The filtrate is stripped on the rotary evaporator (0.1 torr/95C) to obtain 484.8 g t84.4% yield) of pale yellow cloudy liquid. The liquid is pumped through a 10-micron Teflon membrane filter to obtain 472.5 g of clear product. Properties of this sample are given in Table I.
A 188.56 g (2.00 moles) portion of phenol (Aldrich, redistilled) was combined with lS3.35 (1.00 mole) of POCl3 (Aldrich) in a 500-mL four-necked flask. The clear light-brown solution was warmed to 35C, and 3.039 g (1.98 wt %
based on POCl3) of aluminum chloride (Aldrich) was added. A
small exotherm increased the temperature to 42C as HCl evolution began. The clear red solution was then slowly heated with an electric mantle for 5 hours to a final tem-C~ls~ 351 207~23 g perature of 109~C. The caustic scrubber for the exit gases from the reaction increased in weight by 70.4 g (96.5% of theory for HCl). The reaction flask was transferred to a glove box where 55~04 g (0.500 mole) of resorcinol (Aldrich, recrystallized) was added. The mixture was then slowly heated over 7 hours to a final temperature of 158~C with the subsequent increase in the exit gas scrubber weight of 33.8 g (92.7% of theory for HCl). The light-orange viscous liquid (289.0 g) was dissolved in 467.8 g toluene and washed in a 2-L separatory funnel with 10 wt % aqueous NaOH (2x200 g). The cloudy organic phase was then washed with tap water (4x200g) until the recovered aqu~ous phase reached a pH of 6.5. The cloudy organic phase was dried over anhydrous mag-nesium sulfate (11.5 g). The mixture was then gravity fil-tered through paper, and the clear, nearly colorless fil-trate was stripped of solvent on a rotary evaporator (0.1 torr/90'C) to obtain 252.7 g (87.9% yield) of a slightly hazy pale-yellow fluid. The liquid was pumped through a 10-micron Teflon membrane filter to obtain 241.6 of clear pale-yellow product. The properties of this product aresummarized in Table I.

This experiment was carried out as described in Ex-ample 1. A 384.6 g (1.75 mole) portion of nonylphenol wascombined with 137.94 g (0.8996 mole) POCl3 in a l-L four-necked flask. A 2.78 g (0.0208 mole) portion of AlCl3 was added to the mixture at 29C, and the mixture was heated to 118C over 3 hr. After cooling to room temperature, a 52.5 g (0.477 mole) portion of resorcinol was added to the reac-tion mixture. The reaction was completed by heating to 170C in 2.5 hr. After cooling to 45~C, toluene (433.4 g) was added, and the solution was washed with 10 wt % aqueous NaOH (200 g) and twice with water. To obtain good phase separation for the last wash, the pH had to be adjusted to 10 with addition of aqueous NaOH. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous MgSO4 ~25.7 g), gravity filtered through paper, and the filtrate stripped on a rotary evaporator (0.1 torr/100C) to obtain 458.0 g (96.1% yield) of pale-yellow 0 oil. Properties are summarized in Table II below.
Example 6 was repeated replacing the nonylphenol with a mixture of phenol (91.30 g, 0.970 mole) and nonylphenol (213.75 g, 0.970 mole). A 153.32 g (1.00 mole) portion of POCl3, 58.36 g (0.530 mole) resorcinol and 3.130 g (0.023 mole) AlCl3 were used. The pale-yellow liquid Case EP~ 351. ~ 2 0 ~ O 1 2 3 product weighed 379.3 (93 .1 % yield). Table II sets forth physical properties of this product.
A 55.1 g (0.50 mole) porti~n of resorcinol (MCB, recrystallized, 99.93 area % by GC) was weighed into a dry four-necked l-L flask in a glove box. The flask was then set-up in a hood with a mechanical paddle stirrer, a thermometer, a rubber septum addition port, and a Friedrich water condenser. Exit gases from the condenser were passed through a dry glass trap and into an aqueous NaOH scrubber solution located on a balance. A slow nitrogen flow was maintained on the exit gas line during the r~action to prevent back-up of the scrubber solution.
A 153.3 g (1.00 mole, 93 ml) portion of POCl3 (Aldrich, 99%) was added to the flask by nitrogen pressure from a septum capped bottle using a stainless steel transfer needle. The easily stirred slurry was heated to 113C with less than 0.3 g of HCl being collected in the exit gas scrubber. After cooling to 40~C, a 1.493 g (0.0112 mole) portion of anhydrous AlCl3 (Aldrich) catalyst was added to the purple-brown liquid. The solution was slowly heated to 110C in 90 minutes while 37.5 g of HCl collected in the exit gas scrubber. The yellow-brown mixture was cooled to 63C and a 194.2 g (2.064 mole) portion of phenol (Aldrich, redistilled) was added in 15 min. The solution was heated to 155C in 2 hr while an additional 66.0 g (94.6% of theory for HCl) of HCl was collected in the scrubber. Addition of another 0.93 g (0.0070 mole) AlCl3 at 120-129C did not cause release of additional HCl.
The viscous yellow brown crude product (293.4 g) was dissolved in toluene (4~6.7 g), and the solution was washed with 5 wt % aqueous NaOH (3x200 g) and water (2x230 g).
The cloudy pale-yellow organic phase (722.2 g) was dried over 15.17 g of anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The mixture was gravity filtered through paper (Whatman 2V), and the clear filtrate was stripped on a rotary evaporator (95C/0.1 torr) to obtain 260.1 g (90.5% yield) of a slightly hazy, viscous, light-yellow liquid. The liquid was Case FP G~51 2 0 7 012 3 pumped through a 10 micron Teflon membran~ filter to remove the hazy appearance. Properties of this product are summarized in Table II below.
Example 8 was repeated using the same reagents but with a higher level of resorcinol. Phosphoryl chloride (153.5 g, 1.001 mole) was added to resorcinol ~66.15 g, 0.6008 mole) at 25C in 5 minutes. The temperature dropped to 20C, and there was no evidence of HCl evolution from the easily stirred slurry. A 1.561 g (0.0117 mole) portion of anhydrous AlCl3 was added, and the mixture was warmed gently with an electric mantle. At 30C, HCl evolution began slowly and nearly all solids had dissolved in the red-brown liquid. Gas evolution continued at 60-80C for 1 hr. A
weight increase of 44.0 g was recorded for the exit gas scrubber, and the solution color changed to yellow-brown.
Liquid phenol (193.2 g, 2.053 mole) was then added 5 minutes at 70-77C. The mixture was held at 72-78C for 2.5 hr during which the scrubber weight increase rose to 99.0 g (90% of theory for HCl). The solution was then heated to 122C in 2 hr with the scrubber weight gain reaching a constant valu~ of 103.5 g (94.5% of theory). The cl~ar orange liquid was sparged with nitrogen overnight at ambient temperature. A solution of the crude product (299.5 g) in toluene (449.4 g) was washed with 10 wt ~ aqueous NaOH
(4x200 g) and then dei,onized water (3x300 g) to obtain 697.9 g of a cloudy c~lorless organic phase. The solution was dried over 16.3 anhydrous MgSO4, gravity filtered through paper, and stripped on a rotary evaporator to obtain 238.1 g (84.8~ yield) of a slightly hazy, nearly colorless viscous liquid. The liquid was pumped through a 10 micron Teflon membrane filter to remove the hazy appearance.

IoDic Cl, pp~ 27 330 < 40 97 The excellent thermal stability of the products of this invention was illustrated by a series of thermogravi-metric analyses in which weight loss of various phosphorus-containing materials was determined in the range of up to 600C. Subjected to this test were the phosphate combina-tion produced as in Example l and the phosphate combination produced as in Example 6. For comparative purposes TGA
analyses were also conducted on samples of tri-n octyl phosphate (TOP), tricresyl phosphate (TCP), tri-n-butoxy-ethyl phosphate (TBEP), and cresyl diphenyl phosphate (CDP).
The results of these determinations are summarized in the following table:

The test procedure is ASTM D 5001-90. In these tests scar diameter measurements are taken, and thus the smaller the scar diameter, the more effective the additive composition as regards wear inhi-bition. For convenience, the results are herein expressed in numerical values representing the scar diameter in milli-meters multiplied by 100.
In a first series of tests the aryl phosphate combi-nation formed as in Example 5 was blended into a commer-cially-available jet fuel at a concentration of 25 pounds per thousand barrels (ptb). This blended fuel was stored at 77 F under ambient light conditions for two months prior to conducting the lubricity test, to be sure that the fuel com-position had good storage stability. The clear base fuel in this test showed a scar diam0ter of 67 whereas the fuel con-taining the phosphate combination of this invention exhibit-ed a scar diameter of 44.
In another such test the base fuel had a scar dia-meter of 60 whereas the presence therein of 80 parts per million (ppm) of a combination formed as in Example 4 Case EP--6351 2~70123 reduced the scar diameter to 40.
Another series of such lubrici-y tests were cond~lc ted wherein the base fuel was a commercial JP-4 jet fuel.
This fuel as received gave a scar diameter of 60. The pre-sence in the fuel of an aryl phosphate combination producedas in Example 5 at the level of 25 ptb gave a scar diameter of 46. It is interesting to note that the presence in the same base fuel of comparable concentrations of tricresyl phosphate, trioctyl phosphate, and tributoxyethyl phosphate gave, respectively, scar diameters of 80, 80 and 83.
When the lubricity test was applied to a series of fuels based on a low sulfur grade of commercially-available diesel fuel, the following results were obtained:

One such additive combination was produced as in Example 5 and thus, referring to the formulas given above, R was phenyl and Ar was m phenylene. In the other Case EP-6351 - 16 - 2070~23 such additive combination, R was nonylphenyl and Ar was m-phenylene. The results of these tests are presented below wherein "Combination A" refers to the combination wherein R
was phenyl, and "Combination B" refers to the combination wherein R was nonylphenyl:

Such fuels are predominantly hy-drocarbonaceous in composition and are typically character-ized by boiling in the range of about 130C to about 400C.
It is to be noted that the term "middle distillate fuel" is not intended to be restricted to straight-run distillate fractions. These middle distillate fuels or fuel oils can comprise straight run distillate fuel oils, catalytically or thermally cracked (including hydrocracked) distillate fuel oils, or mixtures of straight run distillate fuel oils, naphthas and like stocks, with cracked distillate stocks.
Moreover, such fuel oils can be treated in accordance with well known operations such as acid or caustic treatment, hydrogenation, solvent refining, clay treatment, and the like. The base fuels thus include diesel fuels, kerosenes, jet fuels, gas oils, cycle oils etc. While derived princi-pally from petroleum, the fuels can be derived at least in part from shale, tar sands, coal, lignite, biomass, and si-milar sources. The fuels can contain suitable oxygenated blending components, such as alcohols, ethers, etc, includ-Case EP-6351 - 17 2070123 ing in situ produced o~ygenates.
In general, the compositions of this invention are employed in the base fuel in an amount at least sufficient to inhibit wear between contacting metal ~urfaces.
Ordinarily, such amounts will fall within the range of from about 0.005 to about 5 percent by weight of the base fuel, and more typically within the range of from about 0.05 to about 2 percent by weight based on the weight of the base fuel.
Various additional additives may be used in the fuels of this invention. These include antioxidants, conductivity improvers (also known as static dissipator additives), metal deactivators, icing inhibitor additives, cetane improvers, combustion improvers ~including smoke suppressants), detergent/dispersant additives, induction system cleanliness agents, corrosion inhibitors, demulsi-fying agents, top cylinder lubricants, dyes, and the like.
Of the antioxidants, use of phenolic antioxidants is preferred, although other fuel-soluble antioxidants are available and can be used. Other suitable types of anti-oxidants include amine antioxidants, phosphite esters, sulfur-containing antioxidants, and other similar sub-stancesO Amounts of antioxidant in the range of about 1 to about 10 pounds per thousand barrels are typical. However, greater or lesser amounts can be used whenever deemed necessary or desirable.
Various conductivity improvers suitable for use in the fuels of this invention are available in the market-place. These include ASA-3 marketed by Royal Lubricants Co., and Stadis 450 marketed by E. 1. duPont de Nemours Co.
Typically, conductivity improvers axe additives that can be dissolved in the fuel in the amount necessary to increase the fuel conductivity to within a suitable range, such as between about 50 and about 600 pS/m as determined by ASTM D-2624. For further detail concerning conductivity improverswhich can be utiliæed, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,44~,097; 3,4~5,-665; 3,578,4~1; 3,652,238; 3,676,647; 3,674,450; 3,784,362;

Metal deactivators which can be used in the fuels of this invention include N,N'-disalicylidene-1,2-propanedia-mine, N,N'-disalicylidene-1,2-cyclohexanediamine, N,N'-disalicylidene-1,2-ethanediamine, N,N"-disalicylidene-N'-methyl-dipropylenetriamine. 8-hydroxyquinoline, ethylene diaminetetracarboxylic acid, acetylacetone, octylacetoace-tatel and like substances. Thiadiazoles such as HITEC~ 314 additive ~Ethyl Petroleum Additives, Inc.; Ethyl Petroleum Additives, Ltd.; Ethyl Canada Ltd., Ethyl S. A.j can also be used for this purpose. Amounts of up to about 2 pounds of metal deactivator per thousand barrels are ordinarily suffi-cient, but higher concentrations can be used whenever neces-sary or desirable.
Icing inhibitor additives that can be used include, for example, alcohols, glycols, monocarboxylic acid esters of polyoxyalkylene glycols, and nitroketonized amides.
Amounts of up to about 50 pounds per thousand barrels are usually sufficient.
Detergent/dispersant additives which are suitable for U52 in the fuels of this invention include amides and imides especially succinimides (e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos.
3,471,458; 3,655,351; 4,596,663; and 4,744,798); mono- and polycarboxylic acid esters especially succinic acid esters 25 (e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 3;639,242; 3,708,522; and 4,596,663);

and hydrocarbyl polyether polyamines (e.g., U.S. Pat. No.
4,778,481).
As used herein the term "fuel-soluble" means that the composition in the particular base fuel employed dis-solves at 25C to at least the minimum concentration herein specified.
The above phosphate combinations can be used as antiwear agents in any of a variety of oils of lubricating viscosity. Preferably they are used in a base oil composed by volume of at least 50% and up to and including 100% of one or more mineral oils, or at least 50% and up to and c~c~ 3~L ~ ~ 7 0 1 2 3 including 100% of one or more synthetic ester oils.
The concentrations of the phosphate combinations in the base oils are minor wear-inhibiting amounts. These amounts will of course vary depending upon such factors as the type of base oil employed, the type of service to be encountered, and the amount of wear protection desired. In general, however, amounts in the range of about 0.005 to about 10 weight percent based on the total weight of the finished lubricant will usually be sufficient. Preferred amounts are in the range of about 0.25 to about 5 weight percent again based on the total weight of the finished lubricant. The phosphate combinations can be included in additive concentrates of the type used in formulating fin-ished lubricants (such as crankcase motor oils for gasoline engines, crankcase motor oils for diesel engines, gear oils, tractor oils, etc.) and functional fluids (such as transmis-sion flu1ds, hydraulic fluids, cutting and machining oils, etc.).
