Description
SPECIFICATION
Nitrogen-containing esters and lubricants containing them
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to nitrogen-containing esters of carboxy-containing interpolymers and to lubricating compositions and additive concentrates containing such esters. More particularly, this invention relates to interpolymers derived from low molecular weight olefin or styrene and alpha, betaunsaturated aliphatic acid, anhydride or ester thereof, such interpolymers being esterified with long chain aliphatic alcohols and neutralized with polyamino compounds having one primary or secondary amino group and at least one mono-functional amino group, the resulting nitrogen-containing esters being particularly useful as pour point depressants.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Ever since lubricating oils were prepared from crude oils, refiners have experienced difficulty with congealation of these products at low temperatures. Part of the difficulty arises from a natural stiffening at low temperatures of the hydrocarbons comprising the bulk of the oil. This type of congealation can be corrected quite easily by the use of a solvent such as kerosene to reduce the viscosity of the oil. The remainder of the difficulty arises from the crystallization at low temperatures of the paraffin wax present in almost all heavy mineral oil fractions. Upon crystallization, the paraffin wax tends to form interlocking networks which adsorb oil and form a voluminous yel-like structure which restricts the flow or "pour" of the oil.Even though refining processes known as dewaxing have been developed to remove most of the paraffin from lubricating oil fractions, the small amount of wax remaining after dewaxing can cause serious probiems. Even such small amounts of wax can raise by tens of degrees Fahrenheit the temperature at which an oil will flow freely as measured by a suitable "pour point" test. Since removal of the last traces of wax from oils is a difficult and costly matter, other answers have been sought by refiners.
Various pour point depressants have been developed and those to reach the commercial market have primarily been organic polymers, although some monomeric substances such as tetra (long chain alkyl) silicates, phenyl tristearyloxysilane, and pentaerythritol tetrastearate have been shown to be effective.Present available commercial pour point depressants are believed to be represented by the following types of polymeric materials: polymethacrylates, for example, copolymers of various chain length alkyl methacrylates (see, for example, U.S. patent 2,655,479); polyacrylamides (see, for example,
U.S. patent 2,387,501); Friedel-Crafts condensation products of chlorinated paraffin wax with naphthalene (see, for example, U.S. patents 1,815,022 and 2,015,748); Friedel-Crafts condensation products of chlorinated paraffin wax with phenol (see, for example, U.S. patent 2,191,498); and vinyl carboxylate, such as dialkyl fumarate copolymers (see, for example, U.S. patents 2,666,746; 2,721,877 and 2,721,878).
Esters of maleic anhydride/alpha-olefin copolymers have been suggested as pour point depressants. For example, U.S. Patent 2,977,334 describes the use of copolymers of maleic anhydride and ethylene which are esterified with low or high molecular weight alcohols and/or amidized with an amine. These resins are described as being useful as pour point modifiers, gelling agents, thickeners, viscosity improvers, etc., for mineral and synthetic oils including functional fluids and lubricating oils.
U.S. Patent 2,992,987 describes a class of lubricant additives useful as pour point depressants which are ethylene-maleic anhydride copolymers esterified to 80% or more, preferably 90100%, with a
mixture of straight-chain saturated hydrocarbon alcohols having from 8 to 24 carbon atoms. The unesterified carboxylic groups can be left unreacted or can be reacted with such materials as ethylene or propylene oxide alcohol esters, or lower-dialkyl-amino-lower-alkyleneamines U.S. Patents 3,329,658 and 3,449,250 describes copolymers of maleic anhydride and alpha-olefins such as ethylene, propylene, isobutylene or styrene as being useful dispersancy and detergency additives for oils, as well as pour point depressants and viscosity index improvers.The copolymer is esterified to about 30 to about 95% with aliphatic alcohols or mixtures of alcohols having from 10 to 20 carbon atoms, and the remaining carboxyl groups are reacted with an amine of the following formula
where R, and R2 are selected from the group consisting of aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms and the cyclohexyl radical, R3 is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, and R4 is selected from the class consisting of hydrocarbon atom and aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
U.S. Patents 3,702,300 and 3,933,761 describe carboxy-containing interpolymers in which some of the carboxy radicals are esterified and the remaining carboxy radicals are neutralized by reaction with a polyamino compound having one primary or secondary amino group and at least one mono-functional amino group, and indicate that such interpolymers are useful as viscosity index improving and antisludge agents in lubricating compositions and fuels. The patentee indicates that it is critical that the mixed esters described in these patents include both relatively high molecular weight carboxylic ester groups having at least eight aliphatic carbon atoms in the ester radical and relatively low molecular weight carboxylic ester groups having no more than seven aliphatic carbon atoms in the ester radical.
Although many pour point depressants have been suggested and many are available in the market, concerted efforts are constantly being made to find new pour point depressants which are more economical and more effective than the depressants heretofore known in the art. In particular, a great deal of interest exists in pour point depressants which are capable of imparting other desirable properties to the lubricating compositions to which they are added in addition to pour point depressant properties.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Nitrogen-containing esters of carboxy-containing interpolymers are provided in accordance with the present invention which when added to lubricant compositions provide such lubricant compositions with superior pour point depressant properties as well as other desirable properties including viscosity index improvement. These esters also enhance the dispersion of other additives as well as contaminants (e.g., dirt, water, metallic particles, etc.) in the lubricating compositions to which they are added. These esters also enhance the flow characteristics of additive concentrates to which they are added.
Broadly stated, the present invention contemplates the provision of a nitrogen-containing ester of a carboxy-containing interpolymer, said interpolymer having a reduced specific viscosity of from about 0.05 to about 1 and being derived from at least two monomers, one of said monomers being a low molecular weight aliphatic olefin or styrene and the other of said monomers being an alpha, betaunsaturated aliphatic acid, anhydride or ester thereof, said nitrogen-containing ester being substantially free of titratable acidity and being characterized by the presence within its polymeric structure of at least one of each of the following groups which are derived from the carboxy groups of said interpolymer::
(A) a carboxylic ester group, said carboxylic ester group having at least eight aliphatic carbon
atoms in the ester radical, and
(B) a carbonyl-polyamino group derived from a polyamino compound having one primary or
secondary amino group and at least one mono-functional amino group, wherein the molar ratio of carboxy groups of said interpolymer esterified to provide (A) to carboxy groups of said interpolymer neutralized to provide (B) is in the range of about 85:1 5 to about 99:1.
Lubricant compositions and additive concentrates comprising the foregoing nitrogen-containing ester are also provided in accordance with the present invention. Further, the present invention contemplates the provision of a process for making a nitrogen-containing ester of a carboxy-containing interpolymer comprising the steps of: providing an interpolymer derived from at least two monomers, one of said monomers being a low molecular weight aliphatic olefin or styrene and the other of said monomers being an alpha, beta-unsaturated aliphatic acid, an hydride or ester thereof, said interpolymer having a reduced specific viscosity of about 0.05 to about 1; partially esterifying said interpolymer with an alcohol having at least eight aliphatic carbon atoms to convert from about 85% to about 99% of the carboxy radicals of the interpolymer to ester radicals; and substantially neutralizing the remaining carboxy radicals of said interpolymer with a polyamino compound having one primary or secondary amino group and at least one mono-functional amino group.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
An essential element of the present invention is that each of the carboxylic ester groups of the nitrogen-containing esters of the present invention have at least eight aliphatic carbon atoms in the ester radical. The presence of carboxylic ester groups of such size is critical to the stable pour point properties imparted to the lubricating compositions in which the nitrogen-containing esters of the present invention are used.
In reference to the size of the ester groups, it is pointed out that an ester radical is represented by the formula -C(O)(OR) and that the number of carbon atoms in an ester radical is thus the combined total of the carbon atom of the carbonyl group and the carbon atoms of the ester group, i.e., the (OR) group.
Another essential element of the present invention is the presence of a polyamino group derived from a particular polyamino compound, i.e., one in which there is one primary or secondary amino group and at least one mono-functional amino group. Such polyamino group, when present in the nitrogencontaining esters of the present invention in the proportion stated above enhances the dispersability of such esters in lubricant compositions and additive concentrates for lubricant compositions.
Still another essential element of the present invention is the extent of esterification in relation to the extent of neutralization of the unesterified carboxy groups of the carboxy-containing interpolymer through the conversion thereof to polyamino-containing groups. The molar ratio of the carboxy groups of said interpolymer that are esterified to the carboxy groups neutralized through the conversion thereof to polyamino-containing groups is generally in the range of about 85:15 to about 99:1. A preferred ratio is 95:5. It should be noted that the linkage described as the carbonyl-polyamino group may be imide, amide, or amidine and inasmuch as any such linkage is contemplated within the present invention, the term "carbonyl polyamino" is thought to be a convenient, generic expression useful for the purpose of defining the inventive concept.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention such linkage is imide or predominantly imide.
Still another important element of the present invention is the molecular weight of the carboxycontaining interpolymer. For convenience, the molecular weight is expressed in terms of the "reduced specific viscosity" of the interpolymer which is a widely recognized means of expressing the molecular size of a polymeric substance. As used herein, the reduced specific viscosity (abbreviated as RSV) is the value obtained in accordance with the formula
Relative Viscosity - 1 RSV= Concentration wherein the relative viscosity is determined by measuring, by means of a dilution viscometer, the viscosity of a solution of one gram of the interpolymer in 100 ml. of acetone and the viscosity of acetone at 300+ 0.020C.For purpose of computation by the above formula, the concentration is adjusted to 0.4 gram of the interpolymer per 100 ml. of acetone. A more detailed discussion of the reduced specific viscosity, also known as the specific viscosity, as well as its relationship to the average molecular weight of an interpolymer, appears in Paul J. Flory,Principles of Polymer Chemistry, (1953
Edition) pages 308 et seq.
While interpolymers having a reduced specific viscosity of from about 0.05 to about 1 are contemplated in the present invention, the preferred interpolymers are those having a reduced specific viscosity of from about 0.2 or 0.35 to about 0.8 or 1. Interpolymers having a reduced specific viscosity of from about 0.35 to about 0.5 or from about 0.65 to about 0.75 are particularly useful.
From the standpoint of utility, as well as for commercial and economical reasons, nitrogencontaining esters in which the ester group has from 8 to 24 aliphatic carbon atoms, preferably about 12 to about 1 8 carbon atoms, and most preferably about 1 4 or 1 5 carbon atoms, and the carbonyl polyamino group is derived from a primary-aminoalkyl-substituted tertiary amine, particularly heterocyclic amine, are preferred. Specific examples of the carboxylic ester group, i.e., the (OR) group of the ester radical (i.e., -(O)(OR)) include isooctyloxy, decyloxy, dodecyloxy, tridecyloxy, tetradecyloxy, pentadecyloxy, octadecyloxy, eicosyloxy, tricosyloxy, tetracosyloxy, etc. In most instances, alkoxy groups comprise the preferred ester groups. Polar substituents may be present in such ester groups.
Examples of polar substituents are chloro, bromo, ether, nitro, etc. Mixtures of the foregoing carboxylic ester groups can also be provided. For example, mixtures of ester groups having from 12 to 1 8 carbon atoms have been found to be useful. Mixtures of ester groups having 14 and 1 5 carbon atoms have been found to be particularly advantageous.
Examples of the carbonyi polyamino group include those derived from polyamino compounds having one primary or secondary amino group and at least one mono-functional amino group such as tertiary-amino or heterocyclic amino group. Such compounds may thus be tertiary-amino substituted primary or secondary amines or other substituted primary or secondary amines in which the substituent is derived from pyrroles, pyrrolidones, caprolactams, oxazolidones, oxazoles, thiazoles, pyrazoles, pyrazolines, imidazoles, imidazolines, thiazines, oxazines, diazines, oxycarbamyl, thiocarbamyl, uracils, hydantoins, thiohydantoins, guanidines, ureas, sulfonamides, phosphoramides, phenolthiazines, amidines, etc.Examples of such polyamino compounds include dimethylamino-ethylamine, dibutylamino-ethylamine, 3-dimethylamino-1 -propylamine, 4-methylethylamino- 1 -butylamine, pyridyl ethylamine, N-morpholino-ethylamine, tetrahydropyridylethylamine, bis-(dimethylamino)propylamine, bis-(diethylamino)ethylamine, N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylene diamine, piperidyl-ethylamine, 1 -aminoethyl pyrazole, 1 -(methylamino)pyrazoline, 1 -methyl-4-aminooctyl pyrazole, 1 -aminobutyl imidazole, 4- aminoethyl thiazole, 2-aminoethyl triazine, dimethylcarbamyl propylamine, N-methyl-N-aminopropyl, acetamide, N-aminoethyl succinimide, N-methylamino maleimide, N-aminobutylalphachlorosuccinimide, 3-aminoethyl uracil, 2-aminoethyl pyridine, ortho-aminoethyl-N,Ndimethylbenzenesulfamide, N-aminoethyl phenothiazine, N-aminoethylacetamidine, l-aminophenyl- 2-methyl-imidazoline, N-methyl-N-a minoethyl-S-ethyl-dithiocarba mate, etc. Preferred polyamino compounds include the N-aminoalkyl-substituted morpholines such as aminopropyl morpholine. For the most part, the polyamino compounds are those which contain only one primary-amino or secondaryamino group and, preferably at least one tertiary-amino group. The tertiary amino group is preferably a heterocyclic amino group. In some instances polyamino compounds may contain up to about 6 amino groups although, in most instances, they contain one primary amino group and either one or two tertiary amino groups.The polyamino compounds may be aromatic or aliphatic amines and are preferably heterocyclic amines such as amino-alkyl-substituted morpholines, piperazines, pyridines, benzopyrroles.
quinolines, pyrroles, etc. They are usually amines having from 4 to about 30 carbon atoms, preferably from 4 to about 1 2 carbon atoms. Polar substituents may likewise be present in the polyamines.
The carboxy-containing interpolymers include principally interpolymers of alpha, beta-unsaturated - acids or anhydrides such as maleic an hydride or itaconic anhydride with olefins (aromatic or aliphatic) such as ethylene, propylene, styrene, or isobutene. The styrene-maleic anhydride interpolymers are especially useful. They are obtained by polymerizing equal molar amounts of styrene and maleic anhydride, with or without one or more additional interpolymerizable comonomers. In lieu of styrene, an aliphatic olefin may be used, such as ethylene, propylene or isobutene. In lieu of maleic anhydride, acrylic acid or methacrylic acid or ester thereof may be used. Such interpolymers are known in the art and need not be described in detail here.Where an interpolymerizable comonomer is contemplated, it should be present in a relatively minor proportion, i.e., less than about 0.3 mole, usually less than about 0.15 mole, per mole of either the olefin (e.g. styrene) or the alpha, beta-unsaturated acid or anhydride (e.g. maleic anhydride). Various methods of interpolymerizing styrene and maleic anhydride are known in the art and need not be discussed in detail here. For purpose of illustration, the interpolymerizable comonomers include the vinyl monomers such as vinyl acetate, acrylonitrile, methylacrylate, methyimethacrylate, acrylic acid, vinyl methyl ether, vinyl ethyl ether, vinyl chloride, isobutene or the like.
The nitrogen-containing esters of the invention are most conveniently prepared by first esterifying the carboxy-containing interpolymer with an alcohol to convert at least about 5% and no more than about 99% of the carboxy radicals of the interpolymer to ester radicals and then neutralizing the remaining carboxy radicals with a poiyamino compound such as described above. More than one alcohol may be used in the process; so also may be used commercial alcohol mixtures such as the socalled Oxo-alcohols which comprise, for example, mixtures of alcohols having from 8 to about 24 carbon atoms. A particularly useful class of alcohols are the commercial alcohol mixtures or mixtures of commercial alcohol mixtures comprising dodecyl alcohol, tridecyl alcohol, tetradecyl alcohol, pentadecyl alcohol, hexadecyl alcohol, heptadecyl alcohol and octadecyl alcohol.Commercial alcohol mixtures of tetradecyl and pentadecyl alcohols are particularly useful. Several suitable sources of these alcohol mixtures are the technicai grade alcohols soid under the tradename "Neodols" by Shell Chemical
Corporation and under the tradename "Alfols" by Continental Oil Company. Other alcohols useful in the process are illustrated by those which, upon esterification, yield the ester groups exemplified above.
The extent of esterification, as indicated previously, may range from about 85% to 99%, preferably about 92% to about 97%, conversion of the carboxy radicals of the interpolymer to ester radicals. In a preferred embodiment, the degree of esterification is about 95%.
The esterification can be accomplished simply by heating the carboxy-containing interpolymer and the alcohol or alcohol mixtures under conditions typical for effecting esterification. Such conditions usually include, for example, a temperature of at least about 80"C, preferably from about 1 500C to about 3500C, provided that the temperature be below the decomposition point of the reaction mixture, and the removal of water of esterification as the reaction proceeds.Such conditions may optionally include the use of an excess of the alcohol reactant so as to facilitate esterification, the use of a solvent or diluent such as mineral oil, toluene, benzene, xylene or the like and an esterification catalyst such as toluene sulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, aluminum chloride, boron trifluoride-triethylamine, hydrochloric acid, ammcnium sulfate, phosphoric acid, sodium methoxide or the like. These conditions and variations thereof are well known in the art.
The esterified interpolymer is then treated with a polyamino compound in an amount so as to neutralize substantially all of the unesterified carboxy radicals of the interpolymer. The neutralization is preferably carried out at a temperature of at least about 800C, often from about 1 200C to about 3000C, provided that the temperature does not exceed the decomposition point of the reaction mass. In most instances the neutralization temperature is between about 1 500C and 2500C. A slight excess of the stoichiometric amount of the polyamino compound is often desirable, so as to insure substantial completion of neutralization, i.e., no more than about 2% of the carboxy radicals initially present in the interpoiymer remained unneutralized.
The following examples are illustrative of the preparation of the nitrogen-containing esters of the present invention. Unless otherwise indicated all paris and percentages are by weight.

The nitrogen-containing esters of this invention can be effectively employed in a variety of lubricating compositions based on diverse oils of lubricating viscosity such as a natural or synthetic lubricating oil, or suitable mixtures thereof. The lubricating compositions contemplated include principally crankcase, lubricating oils for spark-ignited and compression-ignited internal combustion engines including automobile and truck engines, two-cycle engine lubricants, aviation piston engines.
marine and railroad diesel engines, and the like. However, automatic transmission fluids, trans-axle lubricants, gear lubricants, metal-working lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and other lubricating oil and grease compositions can benefit from the incorporation of the present additives.
Natural oils include animal oils and vegetable oils (e.g., castor oil, lard oil) as well as solventrefined or acid-refined mineral lubricating oils of the paraffinic, naphthenic, or mixed paraffinnaphthenic types. Oils of lubricating viscosity derived from coal or shale are also useful base oils.
Synthetic lubricating oils include hydrocarbon oils and halo-substituted hydrocarbon oils such as polymerized and interpolymerized olefins (e.g., polybutylenes, polypropylenes, propylene-isobutylene copolymers, chlorinated polybutylenes, etc.); alkyl benzenes (e.g., dodecylbenzenes, tetradecylbenzenes, dinonylbenzenes, di-(2-ethylhexyl) benzenes, etc.); polyphenols (e.g. biphenyls, terphenyls, etc.); and the like. Alkylene oxide polymers and interpolymers and derivatives thereof where the terminal hydroxyl groups have been modified by esterification, etherification, etc., constitute another class of known synthetic lubricating oils.These are exemplified by the oils prepared through polymerization of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, the alkyl and aryl ethers of these poiyoxyalkylene polymers (e.g., methylpolyisopropylene glycol ether having an average molecular weight of 1 000, diphenyl ether of polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 500-1000, diethyl ether of polypropylene glycol having a molecular weight of 1000-1 500, etc.) or mono- and polycarboxylic esters thereof, for example, the acetic acid esters, mixed C3-C8 fatty acid esters, or the C,3 Oxo acid diester of tetraethylene glycol.Another suitable class of synthetic lubricating oils comprises the esters of dicarboxylic acids (e.g., phthalic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid,
fumaric acid, adipic acid, linoleic acid dimer, etc.) with a variety of alcohols (e.g., butyl alcohol, hexyl
alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, pentaerythritol, etc.). Specific examples of these esters
include dibutyl adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl)-sebacate, di-n-hexyl fumarate, dioctyl sebacate, diisooctyl
azelate, diisodecyl azelate, dioctyl phthalate, didecyl phthalate, dieicosyl sebacate, the 2-ethylhexyl
diester of linoleic acid dimer, the complex ester formed by reacting one mole of sebacic acid with two
moles of tetraethylene glycol and two moles of 2-ethyl-hexanoic acid, and the like.Silicon-based oils
such as the polyalkyl-, polyaryl-, polyalkoxy-, or polyaryloxy-siloxane oils and silicate oils comprise
another useful class of synthetic lubricants (e.g., tetraethyl-silicate, tetraisopropyl-silicate, tetra-(2
ethylhexyl)-silicate, tetra-(4-methyl-2-tetraethyl )-sil icate, tetra-(p-tert-butylphenyl)-sil icate, hexyl-(4 methyl-2-pentoxy)-di-siloxane, poly(methyl)-siloxanes, poly(methylphenyl)-siloxanes, etc.). Other
synthetic lubricating oils include liquid esters of phosphorus-containing acids (e.g., tricresyl phosphate,
trioctyl phosphate, diethyl ester of decane phosphonic acid, etc.), polymeric tetrahydrofurans, and the
like.
Of the various lubricants, crankcase lubricants and automobile transmission fluids are especially
adapted to improvement by the use of the additives of the present invention. Generally, the lubricant
compositions of the present invention contain an amount of the nitrogen-containing esters of the
invention sufficient to provide such lubricant compositions with pour point depressant properties. This
amount maybe as low as 0.01%, although it more often is from about 0.1% to about 10% preferably
about 0.1% to about 1% by weight of the finished lubricant. Higher concentrations may be employed.
As indicated previously, the nitrogen-containing esters of the present invention are particularly
suitable for imparting pour point depressant properties to lubricants. In this regard, the nitrogen
containing esters reduce the lowest temperature at which the lubricant composition to which they are
added flows. Accordingly, these nitrogen-containing esters extend the versatility and lubricating
qualities of such lubricant compositions at lower service temperatures. The pour point depressants - provided in accordance with the present invention are especially important for use in crankcase oils and
gear oils as well as automatic transmission fluids and hydraulic oils.
The nitrogen-containing esters of Examples 2, 3 and 6-11 1 were subjected to ASTM Pour Point o Petroleum Oils D 97-66 for determination of respective initial pour points, and to Method 201-Federal Test Method Standard No. 791 B for determination of respective stable pour points.
Additionally, for purposes of comparison samples A and B (the preparation of which is indicated below)
were also subjected to these tests. The results of these tests are indicated in Table I below.

The invention also contemplates the use of other additives in combination with the nitrogencontaining esters of this invention. Such additives include, for example, auxiliary detergents and dispersants of the ash-producing or ashless type, corrosion- and oxidation-inhibiting agents, viscosity improving agents, extreme pressure agents, color stabilizers and anti-foam agents.
The ash-producing detergents are exemplified by oil-soluble neutral and basic salts of alkali or alkaline earth metals with sulfonic acid, carboxylic acids, or organic phosphorus acids characterized by at least one direct carbon-to-phosphorus linkage such as those prepared by the treatment of an olefin polymer (e.g., polyisobutenes having a molecular weight of 1000) with a phosphorizing agent such as phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus heptasulfide, phosphorus pentasulfide, phosphorus trichloride and sulfur, white phosphorus and a sulfur halide, or phosphorothioic chloride. The most commonly used salts of such acids are those of sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, magnesium, strontium and barium.
The term "basic salt" is used to designate metal salts wherein the metal is present in stoichiometrically larger amounts than the organic acid radical. The commonly employed methods for preparing the basic salts involve heating a mineral oil solution and an acid with a stoichiometric excess of a metal neutralizing agent such as the metal oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, bicarbonate, or sulfide at a temperature above 500C and filtering the resulting mass. The use of a "promoter" in the neutralization step to aid the incorporation of a large excess of metal likewise is known.Examples of compounds useful as the promoter include phenolic substances such as phenol, naphthyl, alkylphenol, thiophenol, sulfurized alkylphenol, and condensation products of formaldehyde with a phenolic substance; alcohols such as methanol, 2-propanol, octyl alcohol, cellosolve, carbitol, ethylene glycol, stearyl alcohol, and cyclohexyl alcohol; and amines such as aniline, phenylenediamine, phenothiazine, phenyl-betanaphthylamine, and dodecylamine. A particularly effective method for preparing the basic salts comprises mixing an acid with an excess of a basic alkaline earth metal neutralizing agent and at least one alcohol promoter, and carbonating the mixture at an elevated temperature such as 60-2000C.
Auxiliary ashless detergents and dispersants are so called despite the fact that, depending on its constitution, the dispersant may upon combustion yield a non-volatile material such as boric oxide or phosphorus pentoxide; however, it does not ordinarily contain metal and therefore does not yield a metal-containing ash on combustion. Many types are known in the art, and any of them are suitable for use in the lubricants of this invention. The following are illustrative:
(1) Reaction products of carboxylic acids (or derivatives thereof) containing at least about 34 and preferably at least about 54 carbon atoms with nitrogen-containing compounds such as amine, organic hydroxy compounds such as phenols and alcohols, and/or bsic inorganic materials.Examples of these "carboxylic dispersants" are described in British Patent 1,306,529 and in many U.S. patents including the following:

3,519,565 3,702,300
The above-noted patents are incorporated by reference herein for their disclosures of ashless dispersants.
Extreme pressure agents and corrosion- and oxidation-inhibiting agents are exemplified by
chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as chlorinated wax; organic sulfides and polysulfides such as
benzyl disulfide, bis(chlorbenzyl)disulfide, dibutyl tetrasulfide, suifurized methyl ester of oleic acid,
sulfurized alkylphenol, sulfurized dipentene, and sulfurized terpene; phosphosulfurized hydrocarbons

phosphorus pentasulfide with an equimolar mixture of isopropyl alcohol and n-hexyl alcohol.
Automatic transmission fluids containing esters of the present invention often contain frictional
additives to improve the so-called slip-stick characteristics. Such additives are exemplified by fatty
amines such as stearylamine and oleylamine, aikoxylated amines such as the reaction products of
amines with ethyleneoxide or propyleneoxide and other derivatives of amines such as the reaction
products of an aikoxylated amine with boric acid or boron oxide. Still other frictional additives are exemplified by sperm oil, sulfurized sperm oil, stearylamine methyloleate and other oily agents.
The above-illustrated additives may each be present in lubricating compositions at a concentration
ranging from about 0.01% to about 20% by weight In most instances, they each range from about 0.1 % to about 10%.
The nitrogen-containing esters of this invention can be added directly to the lubricant. Preferably,
