Abstract
Thioether-substituted phenols that are the reaction product of a thioether-substituted alcohol or thioether-substituted amine and a phenol with at least one pendant acyl group and have a ratio of sulfur groups to phenol groups of at least 1:1 and uses for thioether-substituted phenols. Methods of lubricating an internal combustion engine by contacting the internal combustion engine with a lubricating composition comprising a thioether-substituted phenol. Methods of reducing deposit formation and/or corrosion in an engine using a lubricating composition comprising a thioether-substituted phenol.
Claims6
A method of reducing deposit formation and/or corrosion in an internal combustion engine comprising contacting the internal combustion engine with a lubricating composition comprising:

- and
- b. a thioether-substituted phenol (“thioether-phenol”) that has the structure:
- wherein R3 is a C1-C20 hydrocarbyl group;
- R4 is a C1-C32 hydrocarbyl group.
