Abstract
The present invention is toward a base oil or lubricant additives, methods of using the same, lubricant compositions including the same, and methods of forming the lubricant compositions. A base oil or lubricant additive has Structure I or Structure II as described herein.
Claims20
A base oil or lubricant additive having the structure:
- wherein
- R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independently chosen from —H, -(C1-C5)hydrocarbyl and —Rb,
- the base oil or lubricant additive comprises at least one Rb,
- at each occurrence, Rb is independently chosen from —C(O)—O—Rc, —O—Rc, —S—Rc, and —NH—Rc, and
- at each occurrence, Rc is independently (C6-C30)hydrocarbyl that is interrupted by 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 groups independently chosen from —O— and —S— and that is unsubstituted or substituted with -O-(C6-20)aryl.

A method of lubricating comprising:
- applying a base oil or lubricant additive, or a lubricant composition comprising the same, to an apparatus to lubricate the apparatus, wherein the base oil or lubricant additive has the structure:
- wherein
- R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independently chosen from —H, -(C1-C5)hydrocarbyl and —Rb,
- the base oil or lubricant additive comprises at least one Rb,
- at each occurrence, Rb is independently chosen from —C(O)—O—Rc, —O—Rc, —S—Rc, and —NH—Rc, and
- at each occurrence, Rc is independently (C6-C30)hydrocarbyl that is interrupted by 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 groups independently chosen from —O— and —S— and that is unsubstituted or substituted with -O-(C6-20)aryl.
