Hydrogen perfluoroalkylaromatic ethers and related compositions and methods

Abstract

A lubricating compound having the structure: R.sup.1 --R.sub.f --O--Ar--R.sup.2 wherein R.sup.1 is a monovalent radical selected from the group consisting of fluoride, unsubstituted aryloxys, substituted aryloxys, unsubstituted arylthios, substituted arylthios, perfluoroalkoxys, and perfluoro (3,6-dimethyl-1, 4-dioxanyl-2-oxy), R.sup.2 is a monovalent radical selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halides, cyano, nitro, unsubstituted alkyls having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms inclusive, perfluoroalkyls having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms inclusive, perfluoroalkoxys having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms inclusive, substituted and unsubstituted hydrogen perfluoroalkoxy aryloxys, substituted and unsubstituted hydrogen perfluoroalkoxy arylthios, unsubstituted alkoxys having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms inclusive, unsubstituted aryls, substituted aryls, unsubstituted aryloxys, substituted aryloxy, unsubstituted alkylthios, substituted arylthios, unsubstituted arylthios, substituted and unsubstituted arylketones, substituted and unsubstituted arylsulfones, and substituted and unsubstituted alkylcarboxys, R.sub.f is a hydrogen perfluoroalkyl divalent radical having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms inclusive, and AR is an aryl radical. A method for making such compounds and lubricant compositions containing such compounds are also disclosed.
