Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel process for the production of fuel and lubricant additives useful as dispersants and multifunctional viscosity modifiers wherein a dihydroxyaromatic compound is alkylated with an olefinic polymer and then aminated in such a manner as to oxidize the hydroxyl moieties of the dihydroxyaromatic compound to carbonyl groups.
Claims20
A process for the production of fuel and lubricant additives, said process comprising:
- providing an alkylated dihydroxyaromatic compound having been alkylated with a polymer alkylating agent;
- aminating said alkylated dihydroxyaromatic compound with at least one amine under conditions effective in oxidizing the hydroxyl groups of said alkylated dihydroxyaromatic compound to carbonyl groups.
A substance useful as a fuel or lubricant additive having the chemical formula:
- ##STR13## wherein POLY is a polymeric hydrocarbyl and N-Amine is an amine bound to the ring structure via a nitrogen atom.
A substance useful as a fuel or lubricant additive having the chemical formula:
- ##STR14## wherein POLY is a polymeric hydrocarbyl and N-Amine is an amine bound to the ring structure via a nitrogen atom.
