Additive compositions for lubricants and functional fluids

TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to additive compositions for lubricants and functional fluids and, more particularly, to compositions comprising an organic sulfide and an acylated nitrogen-containing compound which are useful in providing enhanced antiwear properties to lubricants and functional fluids, especially engine lubricating oils.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Engine lubricating oils require the presence of additives to protect the engine from wear. For almost 40 years, the principal antiwear additive for engine lubricating oils has been zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP). However, ZDDP is typically used in the lubricating oil at a sufficient concentration to provide a phosphorus content of 0.12% by weight or higher in order to pass required industry standard tests for antiwear. Since phosphates may result in the deactivation of emission control catalysts used in automotive exhaust systems, a reduction in the amount of phosphorus-containing additives (e.g., ZDDP) in the oil would be desirable. The problem sought to be overcome is to provide for a reduction in the amount of phosphorus-containing additive in the lubricating oil and yet provide the lubricating oil with desired antiwear properties. The present invention provides a solution to this problem by providing compositions that can function as either a partial or complete replacement for ZDDP.
The use of disulfides represented by the formula (R.sub.z YC.dbd.S).sub.2 S.sub.2, wherein Y is O, S or N, and z is 1 when Y is O or S and 2 when Y is N, as lubricant additives is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,681,316; 2,691,632; and 2,694,682.

The use of compounds represented by the formula (ROC.dbd.S).sub.2 in lubricants for use on bearing surfaces is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,110,281 and 2,206,245. U.S. Pat. No. 2,431,010 discloses the use of compounds represented by the formula (ROC.dbd.S)S.sub.n, wherein n is 2-4, as soluble cutting oil additives.
The use of thiuram sulfides as lubricant additives is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,081,886; 2,201,258; 3,249,542; 3,352,781; 4,207,196; and 4,501,678.
The use of acylated nitrogen compounds as dispersants in lubricants is disclosed in numerous patents, including U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,172,892; 3,219,666; 3,272,746; 3,310,492; 3,341,542; 3,444,170; 3,455,831; 3,455,832; 3,576,743; 3,630,904; 3,632,511; 3,804,763; and 4,234,435.
The use of metal salts of phosphorodithioic acids as additives for lubricants is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,263,150; 4,289,635; 4,308,154; 4,322,479; and 4,417,990. Amine salts of such acids are disclosed as being useful as additives for grease compositions in U.S. Pat. No. 5,256,321.
The book "Lubricant Additives" by M. W. Ranney, published by Noyes Data Corporation of Parkridge, N.J. (1973), discloses a number of overbased metal salts of various sulfonic acids which are useful as detergent/dispersant in lubricants. The book also entitled "lubricant Additives" by C. V. Smallheer and R. K. Smith, published by the Lezius-Hiles Co. of Cleveland, Ohio (1967), similarly discloses a number of overbased sulfonates which are useful as dispersants. U.S. Pat. No. 4,100,082 discloses the use of neutral or overbased metal salts of organic sulfur acids as detergent/dispersants for use in fuels and lubricants.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,758,362 discloses the addition of a carbamate to a low phosphorus or phosphorus free lubricating oil composition to provide a composition with enhanced extreme-pressure and antiwear properties.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,034,141 discloses that improved antiwear results can be obtained by combining a thiodixanthogen (e.g., octylthiodixanthogen) with a metal thiophosphate (e.g., ZDDP). U.S. Pat. No. 5,034,142 discloses the addition of a metal alkoxyalkylxanthate (e.g., nickel ethoxyethylxanthate), a dixanthogen (e.g., diethoxyethyl dixanthogen) and a metal thiophosphate (e.g., ZDDP) to a lubricant to improve antiwear.

The organic sulfides (A) that are useful with this invention are compounds represented by the formula ##STR3## wherein in Formula (A-I), G.sup.1 and G.sup.2 are independently R, OR, SR or NRR wherein each R is independently a hydrocarbyl group, X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 are independently O or S, and n is zero to 3. In one embodiment, X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 are each S. In one embodiment, n is 1 to 3, and in one embodiment, n is 1. Thus, compounds represented by the formula ##STR4## wherein in Formula (A-II), G.sup.1 and G.sup.2 are as defined above can be used. In one embodiment, each R is a hydrocarbyl group of 1 to about 50 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment 1 to about 40 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment 1 to about 30 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment 1 to about 20 carbon atoms.

These compounds are known and can be prepared by conventional techniques. For example, an appropriate mercaptan, alcohol or amine can first be reacted with an alkali metal reagent (e.g., NaOH, KOH) and carbon disulfide to form the corresponding thiocarbonate or dithiocarbamate. The thiocarbonate or dithiocarbamate is then reacted with an oxidizing agent (e.g., hydrogen peroxide, cobalt maleonitriledithioate, K.sub.2 Fe(CN).sub.6, FeCl.sub.3, dimethylsulfoxide, dithiobis(thioformate), copper sulfate, etc.) to form a disulfide, or with sulfur dichloride or sulfur monochloride to form a trisulfide or tetrasulfide, respectively. The oxygen-containing analogs of these compounds wherein X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 in Formula (A-I) are oxygen can be prepared by treating the sulfur-containing compounds with water or steam.
The mercaptans that can be used include the hydrocarbyl mercaptans represented by the formula R--S--H, wherein R is as defined above in Formula (A-I). In one embodiment, R is an alkyl, an alkenyl, cycloalkyl, or cycloalkenyl group. R may be an aryl (e.g., phenyl, naphthyl), alkylaryl, arylalkyl or alkylaryl alkyl group. R may also be a haloalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, or hydroxyalkyl-substituted (e.g., hydroxymethyl, hydroxyethyl, etc.) aliphatic group. In one embodiment, R contains from about 2 to about 30 carbon atoms, or from about 2 to about 24, or from about 3 to about 18 carbon atoms. Examples include butyl mercaptan, amyl mercaptan, hexyl mercaptan, octyl mercaptan, 6-hydroxymethyloctanethiol, nonyl mercaptan, decyl mercaptan, 10-amino-dodecanethiol, dodecyl mercaptan, 10-hydroxymethyl-tetradecanethiol, and tetradecyl mercaptan.

Examples of useful monohydric alcohols and alcohol mixtures include the commercially available "Alfol" alcohols marketed by Continental Oil Corporation. Alfol 810 is a mixture of alcohols containing primarily straight chain, primary alcohols having from 8 to 10 carbon atoms. Alfol 12 is a mixture of alcohols containing mostly C.sub.12 fatty alcohols. Alfol 1218 is a mixture of synthetic, primary, straight-chain alcohols containing primarily 12 to 18 carbon atoms. The Alfol 20+ alcohols are mixtures of C.sub.18 -C.sub.28 primary alcohols having mostly, on an alcohol basis, C.sub.20 alcohols as determined by GLC (gas-liquid-chromatography). The Alfol 22+ alcohols are C.sub.18 -C.sub.28 primary alcohols containing primarily, on an alcohol basis, C.sub.22 alcohols. These Alfol alcohols can contain a fairly large percentage (up to 40% by weight) of paraffinic compounds which can be removed before the reaction if desired.
Another example of a commercially available alcohol mixture is Adol 60 which comprises about 75% by weight of a straight chain C.sub.22 primary alcohol, about 15% of a C.sub.20 primary alcohol and about 8% of C.sub.18 and C.sub.24 alcohols. Adol 320 comprises predominantly oleyl alcohol. The Adol alcohols are marketed by Ashland Chemical.
A variety of mixtures of monohydric fatty alcohols derived from naturally occurring triglycerides and ranging in chain length of from C.sub.8 to C.sub.18 are available from Proctor & Gamble Company. These mixtures contain various amounts of fatty alcohols containing mainly 12, 14, 16, or 18 carbon atoms. For example, CO-1214 is a fatty alcohol mixture containing 0.5% of C.sub.10 alcohol, 66.0% of C.sub.12 alcohol, 26.0% of C.sub.14 alcohol and 6.5% of C.sub.16 alcohol.

For example, Neodol 23 is a mixture of C.sub.12 and C.sub.13 alcohols; Neodol 25 is a mixture of C.sub.12 and C.sub.15 alcohols; and Neodol 45 is a mixture of C.sub.14 to C.sub.15 linear alcohols. Neodol 91 is a mixture of C.sub.9, C.sub.10 and C.sub.11 alcohols.
Fatty vicinal diols also are useful and these include those available from Ashland Oil under the general trade designation Adol 114 and Adol 158. The former is derived from a straight chain alpha olefin fraction of C.sub.11 -C.sub.14, and the latter is derived from a C.sub.15 -C.sub.18 fraction.
The amines that can be used may be primary, secondary or tertiary amines, or mixtures thereof. Hydrocarbyl groups of the amines may be aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic. These include alkyl and alkenyl groups. In one embodiment the amine is an alkylamine wherein the alkyl group contains from 1 to about 50 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment 1 to about 30 carbon atoms.
In one embodiment, the amines are primary hydrocarbylamines containing from about 2 to about 30, and in one embodiment about 4 to about 20 carbon atoms in the hydrocarbyl group. The hydrocarbyl group may be saturated or unsaturated. Representative examples of primary saturated amines are the alkylamines such as methylamine, n-butylamine, n-hexylamine; those known as aliphatic primary fatty amines, for example, the commercially known "Armeen" primary amines (products available from Akzo Chemicals, Chicago, Ill.). Typical fatty amines include amines such as, n-octylamine, n-dodecylamine, n-tetradecylamine, n-octadecylamine (stearylamine), octadecenylamine (oleylamine), etc. Also suitable are mixed fatty amines such as Akzo's Armeen-C, Armeen-O Armeen-OD, Armeen-T, Armeen-HT, Armeen S and Armeen SD, all of which are fatty amines of varying purity.
In one embodiment, the amine is a tertiary-aliphatic primary amine having from about 4 to about 30, and in one embodiment about 6 to about 24, and in one embodiment about 8 to about 24 carbon atoms in the aliphatic group. Usually the tertiary-aliphatic primary amines are monoamines, and in one embodiment alkylamines represented by the formula ##STR9## wherein R is a hydrocarbyl group containing from 1 to about 30 carbon atoms. Such amines are illustrated by tertiary-butylamine, 1-methyl-1-amino-cyclohexane, tertiary-octyl primary amine, tertiary-tetradecyl primary amine, tertiary-hexadecyl primary amine, tertiary-octadecyl primary amine, tertiary-octacosanyl primary amine.
Mixtures of tertiary alkyl primary amines are also useful for the purposes of this invention.

The tertiary-alkyl primary amine useful for the purposes of this invention and methods for their preparation are described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,945,749 which is hereby incorporated by reference for its teachings in this regard.
Primary amines in which the hydrocarbyl group comprises olefinic unsaturation also are useful. Thus, the hydrocarbyl groups may contain one or more olefinic unsaturation depending on the length of the chain, usually no more than one double bond per 10 carbon atoms. 25 Representative amines are dodecenylamine, oleylamine and linoleylamine. Such unsaturated amines are available under the Armeen tradename.
Secondary amines include dialkylamines having two of the above hydrocarbyl, preferably alkyl or alkenyl groups described for primary amines including such commercial fatty secondary amines as Armeen 2C and Armeen HT, and also mixed dialkylamines wherein, for example, one alkyl group is a fatty group and the other alkyl group may be a lower alkyl group (1-7 carbon atoms) such as ethyl, butyl, etc., or the other hydrocarbyl group may be an alkyl group bearing other non-reactive or polar substituents (CN, alkyl, carbalkoxy, amide, ether, thioether, halo, sulfoxide, sulfone) such that the essentially hydrocarbon character of the group is not destroyed.
Tertiary amines such as trialkyl or trialkenyl amines and those containing a mixture of alkyl and alkenyl amines are useful. The alkyl and alkenyl groups are substantially as described above for primary and secondary amines.
Other useful primary amines are the primary etheramines represented by the formula R"OR'NH.sub.2 wherein R' is a divalent alkylene group having 2 to about 6 carbon atoms and R" is a hydrocarbyl group of about 5 to about 150 carbon atoms. These primary etheramines are generally prepared by the reaction of an alcohol R"OH wherein R" is as defined hereinabove with an unsaturated nitrile. Typically, the alcohol is a linear or branched aliphatic alcohol with R" having up to about 50 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment up to about 26 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment from about 6 to about 20 carbon atoms. The nitrile reactant can have from about 2 to about 6 carbon atoms, with acrylonitrile being useful. Etheramines are commercially available under the name SURFAM marketed by Mars Chemical Company, Atlanta, Ga. Typical of such amines are those having a molecular weight of from about 150 to about 400. Useful etheramines are exemplified by those identified as SURFAM P14B (decyloxypropylamine), SURFAM P16A (linear C.sub.18), SURFAM P17B (tridecyloxypropylamine). The hydrocarbyl chain lengths (i.e., C.sub.14, etc.) of the SURFAM described above and used hereinafter are approximate and include the oxygen ether linkage. For example, a C.sub.14 SURFAM amine would have the following general formula
C.sub.10 H.sub.21 OC.sub.3 H.sub.6 NH.sub.2
The amines used to form the amine salts may be hydroxyamines. In one embodiment, these hydroxyamines can be represented by the formula ##STR10## wherein R.sup.1 is a hydrocarbyl group generally containing from about 6 to about 30 carbon atoms, R.sup.2 is an ethylene or propylene group, R.sup.3 is an alkylene group containing up to about 5 carbon atoms, a is zero or one, each R.sup.4 is hydrogen or a lower alkyl group, and x, y and z are each independently integers from zero to about 10, at least one of x, y and z being at least 1. The above hydroxyamines can be prepared by techniques well known in the art, and many such hydroxyamines are commercially available. Useful hydroxyamines where in the above formula a is zero include 2-hydroxyethylhexylamine, 2-hydroxyethyloleylamine, bis(2-hydroxyethyl)hexylamine, bis(2-hydroxyethyl)oleylamine, and mixtures thereof. Also included are the comparable members wherein in the above formula at least one of x and y is at least 2.

Preferably, however, it is in the acylating agent portion. The acylating agent can vary from formic acid and its acyl derivatives to acylating agents having high molecular weight aliphatic substituents of up to 5,000, 10,000 or 20,000 carbon atoms. The amino compounds can vary from ammonia itself to amines having aliphatic substituents of up to about 30 carbon atoms.
A typical class of acylated amino compounds useful in the compositions of this invention are those made by reacting an acylating agent having an aliphatic substituent of at least 10 carbon atoms and a nitrogen compound characterized by the presence of at least one --NH-- group. Typically, the acylating agent will be a mono- or polycarboxylic acid (or reactive equivalent thereof) such as a substituted succinic or propionic acid and the amino compound will be a polyamine or mixture of polyamines, most typically, a mixture of ethylene polyamines. The amine also may be a hydroxyalkyl-substituted polyamine. The aliphatic substituent in such acylating agents preferably averages at least about 30 or 50 and up to about 400 carbon atoms.
Illustrative hydrocarbon based groups containing at least 10 carbon atoms are n-decyl, n-dodecyl, tetrapropenyl, n-octadecyl, oleyl, chlorooctadecyl, triicontanyl, etc. Generally, the hydrocarbon-based substituents are made from homo- or interpolymers (e.g., copolymers, terpolymers) of mono- and di-olefins having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, such as ethylene, propylene, butene-1, isobutene, butadiene, isoprene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, etc. Typically, these olefins are 1-monoolefins. The substituent can also be derived from the halogenated (e.g., chlorinated or brominated) analogs of such homo- or interpolymers. The substituent can, however, be made from other sources, such as monomeric high molecular weight alkenes (e.g., 1-tetracontene) and chlorinated analogs and hydrochlorinated analogs thereof, aliphatic petroleum fractions, particularly paraffin waxes and cracked and chlorinated analogs and hydrochlorinated analogs thereof, white oils, synthetic alkenes such as those produced by the Ziegler-Natta process (e.g., poly(ethylene) greases) and other sources known to those skilled in the art. Any unsaturation in the substituent may be reduced or eliminated by hydrogenation according to procedures known in the art.
The hydrocarbon-based substituents are substantially saturated, that is, they contain no more than one carbon-to carbon unsaturated bond for every ten carbon-to-carbon single bonds present. Usually, they contain no more than one carbon-to-carbon non-aromatic unsaturated bond for every 50 carbon-to-carbon bonds present.
The hydrocarbon-based substituents are also substantially aliphatic in nature, that is, they contain no more than one non-aliphatic moiety (cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl or aromatic) group of 6 or less carbon atoms for every 10 carbon atoms in the substituent. Usually, however, the substituents contain no more than one such non-aliphatic group for every 50 carbon atoms, and in many cases, they contain no such non-aliphatic groups at all; that is, the typical substituents are purely aliphatic. Typically, these purely aliphatic substituents are alkyl or alkenyl groups.
Specific examples of the substantially saturated hydrocarbon-based substituents containing an average of more than 30 carbon atoms are the following:
a mixture of poly(ethylene/propylene) groups of about 35 to about 70 carbon atoms
a mixture of the oxidatively or mechanically degraded poly(ethylene/propylene) groups of about 35 to about 70 carbon atoms
a mixture of poly(propylene/1-hexene) groups of about 80 to about 150 carbon atoms
a mixture of poly(isobutene) groups having an average of about 50 to about 200 carbon atoms
A useful source of the substituents are poly(isobutene)s obtained by polymerization of a C.sub.4 refinery stream having a butene content of about 35 to about 75 weight percent and isobutene content of about 30 to about 60 weight percent in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst such as aluminum trichloride or boron trifluoride. These polybutenes contain predominantly (greater than 80% of total repeating units) isobutene repeating units of the configuration ##STR12##
The amines useful in making these acylated nitrogen-containing compounds can be any of the amines discussed above under the subtitle "(A) Organic Sulfides."

Nos. 3,172,892; 3,219,666; 3,272,746; 3,310,492; 3,341,542; 3,444,170; 3,455,831; 3,455,832; 3,576,743; 3,630,904; 3,632,511; 3,804,763; and 4,234,435. A typical acylated nitrogen-containing compound of this class is that made by reacting a poly(isobutene)-substituted succinic anhydride acylating agent (e.g., anhydride, acid, ester, etc.) wherein the poly(isobutene) substituent has between about 50 to about 400 carbon atoms with a mixture of ethylenepolyamines having 3 to about 7 amino nitrogen atoms per ethylenepolyamine and about 1 to about 6 ethylene units made from condensation of ammonia with ethylene chloride. In view of the extensive disclosure of this type of acylated amino compound, further discussion of their nature and method of preparation is not needed here. Instead, the above-noted U.S. patents are hereby incorporated by reference for their disclosure of acylated amino compounds and their method of preparation.
Another type of acylated nitrogen compound belonging to this class is that made by reacting a carboxylic acid acylating agent with a polyamine, wherein the polyamine is the product made by condensing a hydroxy material with an amine. These compounds are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,053,152 which is incorporated herein by reference for its disclosure of such compounds.
Another type of acylated nitrogen compound belonging to this class is that made by reacting the afore-described alkyleneamines with the afore-described substituted succinic acids or anhydrides and aliphatic monocarboxylic acids having from 2 to about 22 carbon atoms. In these types of acylated nitrogen compounds, the mole ratio of succinic acid to monocarboxylic acid ranges from about 1:0.1 to about 1:1. Typical of the monocarboxylic acid are formic acid, acetic acid, dodecanoic acid, butanoic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, the commercial mixture of stearic acid isomers known as isostearic acid, tall oil acid, etc. Such materials are more fully described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,216,936 and 3,250,715 which are hereby incorporated by reference for their disclosures in this regard.
Still another type of acylated nitrogen compound useful in making the compositions of this invention is the product of the reaction of a fatty monocarboxylic acid of about 12-30 carbon atoms and the afore-described alkyleneamines, typically, ethylene-, propylene- or trimethylenepolyamines containing 2 to 8 amino groups and mixtures thereof. The fatty monocarboxylic acids are generally mixtures of straight and branched chain fatty carboxylic acids containing 12-30 carbon atoms. A widely used type of acylated nitrogen compound is made by reacting the afore-described alkylenepolyamines with a mixture of fatty acids having from 5 to about 30 mole percent straight chain acid and about 70 to about 95% mole branched chain fatty acids. Among the commercially available mixtures are those known widely in the trade as isostearic acid. These mixtures are produced as a by-product from the dimerization of unsaturated fatty acids as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,812,342 and 3,260,671.
The branched chain fatty acids can also include those in which the branch is not alkyl in nature, such as found in phenyl and cyclohexyl stearic acid and the chloro-stearic acids. Branched chain fatty carboxylic acid/alkylene polyamine products have been described extensively in the art. See for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,110,673; 3,251,853; 3,326,801; 3,337,459; 3,405,064; 3,429,674; 3,468,639; 3,857,791. These patents are hereby incorporated by reference for their disclosure of fatty acid/polyamine condensates for use in lubricating oil formulations.

The phosphorus compound (C) can be a phosphorus-containing sulfide represented by the formula ##STR16## wherein in Formula (C-IV), R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are independently hydrocarbyl groups, X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 are independently O or S, and n is zero to 3. In one embodiment X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 are each S, and n is 1. R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are independently hydrocarbyl groups that are preferably free from acetylenic unsaturation and usually also free from ethylenic unsaturation. In one embodiment R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 independently have from about 1 to about 50 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment from about 1 to about 30 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment from about 1 to about 18 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment from about 1 to about 8 carbon atoms. Each R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 can be the same as the other, although they may be different and mixtures may be used. Examples of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 groups include isopropyl, butyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, amyl, 4-methyl-2-pentyl, octyl, isooctyl, decyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl, 2-pentenyl, dodecenyl, phenyl, naphthyl, alkylphenyl, alkylnaphthyl, phenylalkyl, naphthylalkyl, alkylphenylalkyl, alkylnaphthylalkyl, and mixtures thereof.
The compounds represented by Formula (C-lV) can be prepared by first reacting an alcohol, phenol or aliphatic or aromatic mercaptan with a sulfide of phosphorus, such as P.sub.2 S.sub.3, P.sub.2 S.sub.5, P.sub.4 S.sub.3, P.sub.4 S.sub.7, P.sub.4 S.sub.10, and the like, to form a partially esterified thiophosphorus or thiophosphoric acid, and then further reacting this product as such or in the form of a metal salt with an oxidizing agent or with a sulfur halide. Thus, when an alcohol is reacted with phosphorus trisulfide, a dialkylated monothiophosphorus acid is formed according to the following equation:
4ROH+P.sub.2 S.sub.3 .fwdarw.2(RO).sub.2 PSH+H.sub.2 S
This alkylated thiophosphorus acid may then be treated with an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide or with sulfur dichloride or sulfur monochloride to form a disulfide, trisulfide, or tetrasulfide, respectively, according to the following equations:
4(RO).sub.2 PSH+O.sub.2 .fwdarw.2(RO).sub.2 P--S--S--P(OR).sub.2 +2H.sub.2O
2(RO).sub.2 PSH+SCl.sub.2 .fwdarw.(RO).sub.2 P--S--S--S--P(OR).sub.2 +2HCl
2(RO).sub.2 PSH+S.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 .fwdarw.(RO).sub.2 P--S--(S).sub.2 --S--P--(OR).sub.2 +2HCl
Similarly, when the alcohol is reacted with phosphorus pentasulfide, the corresponding di-substituted dithiophosphoric acid is formed, and this may likewise be converted into disulfide, trisulfide or tetrasulfide compounds. Suitable alcohols such as those discussed below may be employed. Sulfurized alcohols such as sulfurized oleyl alcohol may also be used. Corresponding reactions take place by starting with mercaptans, phenols or thiophenols instead of alcohols. Suitable oxidizing agents for converting the thiophosphorus and thiophosphoric acids to disulfides include iodine, potassium triodide, ferric chloride, sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, oxygen, etc.

(D) Alkali or Alkaline Earth Metal Salt
The alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts (D) are salts of organic sulfur acids, carboxylic acids or phenols. These salts can be neutral or basic. The former contain an amount of metal cation just sufficient to neutralize the acidic groups present in salt anion; the latter contain an excess of metal cation and are often termed overbased, hyperbased or superbased salts.
The sulfur acids are oil-soluble organic sulfur acids such as sulfonic, sulfamic, thiosulfonic, sulfinic, sulfenic, partial ester sulfuric, sulfurous and thiosulfuric acid. Generally they are salts of aliphatic or aromatic sulfonic acids.
The sulfonic acids include the mono- or poly-nuclear aromatic or cycloaliphatic compounds. The sulfonic acids can be represented for the most part by one of the following formulae:
R.sup.1 (SO.sub.3 H).sub.r (D-I)
(R.sup.2).sub.x T(SO.sub.3 H).sub.y (D-II)
wherein in Formulae (D-I) and (D-II), T is an aromatic nucleus such as, for example, benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, diphenylene oxide, thianthrene, phenothioxine, diphenylene sulfide, phenothiazine, diphenyl oxide, diphenyl sulfide, diphenylamine, etc; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each independently aliphatic groups, R.sup.1 contains at least about 15 carbon atoms, the sum of the carbon atoms in R.sup.2 and T is at least about 15, and r, x and y are each independently 1 or greater. Specific examples of R.sup.1 are groups derived from petrolatum, saturated and unsaturated paraffin wax, and polyolefins, including polymerized C.sub.2, C.sub.3, C.sub.4, C.sub.5, C.sub.6, etc., olefins containing from about 15 to about 7000 or more carbon atoms. The groups T, R.sup.1, and R.sup.2 in the above formulae can also contain other inorganic or organic substituents in addition to those enumerated above such as, for example, hydroxy, mercapto, halogen, nitro, amino, nitroso, sulfide, disulfide, etc. The subscript x is generally 1-3, and the subscripts r and y generally have an average value of about 1-4 per molecule.
The following are specific examples of oil-soluble sulfonic acids coming within the scope of Formulae (D-I) and (D-II), and it is to be understood that such examples serve also to illustrate the salts of such sulfonic acids useful in this invention. In other words, for every sulfonic acid enumerated it is intended that the corresponding neutral and basic metal salts thereof are also understood to be illustrated. Such sulfonic acids are mahogany sulfonic acids; bright stock sulfonic acids; sulfonic acids derived from lubricating oil fractions having a Saybolt viscosity from about 100 seconds at 100.degree. F. to about 200 seconds at 210.degree. F.; petrolatum sulfonic acids; mono- and poly-wax substituted sulfonic and polysulfonic acids of, e.g., benzene, naphthalene, phenol, diphenyl ether, naphthalene disulfide, diphenylamine, thiophene, alpha-chloronaphthalene, etc.; other substituted sulfonic acids such as alkylbenzene sulfonic acids (where the alkyl group has at least 8 carbons), cetylphenol mono-sulfide sulfonic acids, dicetyl thianthrenedisulfonic acids, dilaurylbetanaphthylsulfonic acids, and alkaryl sulfonic acids such as dodecylbenzene "bottoms" sulfonic acids.
The latter are acids derived from benzene which has been alkylated with propylene tetramers or isobutene trimers to introduce 1, 2, 3, or more branched-chain C.sub.12 substituents on the benzene ring. Dodecylbenzene bottoms, principally mixtures of mono- and di-dodecylbenzenes, are available as by-products from the manufacture of household detergents. Similar products obtained from alkylation bottoms formed during manufacture of linear alkylsulfonates (LAS) are also useful in making the sulfonates used in this invention.
The production of sulfonates from detergent manufacture byproducts is well known to those skilled in the art. See, for example, the article "Sulfonates" in Kirk-Othmer "Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology", Second Edition, Vol. 19, pp. 291 et seq. published by John Wiley & Sons, New York (1969).
Other descriptions of neutral and basic sulfonate salts and techniques for making them can be found in the following U.S. Pat. Nos.: 2,174,110; 2,174,506; 2,174,508; 2,193,824; 2,197,800; 2,202,781; 2,212,786; 2,213,360; 2,228,598; 2,223,676; 2,239,974; 2,263,312; 2,276,090; 2,276,097; 2,315,514; 2,319,121; 2,321,022; 2,333,568; 2,333,788; 2,335,259; 2,337,552; 2,347,568; 2,366,027; 2,374,193; 2,383,319; 3,312,618; 3,471,403; 3,488,284; 3,595,790; and 3,798,012. These are hereby incorporated by reference for their disclosures in this regard. Also included are aliphatic sulfonic acids such as paraffin wax sulfonic acids, unsaturated paraffin wax sulfonic acids, hydroxy-substituted paraffin wax sulfonic acids, hexapropylenesulfonic acids, tetra-amylene sulfonic acids, polyisobutenesulfonic acids wherein the polyisobutene contains from 20 to 7000 or more carbon atoms, chloro-substituted paraffin wax sulfonic acids, nitro-paraffin wax sulfonic acids, etc; cycloaliphatic sulfonic acids such as petroleum naphthenesulfonic acids, cetylcyclopentyl sulfonic acids, laurylcyclohexylsulfonic acids, bis(di-isobutyl)cyclohexyl sulfonic acids, mono- or poly-wax substituted cyclohexylsulfonic acids, etc.
With respect to the sulfonic acids or salts thereof described herein and in the appended claims, it is intended herein to employ the term "petroleum sulfonic acids" or "petroleum sulfonates" to cover all sulfonic acids or the salts thereof derived from petroleum products. A particularly valuable group of petroleum sulfonic acids are the mahogany sulfonic acids (so called because of their reddish-brown color) obtained as a by-product from the manufacture of petroleum white oils by a sulfuric acid process.
The carboxylic acids from which suitable neutral and basic alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts (D) can be made include aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, and aromatic mono- and polybasic carboxylic acids such as the naphthenic acids, alkyl- or alkenyl-substituted cyclopentanoic acids, alkyl- or alkenyl-substituted cyclohexanoic acids, alkyl- or alkenyl-substituted aromatic carboxylic acids. The aliphatic acids generally contain at least 8 carbon atoms and preferably at least 12 carbon atoms. Usually they have no more than about 400 carbon atoms. Generally, if the aliphatic carbon chain is branched, the acids are more oil-soluble for any given carbon atoms content. The cycloaliphatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids can be saturated or unsaturated. Specific examples include 2-ethylhexanoic acid, alphalinolenic acid, propylenetetramer-substituted maleic acid, behenic acid, isostearic acid, pelargonic acid, capric acid, palmitoleic acid, linoleic acid, lauric acid, oleic acid, ricinoleic acid, decanoic acid, undecanoic acid, dioctylcyclopentane carboxylic acid, myristic acid, dilauryldecahydronaphthalene carboxylic acid, stearyl-octahydroindene carboxylic acid, palmitic acid, and commercially available mixtures of two or more carboxylic acids such as tall oil acids, rosin acids, and the like.
A useful group of oil-soluble carboxylic acids useful in preparing the salts used in the present invention are the oil-soluble aromatic carboxylic acids. These acids are represented by the formula:
(R*).sub.a --Ar*(CXXH).sub.m (D-III)
wherein in Formula (D-III), R* is an aliphatic hydrocarbon-based group of at least 4 carbon atoms, and no more than about 400 aliphatic carbon atoms, a is an integer of from one to four, Ar* is a polyvalent aromatic hydrocarbon nucleus of up to about 14 carbon atoms, each X is independently a sulfur or oxygen atom, and m is an integer of from one to four with the proviso that R* and a are such that there is an average of at least 8 aliphatic carbon atoms provided by the R* groups for each acid molecule represented by Formula III. Examples of aromatic nuclei represented by the variable Ar* are the polyvalent aromatic radicals derived from benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, indene, fluorene, biphenyl, and the like. Generally, the group represented by Ar* will be a polyvalent nucleus derived from benzene or naphthalene such as phenylenes and naphthylene, e.g., methylphenylenes, ethoxyphenylenes, nitrophenylenes, isopropylphenylenes, hydroxyphenylenes, mercaptophenylenes, N,N-diethylaminophenylenes, chlorophenylenes, dipropoxynaphthylenes, triethylnaphthylenes, and similar tri-, tetra-, pentavalent nuclei thereof, etc.
The R* groups in Formula (D-III) are usually purely hydrocarbyl groups, preferably groups such as alkyl or alkenyl radicals. However, the R* groups can contain small number substituents such as phenyl, cycloalkyl (e.g., cyclohexyl, cyclopentyl, etc.) and nonhydrocarbon groups such as nitro, amino, halo (e.g., chloro, bromo, etc.), lower alkoxy, lower alkyl mercapto, oxo substituents (i.e., .dbd.O ), thio groups (i.e., .dbd.S), interrupting groups such as --NH, --O--, --S--, and the like provided the essentially hydrocarbon character of the R* group is retained. The hydrocarbon character is retained for purposes of this invention so long as any non-carbon atoms present in the R* groups do not account for more than about 10% of the total weight of the R* groups.
Examples of R* groups include butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, octyl, nonyl, dodecyl, docosyl, tetracontyl, 5-chlorohexyl, 4-ethoxypentyl, 2-hexenyl, e-cyclohexyloctyl, 4-(p-chlorophenyl)-octyl, 2,3,5-trimethylheptyl, 2-ethyl-5-methyloctyl, and substituents derived from polymerized olefins such as polychloroprenes, polyethylenes, polypropylenes, polyisobutylenes, ethylene-propylene copolymers, chlorinated olefin polymers, oxidized ethylene-propylene copolymers, and the like. Likewise, the group Ar may contain non-hydrocarbon substituents, for example, such diverse substituents as lower alkoxy, lower alkyl mercapto, nitro, halo, alkyl or alkenyl groups of less than 4 carbon atoms, hydroxy, mercapto, and the like.
A group of useful carboxylic acids are those of the formula: ##STR17## wherein in Formula (D-lV), R*, X, Ar*, m and a are as defined in Formula (D-III) and p is an integer of 1 to 4, usually 1 or 2. Within this group, a useful class of oil-soluble carboxylic acids are those of the formula: ##STR18## wherein in Formula (D-V), R** in Formula (D-V)is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group containing at least 4 to about 400 carbon atoms, a is an integer of from 1 to 3, b is 1 or 2, c is zero, 1, or 2 and preferably 1 with the proviso that R** and a are such that the acid molecules contain at least an average of about 12 aliphatic carbon atoms in the aliphatic hydrocarbon substituents per acid molecule. And within this latter group of oil-soluble carboxylic acids, the aliphatic-hydrocarbon substituted salicylic acids wherein each aliphatic hydrocarbon substituent contains an average of at least about 16 carbon atoms per substituent and one to three substituents per molecule are particularly useful. Salts prepared from such salicylic acids wherein the aliphatic hydrocarbon substituents are derived from polymerized olefins, particularly polymerized lower 1-mono-olefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyisobutylene, ethylene/propylene copolymers and the like and having average carbon contents of about 30 to 400 carbon atoms.
The carboxylic acids corresponding to Formulae (D-III) and (D-IV) above are well known or can be prepared according to procedures known in the art. Carboxylic acids of the type illustrated by the above formulae and processes for preparing their neutral and basic metal salts are well known and disclosed, for example, in such U.S. Pat.

The disclosures of these patents are hereby incorporated in this present specification for their disclosure in this regard as well as for their disclosure of specific suitable basic metal salts.
Neutral and basic salts of phenols (generally known as phenates) are also useful in the compositions of this invention and well known to those skilled in the art. The phenols from which these phenates are formed are of the general formula
(R*).sub.a --(Ar*)--(OH).sub.m (D-VII)
wherein in Formula (D-VII), R*, a, Ar*, and m have the same meaning and preferences as described hereinabove with reference to Formula (D-VII). The same examples described with respect to Formula (D-III) also apply.

One particular class of phenates for use in this invention are the basic (i.e., overbased, etc.) alkali and alkaline earth metal sulfurized phenates made by sulfurizing a phenol as described hereinabove with a sulfurizing agent such as sulfur, a sulfur halide, or sulfide or hydrosulfide salt.

Other phenates that are useful are those that are made from phenols that have been linked through alkaline (e.g., methylene) bridges. These are made by reacting single or multi-ring phenols with aldehydes or ketones, typically, in the presence of an acid or basic catalyst. Such linked phenates as well as sulfurized phenates are described in detail in U.S. Pat. No. 3,350,038; particularly columns 6-8 thereof, which is hereby incorporated by reference for its disclosures in this regard.
Mixtures of two or more neutral and basic salts of the hereinabove described organic sulfur acids, carboxylic acids and phenols can be used in the compositions of this invention.

(E) Thiocarbamate.
Component (E) is a thiocarbamate which can be represented by the formula
R.sup.1 R.sup.2 N--C(X)S--(CR.sup.3 R.sup.4).sub.a Z (E-I)
wherein in Formula (E-I), R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are independently hydrogen or hydrocarbyl groups, provided that at least one of R.sup.1 or R.sup.2 is a hydrocarbyl group; X is O or S; a is 1 or 2; and Z is a hydrocarbyl group, a hetero group (that is, a group attached through a hetero atom such as O, N, or S), a hydroxy hydrocarbyl group, an activating group, or a group represented by the formula --(S)C(X)--NR.sup.1 R.sup.2.
When a is 2, Z is an activating group. In describing Z as an "activating group," what is meant is a group which will activate an olefin to which it is attached toward nucleophilic addition by, e.g., CS.sub.2 or COS derived intermediates. (This is reflective of a method by which this material can be prepared, by reaction of an activated olefin with CS.sub.2 and an amine.) The activating group Z can be, for instance, an ester group, typically but not necessarily a carboxylic ester group of the structure --COOR.sup.5. It can also be an ester group based on a non-carbon acid, such as a sulfonic or sulfinic ester or a phosphonic or phosphinic ester. The activating group can also be any of the acids corresponding to the aforementioned esters. Z can also be an amide group, that is, based on the condensation of an acid group, preferably a carboxylic acid group, with an amine. In that case the --(CR.sup.3 R.sup.4).sub.a Z group can be derived from acrylamide. Z can also be an ether group, --OR.sup.5 ; a carbonyl group, that is, an aldehyde or a ketone group; a cyano group, --CN, or an aryl group. In one embodiment Z is an ester group of the structure, --COOR.sup.5, where R.sup.5 is a hydrocarbyl group. R.sup.5 can comprise 1 to about 18 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment 1 to about 6 carbon atoms. In one embodiment R.sup.5 is methyl so that the activating group is --COOCH.sub.3.
When a is 1, Z need not be an activating group, because the molecule is generally prepared by methods, described below, which do not involve nucleophilic addition to an activated double bond.
When Z is a hydrocarbyl or a hydroxy hydrocarbyl group, a can be zero, 1 or 2. These hydrocarbyl groups can have from 1 to about 30 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment 1 to about 18 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment 1 to about 12 carbon atoms. Examples include methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, isopentyl, heptyl, octyl, 2-ethylhexyl, nonyl, decyl, dodecyl, and the corresponding hydroxy-substituted hydrocarbyl groups such as hydroxymethyl, hydroxyethyl, hydroxypropyl, etc.
R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 can be, independently, hydrogen or methyl or ethyl groups. When a is 2, at least one of R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 is normally hydrogen so that this compound will be R.sup.1 R.sup.2 N--C(S)S--CR.sup.3 HCR.sup.3 R.sup.4 COOR.sup.5. In one embodiment the thiocarbamate is R.sup.1 R.sup.2 N--C(S)S--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 COOCH.sub.3. (These materials can be derived from methyl methacrylate and methyl acrylate, respectively. ) These and other materials containing appropriate activating groups are disclosed in greater detail in U.S. Pat. No. 4,758,362, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The substituents R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 on the nitrogen atom are likewise hydrogen or hydrocarbyl groups, but at least one should be a hydrocarbyl group. It is generally believed that at least one such hydrocarbyl group is desired in order to provide a measure of oil-solubility to the molecule. However, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 can both be hydrogen, provided the other R groups in the molecule provide sufficient oil solubility to the molecule. In practice this means that at least one of the groups R.sup.3 or R.sup.4 should be a hydrocarbyl group of at least 4 carbon atoms. In one embodiment, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 can be independently hydrocarbyl groups (e.g., aliphatic hydrocarbyl groups such as alkyl groups) of 1 to about 50 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment 1 to about 30 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment 1 to about 18 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment 1 to about 12 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment 1 to about 8 carbon atoms.
In one embodiment the thiocarbamate is a compound represented by the formula ##STR21## wherein in Formula (E-II) R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.5 are independently hydrocarbyl (e.g., alkyl) groups. These hydrocarbyl groups can have from 1 to about 18 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment 1 to about 12 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment 1 to about 8 carbon atoms, and in one embodiment 1 to about 4 carbon atoms. These compounds include S-carbomethoxyethyl-N,N-dibutyl dithiocarbamate which can be represented by the formula ##STR22##
Materials of this type can be prepared by a process described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,758,362. Briefly, these materials are prepared by reacting an amine, carbon disulfide or carbonyl sulfide, or source materials for these reactants, and a reactant containing an activated, ethylenically-unsaturated bond or derivatives thereof. These reactants are charged to a reactor and stirred, generally without heating, since the reaction is normally exothermic. Once the reaction reaches the temperature of the exotherm (typically 40.degree.-65.degree. C.), the reaction mixture is held at the temperature to insure complete reaction. After a reaction time of typically 3-5 hours, the volatile materials are removed under reduced pressure and the residue is filtered to yield the final product.
The relative amounts of the reactants used to prepare these compounds are not critical. The charge ratios to the reactor can vary where economics and the amount of the product desired are controlling factors. Thus, the molar charge ratio of the amine to the CS.sub.2 or COS reactant to the ethylenically unsaturated reactant may vary in the ranges 5:1:1 to 1:5:1 to 1:1:5. In one embodiment, the charge ratios of these reactants is 1:1:1.
In the case where a is 1, the activating group Z is separated from the sulfur atom by a methylene group. Materials of this type can be prepared by reaction of sodium dithiocarbamate with a chlorine-substituted material. Such materials are described in greater detail in U.S. Pat. No. 2,897,152, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The following example illustrates the preparation of a thiocarbamate (E) that can be used with this invention.
EXAMPLE E-1
Carbon disulfide (79.8 grams, 1.05 moles) and methyl acrylate (86 grams, 1.0 mole) are placed in a reactor and stirred at room temperature. Di-n-butylamine (129 grams, 1.0 mole) is added dropwise to the mixture. The resulting reaction is exothermic, and the di-n-butylamine addition is done at a sufficient rate to maintain the temperature at 55.degree. C. After the addition of di-n-butylamine is complete, the reaction mixture is maintained at 55.degree. C. for four hours. The mixture is blown with nitrogen at 85.degree. C. for one hour to remove unreacted starting material. The reaction mixture is filtered through filter paper, and the resulting product is a viscous orange liquid.
Lubricating Compositions, Functional Fluids and Concentrates
The lubricating compositions and functional fluids of the present invention are based on diverse oils of lubricating viscosity, including natural and synthetic lubricating oils and mixtures thereof. The lubricating compositions may be lubricating oils and greases useful in industrial applications and in automotive engines, transmissions and axles. These lubricating compositions are effective in a variety of applications including crankcase lubricating oils for spark-ignited and compression-ignited internal combustion engines, including automobile and truck engines, two-cycle engines, aviation piston engines, marine and low-load diesel engines, and the like. Also, automatic transmission fluids, farm tractor fluids, transaxle lubricants, gear lubricants, metalworking lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and other lubricating oil and grease compositions can benefit from the incorporation of the compositions of this invention. The inventive lubricating compositions are particularly effective as engine lubricating oils having enhanced antiwear properties.
The lubricant compositions of this invention employ an oil of lubricating viscosity which is generally present in a major amount (i.e. an amount greater than about 50% by weight). Generally, the oil of lubricating viscosity is present in an amount greater than about 60%, or greater than about 70%, or greater than about 80% by weight of the composition.
The natural oils useful in making the inventive lubricants and functional fluids include animal oils and vegetable oils (e.g., castor oil, lard oil) as well as mineral lubricating oils such as liquid petroleum oils and solvent treated or acid-treated mineral lubricating oils of the paraffinic, naphthenic or mixed paraffinic-naphthenic types. Oils of lubricating viscosity derived from coal or shale are also useful. Synthetic lubricating oils include hydrocarbon oils such as polymerized and interpolymerized olefins (e.g., polybutylenes, polypropylenes, propylene-isobutylene copolymers, etc.); poly(1-hexenes), poly-(1-octenes), poly(1-decenes), etc. and mixtures thereof; alkylbenzenes (e.g., dodecylbenzenes, tetradecylbenzenes, dinonylbenzenes, di-(2-ethylhexyl)benzenes, etc.); polyphenyls (e.g., biphenyls, terphenyls, alkylated polyphenyls, etc.); alkylated diphenyl ethers and alkylated diphenyl sulfides and the derivatives, analogs and homologs thereof 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 that can be used. These are exemplified by the oils prepared through polymerization of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, the alkyl and aryl ethers of these polyoxyalkylene polymers (e.g., methyl-polyisopropylene glycol ether having an average molecular weight of about 1000, diphenyl ether of polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of about 500-1000, diethyl ether of polypropylene glycol having a molecular weight of about 1000-1500, etc.) or mono- and polycarboxylic esters thereof, for example, the acetic acid esters, mixed C.sub.3-8 fatty acid esters, or the C.sub.13 Oxo acid diester of tetraethylene glycol.
Another suitable class of synthetic lubricating oils that can be used comprises the esters of dicarboxylic acids (e.g., phthalic acid, succinic acid, alkyl succinic acids, alkenyl succinic acids, maleic acid, azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, linoleic acid dimer, malonic acid, alkyl malonic acids, alkenyl malonic acids, etc.) with a variety of alcohols (e.g., butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoether, propylene glycol, 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-ethylhexanoic acid and the like.
Esters useful as synthetic oils also include those made from C.sub.2 to C.sub.12 monocarboxylic acids and polyols and polyol ethers such as neopentyl glycol, trimethylol propane, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol, tripentaerythritol, etc.
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-methylhexyl)silicate, tetra-(p-tert-butylphenyl) silicate, hexyl-(4-methyl-2-pentoxy)disiloxane, 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 decanephosphonic acid, etc.), polymeric tetrahydrofurans and the like.
Unrefined, refined and rerefined oils, either natural or synthetic (as well as mixtures of two or more of any of these) of the type disclosed hereinabove can be used in the lubricants of the present invention. Unrefined oils are those obtained directly from a natural or synthetic source without further purification treatment. For example, a shale oil obtained directly from retorting operations, a petroleum oil obtained directly from primary distillation or ester oil obtained directly from an esterification process and used without further treatment would be an unrefined oil. Refined oils are similar to the unrefined oils except they have been further treated in one or more purification steps to improve one or more properties. Many such purification techniques are known to those skilled in the art such as solvent extraction, secondary distillation, acid or base extraction, filtration, percolation, etc. Rerefined oils are obtained by processes similar to those used to obtain refined oils applied to refined oils which have been already used in service. Such rerefined oils are also known as reclaimed or reprocessed oils and often are additionally processed by techniques directed to removal of spent additives and oil breakdown products.

In one embodiment the phosphorus content is in the range of about 0.01% to about 0.12% by weight, and in one embodiment about 0.01% to about 0.11% by weight, and in one embodiment about 0.02% to about 0.10% by weight and in one embodiment about 0.05% to about 0.10% by weight.
The invention also provides for the use of lubricants and functional fluids containing other additives in addition to components (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E). Such additives include, for example, detergents and dispersants, corrosion-inhibiting agents, antioxidants, viscosity improving agents, extreme pressure (E.P.) agents, pour point depressants, friction modifiers, fluidity modifiers, anti-foam agents, etc.
The inventive lubricating compositions and functional fluids can contain one or more detergents or dispersants of the ash-producing or ashless type in addition to those that would be considered as being within the scope of the above-discussed components. The ash-producing detergents are exemplified by oil-soluble neutral and basic salts of alkali or alkaline earth metals with 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., polyisobutene 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.
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 lubricant compositions and functional fluids 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 basic inorganic materials. Examples of these "carboxylic dispersants" are described in many U.S. Pat. Nos. including 3,219,666; 4,234,435; and 4,938,881. These include the products formed by the reaction of a polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride with an amine such as a polyethylene amine.
(2) Reaction products of relatively high molecular weight aliphatic or alicyclic halides with amines, preferably oxyalkylene polyamines. These may be characterized as "amine dispersants" and examples thereof are described for example, in the following U.S. Pat. Nos.: 3,275,554; 3,438,757; 3,454,555; and 3,565,804.
(3) Reaction products of alkyl phenols in which the alkyl group contains at least about 30 carbon atoms with aldehydes (especially formaldehyde) and amines (especially polyalkylene polyamines), which may be characterized as "Mannich dispersants." The materials described in the following U.S. Pat. Nos. are illustrative: 3,649,229; 3,697,574; 3,725,277; 3,725,480; 3,726,882; and 3,980,569.
(4) Products obtained by post-treating the amine or Mannich dispersants with such reagents as urea, thiourea, carbon disulfide, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, hydrocarbon-substituted succinic anhydrides, nitriles, epoxides, boron compounds, phosphorus compounds or the like. Exemplary materials of this kind are described in the following U.S. Pat. Nos.: 3,639,242; 3,649,229; 3,649,659; 3,658,836; 3,697,574; 3,702,757; 3,703,536; 3,704,308; and 3,708,422.
(5) Interpolymers of oil-solubilizing monomers such as decyl methacrylate, vinyl decyl ether and high molecular weight olefins with monomers containing polar substituents, e.g., aminoalkyl acrylates or acrylamides and poly-(oxyethylene)-substituted acrylates. These may be characterized as "polymeric dispersants" and examples thereof are disclosed in the following U.S. Pat. Nos.: 3,329,658; 3,449,250; 3,519,565; 3,666,730; 3,687,849; and 3,702,300.
The above-noted patents are incorporated by reference herein for their disclosures of ashless dispersants.
The inventive lubricating compositions and functional fluids can contain one or more extreme pressure, corrosion inhibitors and/or oxidation inhibitors. Extreme pressure agents and corrosion- and oxidation-inhibiting agents which may be included in the lubricants and functional fluids of the invention are exemplified by chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as chlorinated wax; organic sulfides and polysulfides such as benzyl disulfide, bis(chlorobenzyl)disulfide, dibutyl tetrasulfide, sulfurized methyl ester of oleic acid, sulfurized alkylphenol, sulfurized dipentene, and sulfurized terpene; phosphosulfurized hydrocarbons such as the reaction product of a phosphorus sulfide with turpentine or methyl oleate; metal thiocarbamates, such as zinc dioctyldithiocarbamate, and barium heptylphenyldithiocarbamate; dithiocarbamate esters from the reaction product of dithiocarbamic acid and acrylic, methacrylic, maleic, fumaric or itaconic esters; dithiocarbamate containing amides prepared from dithiocarbamic acid and an acrylamide; alkylene-coupled dithiocarbamates; sulfur-coupled dithiocarbamates. Many of the above-mentioned extreme pressure agents and oxidation-inhibitors also serve as antiwear agents.
Pour point depressants are a useful type of additive often included in the lubricating oils and functional fluids described herein. The use of such pour point depressants in oil-based compositions to improve low temperature properties of oil-based compositions is well known in the art. See, for example, page 8 of "Lubricant Additives" by C. V. Smallheer and R. Kennedy Smith (Lezius Hiles Co. publishers, Cleveland, Ohio, 1967). Examples of useful pour point depressants are polymethacrylates; polyacrylates; polyacrylamides; condensation products of haloparaffin waxes and aromatic compounds; vinyl carboxylate polymers; and terpolymers of dialkylfumarates, vinyl esters of fatty acids and alkyl vinyl ethers. A specific pour point depressant that can be used is the product made by alkylating naphthalene with polychlorinated paraffin and C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 alpha-olefin. Pour point depressants useful for the purposes of this invention, techniques for their preparation and their uses are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,387,501; 2,015,748; 2,655,479; 1,815,022; 2,191,498; 2,666,746; 2,721,877; 2,721,878; and 3,250,715 which are herein incorporated by reference for their relevant disclosures.
Anti-foam agents are used to reduce or prevent the formation of stable foam. Typical anti-foam agents include silicones or organic polymers. Additional antifoam compositions are described in "Foam Control Agents," by Henry T. Kerner (Noyes Data Corporation, 1976), pages 125-162.
Each of the foregoing additives, when used, is used at a functionally effective amount to impart the desired properties to the lubricant or functional fluid. Thus, for example, if an additive is a dispersant, a functionally effective amount of this dispersant would be an amount sufficient to impart the desired dispersancy characteristics to the lubricant or functional fluid. Similarly, if the additive is an extreme-pressure agent, a functionally effective amount of the extreme-pressure agent would be a sufficient amount to improve the extreme-pressure characteristics of the lubricant or functional fluid. Generally, the concentration of each of these additives, when used, ranges from about 0.001% to about 20% by weight, and in one embodiment about 0.01% to about 10% by weight based on the total weight of the lubricant or functional fluid.
Components (A) and (B), and optional components (C), (D) and (E) of the inventive compositions as well as one of the other above-discussed additives or other additives known in the art can be added directly to the lubricant or functional fluid. In one embodiment, however, they are diluted with a substantially inert, normally liquid organic diluent such as mineral oil, naphtha, benzene, toluene or xylene to form an additive concentrate. These concentrates usually contain from about 1% to about 99% by weight, and in one embodiment about 10% to about 90% by weight of the inventive composition (that is, components (A) and (B), and optional components (C), (D) and (E)) and may contain, in addition, one or more other additives known in the art or described hereinabove. The remainder of the concentrate is the substantially inert normally liquid diluent.
