Multifunctional lubricant additives

The invention relates to novel reaction products of S-(2-hydroxy-3-S-alkyl)-propyl O,O-dialkyl esters of mono- or dithiophosphoric acid with cyclic anhydrides, their use as multipurpose additives, in particular as anticorrosion, high pressure and antiwear additives and antioxidants, in lubricants and hydraulic or metalworking fluids, and to compositions comprising at least one of these compounds.
During typical use, lubricants and hydraulic and metalworking fluids in permanent contact with the surface of metallic materials are exposed to high temperatures and the influence of atmospheric oxygen and moisture. More prolonged use therefore leads to oxidative degradation, which can be accelerated catalytically by the contact with metal. This often leads to an increase in the acidity and viscosity of the liquid, so that corrosion of the surface of the material is promoted and the general use properties deteriorate.
It is known for additives to be added to the oils used in lubricating systems. Those which are of great importance are, for example, additives which suppress oxidative degradation of the lubricants, those which protect the moving metal components from wear, additives which have a protective action against high pressure and those which act as anticorrosion or rustproofing agents. However, in many cases, the various types of additives impede one another in their action; thus, for example, many corrosion inhibitors reduce the action of the high pressure additives.
This antagonism can be overcome by using a multifunctional additive. Some classes of compounds which are capable of achieving several of the desired actions have already been described; for example, EP-A 398 843 describes triazine compounds which exhibit both a corrosion-inhibiting and a wear-inhibiting action;
U.S. Pat. No. 2,836,564 describes novel reaction products of alpha-halogenated aliphatic monocarboxylic acids and 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole and their use as anticorrosion and rustproofing agents; the usability of the reaction products of alpha-halogenated half-esters or amides of pyruvic acid and thiazole dimercaptides as multifunctional additives with a protective action against high pressure, wear, oxidation and corrosion is mentioned in EP-A 223 916;
the usability of carboxylic acid derivatives bonded to an aliphatic radical via a disulfide bridge in the alpha-position as additives having an anticorrosion and antiwear function is mentioned in EP-A 291 236;
EP-A 166 696 proposes, inter alia, alkyl-thiaglycidyl thiophosphates as additives to lubricants having an oxidation- and corrosion-preventing action and for improving the high pressure and antiwear properties;
U.S. Pat. No. 4,834,893 discloses the usability, inter alia, of some anhydride half-esters which are derived from dithiophosphates, such as mono[(O,O-di-2-ethylhexyl-S-2-hydroxypropyl)phosphorodithioate]-dodecenylsuccinic acid ester and metal salts thereof, in particular the Li and Cu salt, as additives to lubricants and liquid fuels. The compounds have an action as antioxidants and as antiwear and rustproofing agents, as well as a potential action as corrosion inhibitors. Esters, amides and amine salts of such compounds are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,019,282.
The invention relates to novel compounds which have several of the abovementioned properties, which renders them particularly suitable multipurpose additives. In addition to having an action as antiwear and anticorrosion agents and an antioxidant action, the compounds also have properties which render them usable as additives in high pressure protection. The integration of wear protection, corrosion protection and high pressure protection in one additive is particularly surprising.

These are to be understood as meaning those compounds in which the proton of the free carboxyl group in formula (I) is replaced by one equivalent of a metal cation, for example of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal or of one of the metals zinc or copper, or by ammonium or ammonium which is mono-, di- or trisubstituted by C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl.

The invention furthermore relates to compositions comprising a) a lubricant or a hydraulic or a metal working fluid and b) one or more compounds of the formula (I). Compositions in which component a) is a lubricant are preferred. Preferred forms of component b) are the same as those described above.
The lubricants and hydraulic and metal working fluids which the compositions according to the invention comprise may decompose more or less readily under the influence of heat, electromagnetic radiation, mechanical stress (in particular by shearing forces) and oxidising substances (in particular atmospheric oxygen). Decomposition products formed in this way, like the water present, contribute toward corrosion of the metal surfaces coming into contact with them.
The compounds of the formula (I) serve as protection against such influences and should advantageously be present in the compositions according to the invention to the extent of 0.01 to 10, for example to the extent of 0.01 to 5, preferably to the extent of 0.03 to 3, in particular to the extent of 0.2 to 0.7 (or in combination with other antiwear additives to the extent of 0.03 to 0.25) percent by weight. One or more of these compounds can be present here. The percentage data relate to the total weight of these compounds, and the basis of calculation is the total weight of component a) and any other components, without component b) (compounds of the formula (I)).
The invention furthermore relates to the use of compounds of the formula (I) as multipurpose additives, in particular in lubricants and metal working and hydraulic fluids. Such a use also means a process for improving the use properties of lubricants and metal working and hydraulic fluids. The use according to the invention also includes protection of the metal components to be lubricated from mechanical erosion (wear protection).
The lubricants and metal working and hydraulic fluids in question are based on, for example, mineral or synthetic oils or mixtures thereof. The lubricants are familiar to the expert and are described in the relevant technical literature, for example in Dieter Klamann, "Schmierstoffe und verwandte Produkte (Lubricants and Related Products)" (Verlag Chemie, Weinheim 1982), in Schewe-Kobek, "Das Schmiermittel-Taschenbuch (The Lubricants Pocketbook)" (Dr. Alfred Huthig-Verlag, Heidelberg 1974) and in "Ullmanns Enzyklopadie der technischen Chemie (Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry)", volume 13, pages 85-94 (Verlag Chemie, Weinheim 1977).
The lubricants are, in particular, oils and fats, for example those based on a mineral oil. Oils are preferred.
Another group of lubricants which can be used vegetable or animal oils, fats, tallows and waxes or mixtures thereof with one another or mixtures with the mineral or synthetic oils mentioned. Vegetable or animal oils, fats, tallows and waxes are, for example, palm-kernel oil, palm oil, olive oil, colza oil, rapeseed oil, linseed oil, groundnut oil, soybean oil, cotton oil, sunflower oil, pumpkin seed oil, coconut oil, maize oil, castor oil, walnut oil and mixtures thereof, fish oil, tallows from slaughtered animals, neat's-foot oil and bone oil, as well as modified, epoxidised and sulfoxidised forms thereof, for example epoxidised soybean oil.
The mineral oils are based on, in particular, hydrocarbon compounds.
Examples of synthetic lubricants include lubricants based on aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic esters, on polymeric esters, on polyalkylene oxides, on phosphoric acid esters, on poly-.alpha.-olefins or on silicones, or on a diester of a dibasic acid with a monohydric alcohol, for example dioctyl sebacate or dinonyl adipate, on a triester of trimethylolpropane tricaprylate or mixtures thereof, on a tetraester of pentaerythritol with a monobasic acid or a mixture of such acids, for example pentaerythritol tetracaprylate, or on a complex ester of monobasic and dibasic acids with polyhydric alcohols, for example a complex ester of trimethylolpropane with caprylic and sebacic acid, or of a mixture thereof. In addition to mineral oils, particularly suitable lubricants are, for example, poly-.alpha.-olefins, lubricants based on esters, phosphates, glycols, polyglycols and polyalkylene glycols, and mixtures thereof with water.
The metal working fluids and hydraulic fluids can be prepared on the basis of the same substances as described above for the lubricants. They are often also emulsions of such substances in water or other liquids.
Lubricant compositions according to the invention are used, for example, in combustion engines, inter alia in motor vehicles.
The compounds according to formula (I) are readily soluble in lubricants and metal working and hydraulic fluids, and are therefore particularly suitable as additives to these substances. Particular reference is made to their surprisingly good wear- and corrosion-inhibiting action.
The invention therefore also relates to a process for improving the use properties of lubricants and metal working and hydraulic fluids, which comprises adding one or more compounds of the formula (I) to these.
The compositions according to the invention can contain several other additives, for example anticorrosion agents, rust inhibitors, metal deactivators, agents for improving the viscosity index, dispersing agents, antioxidants, pour-point depressants or high pressure or antiwear additives, in order to improve their fundamental properties still further. Examples of such coadditives are listed below.

PREPARATION OF THE COMPOUNDS OF THE FORMULA (I)
The compounds of the formula (I) can be prepared by methods which are known per se, for example by reaction of compounds of the formula (II) ##STR11## with corresponding cyclic anhydrides of the formula (III) ##STR12## Compounds of the formula (III) are commercially obtainable in some cases, and can be synthesised by known methods, which are described, for example in: Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology, Volume 1, pages 117 and 118, Interscience Publishers/Wiley, New York 1964. X, R, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 in each case are as defined above.
The compounds of the formula (II) known from EP-A 166 696 can be obtained by reaction of a corresponding diester of thiophosphoric acid ##STR13## with the desired 2,3-epoxypropyl thioether ##STR14## The O,O-diesters of dithiophosphoric acid can be prepared in accordance with U.S. Pat. No. 4,834,893 by reaction of corresponding alcohols with P.sub.2 S.sub.5. Comparable derivatives of thiophosphoric acid (X=oxygen) can be obtained as ammonium salts and described in EP-A 125 209 by reaction of corresponding phosphites ##STR15## with S/NH.sub.3. The ammonium salts can then be further reacted directly with the epoxy compound; see DE-B 3 025 277, or can also first be converted into the corresponding free acid.
For the reaction of the compounds (II) with (III), an approximately equimolar amount of the cyclic anhydride is appropriately added slowly to a chosen amount of the starting compound of the formula (II). The starting compound can be initially introduced into a solvent. Suitable solvents are, for example, toluene or dibutyl ether, or mixtures of the two. The reaction can be carried out in the presence of a catalyst, which is initially introduced together with the starting compound or is added after about half the reaction time. Suitable catalysts are, for example, 4-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid or 4-dimethylamino-pyridine. The mixture is advantageously kept at a constant temperature throughout the entire reaction time. The reaction temperature can be, for example, 20.degree. to 150.degree. C., and is in general 50.degree. to 120.degree. C., preferably 50.degree. to 80.degree. C. The reaction time can be 1 to 24 hours, and is generally between 5 and 16 hours. Working up can be carried out by the methods usually used, for example by washing the organic phase, drying, and removing the solvent.
The isomer mixture (R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are not identical to R.sub.3 and R.sub.6) as a rule obtained (except when symmetric anhydrides are used) can be separated, if desired, with the aid of customary physico-chemical processes. In practice, separation is not necessary. The isomer mixtures can be added as such to the lubricants and metalworking and hydraulic fluids.
To prepare the ammonium salts of compounds of the formula (I), a stoichiometric amount of the corresponding amine, if appropriate also in a solvent, is advantageously added to a solution of the desired compound, and after thorough mixing, the solvent or solvents is or are removed by applying reduced pressure. A suitable solvent is, for example, toluene.
Metal salts of compounds of the formula (I) can be obtained by reaction with corresponding metal hydroxides. The corresponding compound with a free acid function is advantageously introduced into a solvent, the hydroxide is added and the water is then entrained with the solvent by heating the reaction mixture under nitrogen.
To prepare the copper salt, the starting compound is preferably Cu(II) acetylacetonate, which is added to a solution of the compound of the formula (I). After thorough mixing, the acetylacetone liberated and the solvent used are removed in the same manner as in the preparation of the ammonium salts. A suitable solvent is toluene.

Wear Prevention and Corrosiveness with Respect to Copper
ASTM standard method D-2783-81 using the Shell four ball tester (FBT) is used for testing for suitability as an antiwear additive. An oil having a viscosity of 26.2 mm.sup.2 /s at 40.degree. C. and 4.8 mm.sup.2 /s at 100.degree. C. and a sulfur content of 0.54% is used as the base oil. The compound to be tested from the particular example mentioned is added to the base oil in each case in an amount of 1% by weight. The following are determined:
a) The weld load WL as the load (in kg) at which the 4 balls weld together within 10 s, and
b) the average wear scar diameter WSD under a load of 20 kg over a period of one hour (in mm).
The corrosiveness with respect to copper is determined in accordance with ASTM standard method D-130. For this, a polished strip of copper is immersed for three hours in a sample composition kept at 120.degree. C. This consists of the base oil described above with additionally 0.03% of a commercially available copper passivator of the 1-di-(2-ethylhexyl)-aminomethyltolutriazole type and, with the exception of a comparison sample, in each case 1% of the compound according to the invention. The copper strip is then removed from the oil, cleaned and evaluated, the ASTM Copper Strip Corrosion Standards being used for the evaluation. The evaluation comprises four stages:
1--no deposit
2--moderate deposite
3--severe deposit
4--corrosion,
a fine subclassification also be being made within the numerical groups 1 to 4 on the basis of shadowing on the samples. In the qualitative evaluation from A to E, the rating A precedes B, B precedes C and so on.
The results on 1% strength solutions of the particular compounds according to the invention in the base oil described above are shown in Table 3.
