BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Present-day automobile and diesel engines have been designed for higher-power output, lower combustion products emission and longer in service periods of use of crankcase lubricating oils. All of these design changes have necessitated devising higher efficiency lubricating oils that will under the increased severity of in service use afford protection against corrosion of and deposition of sludge and varnish on engine parts that otherwise tend to accelerate decrease in both operating efficiency and life of the engine. The principle ingredient of crankcase lubricants is lubricating oil, a mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum. There is a limit to which those hydrocarbon oils per se can be improved, e.g. removal of polymerizable components, acidic or acid forming components, waxes and other low temperature solids formers, and other deleterious components. A lubricant base oil refined even to the optimum still requires certain oil-soluble chemical addition agents to resist oxidation of the oil, deposition of sludge and varnish on metal parts and corrosion of metal parts and to provide added lubricity and regulated viscosity change from low to high temperatures. No one chemical addition agent has been found that provides all those extra functions.

Combustion products from the burning of fuel, lubricating oil and nitrogen of air as well as products of thermal degradation of hydrocarbon lubricating oils and addition agents tend to concentrate in the crankcase oil. Those products of combustion and thermal degradation tend to form oil-insoluble products that either surface coat metal parts (lacquer or varnish like films) or settle out as viscous (sludge) deposits or form solid ash-like or carbonaceous deposits. Any of these deposits can restrict and even plug grooves, channels and holes provided for lubricant flow to moving surfaces requiring lubrication. Crankcase oils are formulated (dissolving of addition agents in highly refined hydrocarbon lubricating oils) not only to reduce thermal decomposition of oil solvent and addition agent solutes but also to keep in suspension (as a dispersant) or to resuspend (as a detergent) insoluble combustion and thermal degradation products as well as neutralize acidic products. Neutral and over-based metallo-organic compounds such as the alkaline earth metal salts of sulfonic acids and hydrocarbon-P 8 reaction products were first used as dispersant-detergent addition agents. Their in service drawbacks were that their combustion and/or thermal degradation products left metal ash solids, they could not efficiently resuspend or disperse lacquer and varnish formers or sludge formers to meet present-day engine requirements and they lost their dispersant-detergent function when their alkaline earth metal component had been consumed by neutralizing acidic products of combustion.

Thus as the periods of in service use of crankcase oils were lengthened, lengthening of periods between oil drains for both automobile engines and railway diesel engines, more efficient dispersancy and detergency performance acid neutralization and a lower ash-forming tendency were needed for chemical addition agents used in lubricating oils. Many researchers have recently expended much effort directed to this problem. One new approach taken by researchers in different laboratories was to devise amine derivatives, e.g. salts, amides, imides and amidines of polycarboxylic acids that would function as dispersant-detergent addition agents. Others devised polymeric compounds having pendent or grafted-on pendent polar groups that provided the dispersant-detergent function. Still others devised for that dispersant-detergent function combinations of alkaline earth metal sulfonates and Mannich condensation products of a low molecular weight alkyl-substituted (C to C hydroxyaromatic compound, an amine having at least one replaceable hydrogen on a nitrogen and an aldehyde or alkaline earth metal salts (phenates) of those Mannich condensation products. Those combinations did not overcome the formation of metal-ash nor were they particularly suitable for the increased dispersancy-detergency service for long drain service of present-day engine requirements even though the combination offered some anti-oxidation activity.

The present invention is directed to boron-containing derivatives of high molecular weight Mannich condensation products derived from high molecular weight alkylated hydroxyaromatic compounds. Mannich condensation products derived from alkyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic compounds having relatively low molecular weight alkyl substituents, i.e. four to 20 carbon atoms in the alkyl hydrocarbon substituent and chlorinated wax (straight chain) type alkyl-substituents are known from prior U.S. Pats. such as No. 2,403,453, No. 2,353,491, No. 2,459,112, No. 2,984,550 and No. 3,036,003. However, boron-containing derivatives of those prior Mannich condensation products have not been disclosed for any lubricant oil use perhaps because those prior Mannich condensation products per se are not particularly suitable as sole dispersantdetergent addition agents for crankcase lubricants.

The Mannich condensation products closest to those from which the boron-containing derivatives of the present invention are derived are those Mannich condensation products illustrated below. One type of prior Mannich condensation product is that derived from the reaction of a low molecular weight alkyl phenol, an N, N-disubstituted amine and formaldehyde according to the following equation:

wherein R is a C to C alkyl group or chlorinated wax (straight chain) alkyl group and R is an alkyl and/or aryl radical.

A second type of prior Mannich condensation product is obtained by C to C alkyl phenols, formaldehyde and a diamine or diamino arene in the ratio of two moles of said alkyl phenol and two moles formaldehyde for each mole of diamine of the formula H N- R-NI-I where R is a divalent alkylene or arylene hydrocarbon. Such condensation products have been illustrated in the prior art by the following structural formula:

OH OH where A is a divalent alkylene radical of two to six carbon atoms and n is an integer of from 1 to or a polymeric ethylene imine of 30,000 to 40,000 molecular weight. The resulting products are illustrated in U.S. Pat: No. 3,036,003. It would appear from this reference that the reactants used for the preparation of those Mannich condensation products react equally with either the primary amino (-NH group or the secondary amino (--Nl-l-) groups in the alkylene polyamine or polymeric ethylene imine chain substantially without preference.

Certain of "the Mannich condensation products are disclosed by U.S. Pat. No. 3,036,003 as useful per se in as an oil soluble dispersant. For example, 2 percentof the tetra-(2-hydroxy-5-tertiary-octyl-benzyl) substituted product (from use of the molar ratio reaction of 4 moles p-t.octyl phenol, 4 moles formaldehyde and one mole tetraethylene pentamine used in a carbon black suspension test according to that patent'kept all (0.25 grams) of vthe carbon black suspended in a hydrocarbon solvent (mixture of equal volumes of each of kerosene and a mineral oil blend having a viscosity of 90 SSU at 210 F.). However, that patent demonstrates by an oxidation stability test that the same tetra- (2-hydroxy-t.octylbenzyl) substituted tetraethylene pentamine alone (no other detergent) permits sludge and varnish formulation as well as oxidation of the base oil solvent. Thus U.S. Pat. No. 3,036,003 demonstrates as unsuitable its Mannich condensation products when used alone as the sole dispersant or detergent.

Mannich condensation products of the prior art are prepared by reacting the alkyl phenol, lower aliphatic aldehyde (such as formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde and acetaldehyde) and amine, diaminoalkane, diaminoarene or alkylene polyamine at 100 to 350 F. in the absence or presence of a solvent. When a solvent is used, benzene, toluene, xylene and others easily removed from the condensation product are useful as are light mineral oil such as those used in blending stocks to prepare lubricant oil formulations as well as mixtures of these two types of solvents. Since water is formed as a by-product, the condensation reaction is conducted at least in part at a temperature sufficiently high, at least during the last part of the process, to drive off by-product either as water, as such, or as an azeotropic mixture with the aromatic solvent.

Also the prior art type Mannich condensation products were mainly taught as useful in lubricants in the form of the exactly neutralized or highly basic (or over-based) alkaline earth metal salts (alkaline earth metal phenate derivatives) of the Mannich products. The free phenates were not considered to have sufficient detergency or dispersancy to supply these functions alone but rather were taught as useful in combination with other detergent or dispersant, e.g. calcium or magnesium sulfonates, addition agents.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Our invention is predicated upon the following discoveries: We have discovered that novel boron-containing derivatives of high molecular weight Mannich condensation products can be prepared from reactants (1) an alkyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic (phenolic) compounds having upward from 40 to about 20,000 carbon atoms in the alkyl substituent, (2) a compound having an active hydrogen on a nitrogen, i.e. having an and (3) an aldehyde by reacting or condensing a boron compound, e.g. boric acids and boric acid esters with the high molecular weight Mannich condensation products to provide a boron to nitrogen (B/N) weight ratio of 0.1 to. 4.0. Further, we have discovered that lubricating oil solutions of those boron-containing high molecular weight Mannich condensation products having 0.1 to weight percent of such boron-containing additives as solutes are novel compositions that provide or can be used to provide improved lubricant compositions having highly efficient dispersant-detergent properties and antioxidant properties.

The high molecular weight Mannich condensation products of this invention can be made by using the above-named reactants in the respective molar ratio suitable of l:0.ll0:l.0l0 and desirably l:0.7l.0:l.0 5-2.1. The technique for preparing such high molecular weight condensation products is, in general, the same as that before described to prepare the prior art low molecular weight Mannich condensation products. But for Mannich products having more than one molar equivalent of methylene or substituted methylene bridge (from the aldehyde reactant) joining hydroxyalkylphenyl to amino nitrogen, a two condensation step preparative method can be advantageously used. For example, the two Mannich condensation step route is advantageous for use of reactants (l), (2) and (3) above in the respective molar ratio of l.0:0.7-l.0:l .052.l when the amine reactant contains two primary amino (-Nl-l radicals. For example, in place of adding all of the formaldehyde yielding reactant to a mixture of alkyl phenol and such amines as have two primary amino radicals under Mannich condensation reaction conditions as in the general technique, twothirds of the formaldehyde yielding reactant is added to a mixture of alkyl phenol and amine having two primary amino radicals under Mannich reaction conditions and after the first by-product water has been substantially removed, the last one-third of formaldehyde yielding reactant is added under Mannich reaction conditions. Such a two Mannich step condensation reaction product, it is believed, is a mixture of head-to-tail and tail-to-tail type of bis-Mannich condensation products hereafter illustrated in simplified form rather than a more complex mixture of condensation products as would likely result from a one step Mannich reaction using the same three reactants in the same'reactant molar ratio, Analytical inspection of such mixture of head-to-tail and tail-to-tail condensation products tends to exclude methylene group bridging between nitrogen of secondary-amino groups and aromatic nuclear carbons especially when the amine reactant is a polyalkylene polyamine having three or more nitrogens as in diethylene triamine, triethylene tetramine, tetraethylene pentamine, pentaethylene hexamine and the like polyamines.

The general Mannich condensation preparative technique of adding all of the formaldehyde yielding reactant to the mixture of high molecular weight alkyl phenol and polyamine reactant under Mannich reaction conditions produces from the respective molar ratio of those reactants (l), (2) and (3) of 1107-1215 -2.l, highly useful products substantially equivalent in nitrogen utilization, viscosity and in service performance to the products from the above described two Mannich condensation step process.

The boron-containing derivatives of any of the foregoing high molecular weight Mannich condensation products are the products of this invention and, as before stated, are highly useful as lubricating oil addition agents. These boron-containing derivatives that a B/N ratio of 0.1 to 4.0 and can be made by condensation or reaction compound of 1) those high molecular weight Mannich condensation products and (2) a boron compound reactive and/or coordinatable with a polar group such as an hydroxy group and/or a nitrogen-containing group present in the Mannich condensation products. Boron compounds having that property of reaction and/or coordination include boron oxide, boron oxide hydrate, boron trifluoride, boron tribromide, boron trichloride, HBF boron acids such as boronic acid (e.g., alkylB(OH) or aryl--B(OH) boric acid (i.e. H 80 tetraboric acid (i.e., H B 0 metaboric acid (i.e., H80 amides of such boron acids, and esters of such boron acids. The use of boric acid as the reactant to introduce boron into the high molecular weight Mannich condensation products is preferred. The manner of using such boron reactants with nitrogen-containing compounds in general is known and is disclosed for example in U.S. Pats. No. 3,000,916 and No. 3,087,936 among others.

As mentioned before the boron-containing derivatives of the high molecular weight Mannich condensation products of this invention are exceptionally useful addition agents for lubricating oil imparting thereto dispersant-detergent and antioxidant properties at relatively low concentrations of the addition agents, e.g. 0.1 to 10 weight percent in formulated crankcase lubricating oils. Higher concentrations of those addition agents, e.g. upward from 10 and up to 70 weight percent are useful concentrates for the preparation of those formulated crankcase lubricating oils and the fortification of used crankcase oil prior to scheduled complete drain. In contrast, boron-containing .derivatives of prior known Mannich condensation products derived from low molecular weight alkyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic compounds whose alkyl groups contain two to 20 carbon atoms are wholly unacceptable as dispersant-detergent addition agents for crank-case lubricating oils.

Illustration of the foregoing superiority of the present inventive boron-containing derivatives of Mannich condensation products from high molecular weight alkyl-substituted phenols over the prior art Mannich condensation products from low molecular weight alkyl phenols can be made by consideration of their abilities to prevent sludge and varnish deposition in standardized, industry accepted engine tests. To be acceptable dispersant-detergent addition agents for such in service use in present-day engines, the addition agents must provide dispersancy-detergency functions in those tests so that at the end of the engine test upon inspection of disassembled engine parts they provide over-all sludge and varnish deposit ratings of 40 and over. Such ratings are determined on a 0-50 scale where a rating of 50 for each of sludge and varnish means a clean engine free from detectable sludge and varnish. The boron-containing prior art Mannich condensation products used in crankcase lubricating oils as the sole source of dispersant-detergent addition agent at the maximum concentration levels at which they can be incorporated in lubricating oil cannot provide acceptable sludge or varnish ratings when used in such a standardized engine test. However, the present inventive boron-containing Mannich condensation products when used as the sole dispersant-detergent addition agent in lubricating oils suitably in the range of 0.1 to 10 and preferably 0.5 to 5.0, weight percent provide crankcase lubricating oils that in the same standardized engine tests give sludge and varnish ratings of 40 and higher, e.g. in the range of 45 to 50.

EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION Representative high molecular weight Mannich condensation products used to prepare the inventive boron-containing products can be prepared from the following representative reactants of the classes before defined.

( 1) HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT ALKYL- SUBSTITUTED HYDROXYAROMATICS Representative of these high molecular weight alkylsubstituted hydroxyaromatic compounds are polypropylphenol, polybutylphenol, polyamylphenol and other polyalkyl phenols obtained by the alkylation of polyamylphenol with the appropriate molecular weight polypropylene, polybutylene, polyamylene and the like to give the suitable C to Czomo alkyl substituent on the benzene ring of phenol. Also such substituted cresols, thymol, carvacrol, hydroxy xylenes, naphthols and the like with C to Czomo alkyl-substituents can be used. The C to Czomo substituted alkyl-substituted phenols are preferred.

The C and higher high molecular weight alkyl-substituted phenols preferably are derived from the appropriate polypropylenes, polybutenes (polymers of lbutene, 2-butene, isobutylene and mixtures thereof) copolymers of propylene with monomers copolymerizable therewith or copolymers of butenes (butene-l, butene-2 and isobutylene) with monomers copolymerizable therewith wherein the copolymer molecule contains at least 90 percent, i.e. 90 to 100 percent, propylene or butene units. Said monomers copolymerizable with propylene or said butenes need not be hydrocarbon monomers for they can contain polar groups such as chloro, bromo, keto, ethereal, aldehydo and other polar groups. can also containnonaliphatic groups such as from styrene, a-methyl styrene,a, p-dimethyl styrene, divinyl benzene and the like. From the foregoing limitation placed on the propylene and butylene units (90 to 100 percent of those units) the. comonomers copolymerized .with propylene or said butenes, provide from to percent of the units in the copolymer. Said polymers and copolymers of propylene and butenes are thus substantially aliphatic hydrocarbon polymers. The resulting alkylated phenols are C and higher carbon content substantially alkyl hydrocarbon substituted phenols.

Preferred as the high molecular weightalkyl-substituted phenol reactants are those whose alkyl-substituent has a molecular weight in the range of 600 to 3,000 and more preferably in the rang of 800 to 2,500. Of such alkyl-substitutedphenols the polypropyl and polybutyl'phenols, having 100 percent propyl or butyl units in the polypropyl or polybutyl-substituent are preferred.

HN p

grou CONTAINING REACTANTS Representative of this class of reactants are those amine reactants having at least one active hydrogen atom on a nitrogenatom known as useful amine reactants for the preparation of the prior art Mannich products. Such containing reactants can contain only primary amino groups, only secondary amino groups or both primary and secondary amino groups. Monoand di-alkyl amines suitable for use in the preparation of Mannich condensation products are well known. Other typically suitable amine reactants include the diamino alkanes, and such diamino arenes as 0-, mand p-phenylene diamine and diaminonaphthalenes and di(ar'nino alkyl) substituted nitrogen-heterocyclic amines as the N,N- di(amino methyl), di(amino ethyl) and di(amino propyl) piperazines. The polyalkylene polyamines of theformula wherein A is a divalent hydrocarbon radical having two to eight carbons and x is an integer from 1 to 10 are quite useful because of the alkalivity provided by the secondary amino radicals in the chain. The divalent radical A is preferably an ethylene or propylene radical although it can desirably be a phenylene radical. Other useful representative amine reactants are disclosed in prior art relating to prior Mannich product preparation from C to C alkyl-sbustitued phenols and reference can be made to prior art disclosures for additional amine reactants having at least one HN radical.

Suitable alkylene polyamine reactants include ethylendiamine, diethylene triamine, triethylene tetramine, tetraethylene pentamine, pentaethylene hexamine, hexaethylene hepta-amine, heptaethylene octamine, octaethylene nonamine, nonaethylene decamine and decaethylene undecamine and mixtures of such amines having nitrogen contents corresponding to the alkylene polyamines, in the formula H N-(A- NH-) H, mentioned before, A is divalent ethylene and x is 3 to 10 of the foregoing formula. Corresponding propylene polyamines such as propylene diamine and di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-propylene tri-, tetra-, penta propylene tri-, tetra-, and hexa-, heptaand octaamines are also suitable reactants. The alkylene polyamines are usually obtained by the reaction of ammonia and dihalo alkanes, such as dichloro alkanes. Thus the alkylene polyamines obtained from the reaction of 2 to l 1 moles of ammonia with l to 10 moles of dichloro alkanes having two to eight carbon atoms and the chlorines on different carbons.

Also suitable polyamine type reactants are condensation products of urea or thiourea and the alkylene polyamines wherein for each x moles of urea or thiourea 2x moles of alkylene polyamine are used. Such a condensation product can have the formula:

wherein x is 1-10 and A are as above defined and 2 in oxygen or sulfur.

ALDEHYDE REACTANTS Representative aldehyde reactants include the aldehyde reactants disclosed in the prior art concerned with the preparation of Mannich condensation products from C to C alkyl-substituted phenols. For specific classes of such aldehydes and specific members of those classes reference can be made to such prior art disclosures. For the purposes of this invention the aldehyde preferred is formaldehyde and formaldehyde affording compounds such as formalin, paraformaldehyde and trioxymethylene.

The present invention is not predicated on the fact that the C and above alkyl substituents in the boroncontaining derivatives of the Mannich condensation products make them more oil-soluble than the C to C type-prior art Mannich condensation products. But rather invention is predicated on the fact that those higher molecular weight, C4 to C alkyl substituents make the high molecular weight boron-containing derivatives of the Mannich condensation products superior dispersant-detergent addition agents.

Since the products of this invention are ultimately for use in preparing lubricant oil formulations, it is advantageous to use light mineral oil, e.g. from white mineral oils to solvent extracted SAE 10 grade oils, as the reaction solvent. The high molecular weight Mannich condensation products of this invention are then obtained as solutes in concentrations of 40 to 70 weight percent in said mineral oil solvents. This is readily accomplished by using oil solutions of the C and higher carbon content alkyl-substituted phenol reactant dissolved in light mineral oil of from white mineral oil to SAE l grade oil. The examples which follow illustrate the preparation of products of this invention.

As mentioned before the Mannich condensation products obtained from the two step condensation are products that are likely mixtures of tail-to-tail, tail-tohead coupling. The following formulas are illustrative of such couplings in simple single but predominant products of the Mannich condensation:

Formula (I): TaiLto-Tail Formula (II): Tail-to-Head Formula (III): Tail-t0-Tail HZH H H H E Formula, (IV) Tail-to-Head OH OH wherein A is a saturated divalent alkyl hydrocarbon group of two to eight carbon atoms, x is 1 to 10, Z is oxygen or sulfur and R is an alkyl hydrocarbon group of from 40 to 20,000 carbon atoms. The inventive boroncontaining derivatives of compounds of Formulas I, II, III and IV are believed to have the respective moieties from boric acid, boron oxide, boron halides and esters of boron acids as a stable complex with the amino nitrogens (sometimes referred to as boroncoordinate complexes). These boron-containing derivatives are more properly boron compound interaction products for the reasons hereinafter appearing.

It is known that boron halides such as boron trifluoride, boron triiodide and boron trichloride can form a interaction product with phenolic hydroxy groups, i.e. hydroxy group substituents on a benzene ring. It has also been demonstrated that boron oxide, boron oxide hydrate, boron trifluoride, boron triiodide, boron tribromide, boron trichloride, boric acid, boronic acids (such as alkyl-B-(OH) and aryl-B- (OI-D tetraboric acid, metaboric acid and esters of boric acids form interaction products with other polar groups such as the primary andsecondary amino radical as well as phenolic hydroxy groups. Ethers, or-

.ganic acids, inorganic acids or hydrocarbons complexed with boron halides can be used as convenient means for introducing the boron compound as a reactant into the oil solutions of the high molecular weight Mannich products to prepare the boron-containing products of this invention. More specifically in place of the aqueous solution of boric acid, dimethyl formamide (DMF) solution of boric acid and oil slurry of boric acid used in the examples hereinbefore set forth, there can be used boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex, boron trifluoride-phosphoric acid complex, boron trichloride-choroacetic acid complex, boron tribromide-dioxane complex, boron trifluoride-methyl ethyl ether complex. I

The boron reactant when introduced as a boronic acid can be methylboronic acid, phenylboronic acid, cyclohexylboronic acid, p-octyl-phenylboronic acid,

decylboronic acid and the like. The boron reactant when introduced as an ester of boric acid can be monodiand tri-esters derived by a means well known to the chemist by reacting one mole boric acid or tetraboric acid with such hydroxy compounds as alkanols, alkylene diols, cycloalkanols and the like. These esters of boric acids can be used to replace boric acid reactant illustrated in the examples hereinbefore set forth.

Since the boron reactant can form an interaction product with any or all of the polar groups, the phenol- IL MQPBLlh999913y ami and Primary amino groups present in compounds having structural formulas I, II, III and IV hereinbefore set forth, it is not known with certainty which of the polar groups are involved in the formation of the interaction product but it is believed that it is the amino groups with which boric acid forms the stable interaction product. It is not essential for the purposes of this invention for the boron compound reactant to form an interaction product with one or more particular polar group present as long as a stable boron compound interaction product forms. By stable boron compound interaction product is meant one that can be heated at least to 300-350 F. and filtered at 300-350 F. without substantially completely removing boron from the solute in the filtrate. It is desirable to have B/N ratios (weight ratio of boron to nitrogen) in the range of 0.01 to 1.0 and preferably in the range of from 0.05 to 0.5, present in the solute inventive boron-containing Mannich condensation products. Such stable boron interaction products when used in lubricant oil formulations provide better anticorrosion and/or anti-wear protection and dispersancydetergency than boron-containing derivatives of prior Mannich products especially when alkaline earth metal salts of alkylbenzenes sulfonic acids, e.g. calcium or magnesium salts of C to C alkyl-substituted benzene sulfonic acids, are also employed as addition agents.

The following examples will illustrate specific embodiments of this invention.

EXAMPLE 1 There are combined 1,000 grams ofa SAE oil solution having35 percent NAMW 892 polypropyl phenols (alkyl group from polypropylene) by weight-(0.392 mole alkyl phenol) and 0.392 mole tetraethylene pentamine (TEPA). This mixture is stirred and heated to 210 F. and 32 milliliters formaldehyde (0.392 mole) are added slowly permitting the temperature of the reaction mixture to increase to about 240 F. The resulting mixture is heated to 340 F. and nitrogen is in-. jected at 1.0 CFl-l for 90 minutes. The finaltemperature is 320 F. This mixture is stirred and cooled to 180 F. and an additional 32 milliliters formaldehyde are .added increasing the reaction temperature to 200 F.

At this temperature 40.9 grams (0.55 mole) boric acid I (ratio of 0.48 to 1.0N) is added and the resulting mixture is stirred and heated to 330 F., held at this temcontent is 0116 percent, both by weight.

EXAMPLE2 There are combined, stirred and heated to 180 F. 0.482 mole TEPA and 2,500 gramsof 33 percent by weight 1713 NAMW polybutyl phenol in solvent extracted SAE 5W oil to provide 0.482 mole of said polybutyl phenol. Then 0.482 mole CH O is added and the liquid mixture is stirred and heated to 340 F. and held at thattemperature for 105 minutes while injecting nitrogen at 2 CFH. Thereafter the liquid reaction mixture is coo1ed.to'l80 F., an additional 0.482 mole formaldehyde is added and the resulting liquid is stirred and heated to 340 F. while 2 CFl-l nitrogen is injected for 5 hours. The resulting liquid is filtered at 300 F.

The 300 F. filtrate, a clear-bright liquid, is cooled to 250 F. under a,.nitrogen.gas blanket and then 9.5 grams boric acid slurried in 20 grams SAE 5 oil is added. The resulting mixture is held at 250 F. for 60 minutes, isthen heated to 300 F. and held at 300 F.

with nitrogen injection at 2 CFH for 60 minutes. The

oil is filtered through celite at about 300 F. The filtrate is a bright liquid showing no Tyndall effect when light is reflected from the filtrate. By analysis it is found that the filtrate contains 1.08 percent nitrogen and 0.04 percent boron, all by weight.

EXAMPLE 3 There are combined, stirred and heated to F. 334 grams of 33 weight percent 1,900 NAMW (0.058 mole) alkyl phenol in SAE 5W oil and 0.058 mole of a boric acid derivative of TEPA (0.2 BIN). Then 0.058 mole C11 0 is added, the mixture is heated to 200 F. and .an additional 0.058 mole CH,O is added 45 minutes after the first addition. The mixture is stirred and heated to 270F., held at 270F. for 2 hours with 1.5 CFH nitrogen injection. The liquid product is filtered at 270 F.

To 250 grams of filtrate there is slowly added 3.14 grams boric acid dissolved in 10 ml. dimethylformamide. to minimize frothing by DMFboiling. This mixture is heated to 340 F. and 2 CFH nitrogen is injected for 60 minutes. The liquid product is bright and clear.

The first 0.217 mole CH O is added at 120 F nitrogen is injected at 2 CFH for 30 minutes, the mixture is heated to and held at 220 F. for 105 minutes, then cooled to 200 F. at which temperature the second addition of 0.217 mole CH O is made and the reaction temperature is raised to 220 F. and there held for 2 hours. Thereafter. 16 grams boric acid dissolved in 25 grams water is added at 200F. by means of a dropping funnel. Then the reaction temperature is increased to 300 F. and held there for90 minutes with 2 CFH nitrogen injection. The liquid product is filtered. The clear bright filtrate is found, by analysis, to contain 0.16 percent boron and 1.07 percent nitrogen by weight.

At 140 F. the first addition of 0.58 mole formaldehyde is made and the mixture is stirred and heated to 200 F. while injecting nitrogen at 1.0 CFH for 30 minutes and then the second 0.58 mole formaldehyde addition is made at 200 F. with no nitrogen injection. This mixture is heated to 260 F. with nitrogen injection and stirred for 3 hours at 260 F. Thereafter a slurry of 63 grams boric acid in 50 grams SAE 5W oil is added with no nitrogen injection but while stirring the resulting mixture under a nitrogen blanket atmosphere. The oil solution-boric acid slurry is stirred and heated to 300 F. and held at 290 to 300 F. for 60 minutes while injecting nitrogen at 1.0 CFl-l.

The filtrate is found by analysis to contain 0.16 percent boron and 1.12 percent nitrogen (B/N weight ratio of 0.14) and has a 210 F. viscosity of 1,700 SSU.

EXAMPLE 10 i The process of Example 9 is repeated using 2,990 grams of 37.2 percent by weight 1,900 NAMW polybutyl phenol (0.58 mole), 0.58 mole TEPA, two additions of 0.58 mole each of formaldehyde, and 43 grams boric acid slurried in 50 grams SAE 5W oil. The filtrate has a 210F. viscosity of 1,766 SSU and is found by analysis to contain 0.08 percent boron and 1 percent nitrogen with weight ratio of B/N of 0.08.

EXAMPLE 1 1 The process of Example 10 is repeated using 2,255 gallons of 46 percent by weight 1,750 NAMW pol ybutyl phenol (4.32 pound moles), 376 gallons SAE 5W oil, 98 gallons (4.42 pound moles) TEPA, two additions of 350 pounds formalin (37 percent CH O) to provide 4.32 pound moles formaldehyde at eachaddition, 200 pounds boric acid slurried in 100 gallons SAE 5W oil at 250 F., and 50 gallons SAE 5W oil at 250 F. to wash boric acid slurry transler line into the reactor. The filtrate obtained from such a process typically has a 210 F. viscosity in the range of 800 to 900 SSU and contains about 40 weight percent borated reaction product dissolved in SAE 5W oil (40 percent product- 60 percent oil by weight), 1.18 to 1.22 percent nitrogen by weight, 0.09 to 0.11 percent boron by weight and a B/N ratio of 0.075 to 0.085.

An amount of the product of Example 2 containing 0.56 grams of the disubstituted amine shown is added to a measured volume of crankcase lubricant oil form ulation which had been used in a Lincoln Sequence V Engine Test for 384 hours (twice the time of the standard test time). This composition is heated and stirred at 300 F. for 16 hours and an aliquot of it is transferred to blotting paper. A control is made at the same time by stirring and heating at 300 F. for 16 hours an equal volume of used oil from the 394 hour Lincoln Sequence V Engine Test and depositing an aliquot on blotting paper. The deposits on the blotting paper are measured to obtain the average diameter of the outer oil ring (Do) and the average diameter of the inner sludge ring (Ds). The ratio of Ds/Do is an indication of the detergent-dispersant property of the addition agent. These ratios and the sludge settling tests are shown in TABLE 1.

The same test'procedure conducted with boron-containing Mannich condensation products of C to C alkyl-substituted phenol, typical of prior art products made for example from the respective molar ratio of 2 moles nonylphenolzl mole TEPA and 2 moles'formaldehyde, do not have sufficient dispersancy nature and hence show littleor no improvement over the control.

EXAMPLE 12 A high molecular weight Mannich condensation product is prepared by the one step process using high molecular weight polybutyl substituted (polybutyl group has anaverage of 60 carbons) phenol (916.

NAMW) dissolved in SAE 5W oil, 0.9 mole tetraethylene pentamine and 1.8 mole formaldehyde for a respective molar ratio of reactants of 1:0.5:1. The dry product contains 82 percent high molecular weight Mannich condensation product (2,000 NAMW) in the solvent oil.

This product is borated in the following manner. For each 250 grams of product (82 percent of 2000 NAMW Mannich condensation product) there is added 250 grams of SAE 5W oil and 19 grams boric acid. The mixture is stirred, heated slowly to and held at 300 F. for 7 hours while injecting nitrogen to remove by-product water. The dried product is filtered to remove unreacted boric acid using Celite filter-aid; The filtrate is a clear solution containing 0.23 percent' boron.

EXAMPLE 13 There are combined, stirred and heated to 160 F., 2,000 grams" of SAE 5 oil solution of (45.9 percent) polybutyl-substituted phenol of 1600 NAMW to provide 0.716 mole of that substituted phenol, 94 grams (0.495 mole) tetraethylene pentamine and 420 grams of SAE 5W oil. Then one drop of liquid silicon antifoam agent and 100 milliliters of formalin (37 percent CH O) to provide 1.318 moles formaldehyde are added at one time to the hot stirred mixture. After the temperature'increase from the reaction of the added formaldehyde has occurred, the temperature of the stirred solution of reaction product is increased to 300 F. and nitrogen is injected into stirred and heated solution. Nitrogen injection and stirring is continued while the solution is held ata temperature of about 310 F. F.) for two hours to drive off by-product watenThen' the solution is filtered. The hot filtrate is bright, i.e., has a good clarity. The, solution contains about 42 percent by weight of high molecular weight Mannich condensation product, a nitrogen content of 1.02 percent and a viscosity of 1013 SSU at 210 F. The reactants polybu; tyl-substituted phenol, amine and formaldehyde are used in the respective molar ratio of 1:069: l .835.

The product of the foregoing example, oil solution having 1.07 percent nitrogen and of the high molecular weight Mannich condensation product as solute in the 42 percent concentration, is borated with boric acid to a boron content of 0.1 percent. This boric acid borated derivative is used in a crankcase lubricant oil formulation at a 4.5 volume percent concentration (about 2 weight percent of condensation product) with either 2.0 volume percent of 300 total basenumber (TBN) calcium sulfonate or 1.0- volume percent 300 TBN magnesium sulfonate and 1.0 volume percent of the solution of zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate anti-wear and anti-corrosion agent (hereafter more specifically defined). Both crankcase lubricant oil formulations (one with 300 TBN Ca-sulfonate and the other with 300 TBN Mg-sulfonate) when used in the Ford-289 cubic inch displacement Engine Test hereafter described, result in Total Sludge values in the range of 41 to 48 and Total Varnish values in the range of 41 to 43. Similar crankcase lubricant oil formulations, the only exception being the use of 3 volume percent of boric acid borated product of the foregoing example having 0.3 percent boron product equivalent high detergency-dispersancy results in the Ford-289 Engine Test (Sludge values of 41 to 48 and Varnish Values of 40 to 43) and provide in the CLR-L38 Engine Test. (hereafter described) designed to evaluate high temperature oxidation stability of crankcase lubricant oils, varnish and bearing loss values in the passing range for premium oils. Spot Dispersancy Test (hereafter described) using 3.1 volume percent of the oil solution having 0.3 percent boron produced a value of 88.5.

ENGINE TESTS The effectiveness of the substituted amine products of this invention as detergent-dispersant addition agent for lubricant oil compositions can be demonstrated by their use in such compositions as crankcase lubricants in actual engine tests such as the LincolnSequence V Engine Test, the Ford 289 Engine Test and the L-38 Engine Test aforementioned.

It will be noted that the hydroxyalkyl benzyl sub stituted amine products of this invention used in said tests unlike hydroxyalkyl benzyl substituted amines of the prior art are not used as their calcium, barium, magnesium or other alkaline earth metal or alkali metal salts.

The compounds of this invention can function as detergent-dispersant addition agents in lubricant oil compositions in the weight percent range suitably of from 0.1 to 10 percent, desirably in the range of 0.2 to 8.0 percent and preferably in the range of 0.5 to 5 percent. However, lubricant oil solutions having 10 to 50 percent or more by weight of the novel hydroxyalkyl benzyl substituted polyalkylene amines of this invention including the bis(polyalkylene amine) carbamides and thiocarbamides are useful in the preparation of finished lubricant oil compositions because they can be readily and conveniently combined withconcentrates of other lubricant oil addition agents suchas oil solutions of the alkaline earth metal sulfonates, e.g. normal and high based calcium and magnesium salts of petroleum sulfonic acids such as sour oil, mahagony acid and alkyl substituted benzene sulfonic acids having alkyl hydrocarbon groups of a carbon content of greater than 16 and more specifically of 30 to 20,000 carbon atom alkyl hydrocarbon group size, oil solutions of zinc dialkyl-dithiophosphates and other concentrate solutions of lubricant addition agents all of which are used for their anti-wear, anti-corrosion, anti-foam, oxidation inhibition, oiliness, viscosity-index improving properties. For example, the oil solution concentrates having 10 to 50 percent by weight of the novel substituted amine products of this invention can be easily blend mixed with base oils and oil solution concentrates of the aforementioned addition agents having anti-wear, anti-corrosion, viscosity-index improving, anti-foam, etc. properties in transfer line blending, i.e. each concentrate and base oil are charged to a transfer line from sources of supply of each concentrate in therequired proportions so that there flows from the transfer line a completely finished, fully formulated lubricant oil com-' position ready for packaging in quart, gallon, quart, 30 gallon or 55 gallon containers or tank car and/or truck for delivery to the ultimate consumer. Such finished and fully formulated lubricant oil compositions are useful as crankcase lubricants for automobile, truck and railway gasoline and/or diesel engines.

The aforementioned Lincoln Sequence V Engine Test, Ford 289 Engine Test and L-38 Engine Test are conducted in the following manner.

LINCOLN SEQUENCE V ENGINE TEST Briefly, this test designed to evaluate dispersancy characteristics of formulated lubricant oils consists of using the oil to be tested as a lubricating oil in a V-8 Lincoln Engine under prescribed test conditions. Accordingly, five quarts of oil are placed in the crankcase and the engine is started and run in accordance with the four-hour cycle:

The four-hour cycle is reset a total of 48 times (192 hours running time). After each 16 hours of operation the engine is shut down for 8 hours. Two-ounce samples of oil are taken every 30 hours and the oil level is adjusted with fresh oil to a level of five quarts. Added oil is weighed. At the time of the test, the hot oil is drained, weighed and recorded. The engine is then disassembled and the test for deposits of varnish and sludge among other observable results as set out in the table below. Engine components are examined visually and rated on a scale of l to l0, being a perfect reading indicating no sludge or varnish. A rating of 50 for total sludge and for total varnish is considered perfect; a rating of 60 percent or lower is considered passing for screen clogging; and a rating of 50 percent or lower is considered passing for ring plugging.

FORD289 ENGINE TEST The Ford 289 cubic inch displacement engine test, hereinafter designated as I -289 Test, is conducted in the same manner as the Lincoln Test Sequence V except for the apparent difference in test engines. This F-289 Test is more severe with respect to both sludge and varnish formulation and deposition. Also the F-289 Test is conducted with vapors from the crankcase being introduced into the engine fuel intake system by means of a positive crankcase ventilation system which, in part, results in the more severe sludge and varnish formation during test operation.

L-38 ENGINE TEST The L-38 Engine Test" is also known as CLR L-38 Engine Test and is designed to evaluate high temperature oxidation stability of the formulated lubri cant oil and such evaluation is based on piston varnish deposit and copper-lead bearing corrosion. In this test a single cylinder water cooled Labeco oil test engine is operated at 3150 rpm for 40 hours with the test oil formulation. The oil is maintained at 300 F. and cooling water is maintained at F. Copper-lead connecting rod bearings are weighed before and after the 40 hour test. Bearing weight loss (BWL) of 50 milligrams or less is desired. After the 40 hour test the piston is visually evaluated and a varnish value is assigned by comparison to varnish deposit pictorial standards having assigned values of l to 10 for the color and extent of varnish deposit. In this varnish value scale of l to 10, the value 10 represents a clean and varnish free piston and the value 1 represents a substantially complete dark varnish coated piston. To qualify as a premium oil additive the varnish value should be 9.0 and above.

The following lubricant formulations in which all of the addition agent indicated are by volume, are prepared for use in the foregoing engine tests. Products of this invention are identified by reference to the appropriate example of preparation and the volume percent solution produced. The weight percent of the solute product or dissolved is that of the active ingredient, i.e., the dissolved substituted amine product, is shown under weight Where used Ca300 and Mg-300 designate the respective sulfonates dissolved as concentrates in SAE 5W oil with a total base number of 300 for the solution and other higher or lower numbers designate higher or lower solution total base numbers. The designation ZOP is used to' identify a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate anti-wear anticorrosion addition agent whose alkyl groups are derived from the conjoint reaction of three different alcohols, two of which are primary alcohols such as C and C oxo-derived alcohols and the third is a secondary alcohol such as isopropyl or sec-butyl alcohols, with phosphorus pentasulfide and the total moles of the three alcohols is the stoichiometric amount required to obtain dialkyl dithiophosphoric acid for reaction with zinc or zinc oxide. Thus the Z0? is a statistical mixture of the zinc salts having the three aforementioned alcohol derived alkyl groups. Since the relative proportions of C iso, C primary and C primary alcohols can be varied considerably to provide an oil-soluble zinc salt, their precise proportions need not be indicated. A ZOP product typical of that used is a concentrate zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate in SAE 5W oil having the following typical properties: Solution has 210 F. viscosity of 67 SSU, 5% Zn, 8% P and 16% S, all by weight.
