  • Patent number: 5069684
    Abstract: The present invention discloses superior fuel and lubricant additives prepared by the acylation of alkyl or alkenyl succinimides with the polyether half-esters of dicarboxylic acids. The polyether half-esters of dicarboxylic acids are grafted onto the polyamine moiety of alkyl or alkenyl succinimides by reacting the succinimide and the half-ester of the dicarboxylic acid under amidation conditions to form an amide group with an amino group of the polyamine. The process is carried out by first reacting a monofunctional polyalkylene ether with a dicarboxylic acid to produce a half-ester of the dicarboxylic acid. This product is then reacted with an alkyl or alkenyl succinimide polyamine ashless dispersant to product a multifunctional hydrocarbon fuel or lubricant additive that exhibits augmented dispersant properties.

  • Patent number: 5026933
    Abstract: A process for producing substantially linear hydrocarbons by oligomerizing a lower olefin at elevated temperature and pressure which comprises contacting the lower olefin under oligomerization/polymerization conditions with siliceous acidic ZSM-23 zeolite having Bronsted acid activity; wherein the zeolite has acidic pore activity and wherein the zeolite surface is rendered substantially inactive for acidic reactions. The zeolite surface can be neutralized by a bulky pyridine compound having an effective cross-section larger than the zeolite pore. The preferred deactivating agent is 2,4,6-collidine, which may be applied to the zeolite as a pretreatment or added with olefin feed in a continuous process. The olefin oligomers may be used as alkylating agents to prepare biodegradable alkylbenzenes and alkylphenylsulfonates. A preferred catalyst for this alkylation reaction is dealuminized mordenite.

  • Patent number: 4994197
    Abstract: Triazole compounds are grafted onto alkyl or alkenyl succinimides by using diisocyanates to effect the coupling. The process is carried out by first reacting a 1,2,3 -triazole with a diisocyanate to produce a triazole substituted urea addition product containing a single unreacted isocyanato group. This intermediate reaction product is then reacted with an alkyl or alkenyl succinimide ashless dispersant prepared from an alkyl or alkenyl succinic acid or anhydride and a polyamine by known methods. The novel composition so produced comprises a multifunctional hydrocarbon fuel or lubricant additive.
