Abstract: New Mannich bases and the alkaline earth metal salts thereof are prepared by condensing formaldehyde and a polyamine with a sulfur-containing phenolic mixture consisting of (1) from 5 to 40% of a sulfurized alkylphenol of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is C.sub.8 -C.sub.36 alkyl, n is an integer from 1 to 8, and y is an integer from 1 to 9, and (2) from 95 to 60% of a phenolic mixture consisting of (a) from 95 to 30% phenol alkylated with a propylene tetramer and (b) from 5 to 70% phenol alkylated with a straight-chain alpha-olefin of from 16 to about 28 carbon atoms or alpha-olefin mixtures wherein the alpha-olefins are of from 16 to about 28 carbon atoms. They are useful as additives for lubricating oils, particularly for use in marine cylinder lubricating oils.

Abstract: New Mannich bases and the alkaline earth metal salts thereof are prepared by condensing formaldehyde and a polyamine with a sulfur-containing phenolic mixture consisting of (1) from 5 to 35 mol percent of a sulfurized alkylphenol of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is C.sub.8 -C.sub.36 alkyl, n is an integer from 1 to 8, and y is an integer from 1 to 9, and (2) from 95 to 65 mol percent of phenol alkylated with a propylene tetramer. They are useful as highly alkaline additives for lubricating oils, particularly for use in marine cylinder, railroad, and automotive diesel lubricating oils.

Abstract: A new Mannich base, prepared by condensing tetrapropenylphenol, formaldehyde and diethylenetriamine wherein the molar ratio of reactants is 1 mol tetrapropenylphenol to 0.5 to 0.85 mols formaldehyde to at least 0.3 mols of diethylenetriamine, and the calcium salt thereof are useful as dispersant additives for lubricating oils, particularly for use in marine cylinder lubricating oils.
