Abstract: Aminophenols and analogous aromatic compounds, especially those containing a hydrocarbon-based substituent preferably having about 10 to about 750 aliphatic carbon atoms, react with 3- or 4-membered ring heterocyclic compounds, preferably epoxides, to form compositions useful as dispersants and detergents in lubricants and fuels.

Abstract: A process for alkylating a polyamine by contacting, in a liquid media, a polyamine, an olefinic compound, carbon monoxide, and a hydrogen source in the presence of a catalytic amount of a rhodium atom containing compound selected from metallic rhodium, rhodium salts, rhodium oxides, rhodium carbonyls and ligands thereof at a temperature of from about 50.degree. C. to 250.degree. C. and at a pressure of from about 30 to about 300 atmospheres.

Abstract: A process for forming amines by contacting, in a liquid media, an olefinic compound, carbon monoxide, water, and ammonia in the presence of a rhodium atom containing compound selected from metallic rhodium, rhodium salts, rhodium oxides, and rhodium carbonyls and ligands thereof at a temperature of from 50.degree. to 250.degree. C. and at a pressure of from about 10 to about 300 atmospheres.
