Abstract: Nitrogen-containing phosphorus-free carboxylic acid derivatives made by reaction of an acylating agent with an alkanol tertiary monoamine are described. Typically the carboxylic acylating agent is an alkyl or alkenyl succinic anhydride containing about 20 to about 500 carbon atoms in the alkyl or alkenyl group. A typical amine is diethyl ethanol amine. These derivatives are useful in incorporating oil-soluble, water-insoluble functional additives, such as metal salts of acid phosphate and thiophosphate hydrocarbyl esters, into water-based functional fluids such as water-based hydraulic fluids.

Abstract: Combinations of certain hydroxy amines, particularly the "Ethomeens," and hydrocarbon-soluble carboxylic dispersants are useful as engine and carburetor detergents for normally liquid fuels. The preferred compositions are those in which the carboxylic dispersants are the reaction products of substituted succinic acids with polar compounds, especially with amines such as ethylene polyamines.

Abstract: Certain polyamines are useful carburetor dispersants for liquid fuel compositions. Among the suitable polyamines are diamines which may be prepared by the Mannich reaction of certain primary or secondary amines with an aldehyde such as formaldehyde and an aliphatic nitro compound such as 2-nitropropane, followed by reduction of the nitro group.

Abstract: Condensation products made by reacting an .alpha.-hydroxyalkyl hydroxy-aromatic compound also having at least one non-fused hydrocarbyl substituent with at least one olefinic nitrile, carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid derivative are useful as additives for fuels and lubricants. The total number of carbon atoms in the non-fused hydrocarbyl substituents is at least about 7 while the .alpha.hydroxyalkyl group contains from 1 to about 36 carbons and the olefinic acid or nitrile reactant usually contains 2 to about 40 carbon atoms. Products made from hydroxymethyl alkyl-substituted phenols and .alpha.,.beta.-olefinic acid derivatives such as maleic anhydride and particularly useful. Similarly useful post-treated products can be made from these condensation products by further reaction with alcohols, amines, metal salts or metals.

Abstract: Sulfurized compositions are prepared by the reaction, under superatmospheric pressure, of olefinic compounds with a mixture of sulfur and hydrogen sulfide in the presence of an acidic, basic or neutral catalyst, followed by removal of low boiling materials including unreacted olefin, mercaptan and monosulfide. An optional final step is removal of active sulfur; for example, by treatment with an alkali metal sulfide. The resulting sulfurized compositions are useful as lubricant additives.
