Abstract: An alkylated hydroxyl-containing aromatic compound is produced by isomerizing a normal alpha-olefin having from about 16 to about 30 carbon atoms in the presence of a first solid, acidic catalyst capable of inducing both olefin isomerization and skeletal isomerization to produce a mixture of isomerized olefin, then alkylating an hydroxyl-containing aromatic compound with the mixture of isomerized olefins in the presence of a second solid, acidic catalyst. The first solid, acidic catalyst can be SM-3, MAPO-11, SAPO-11, SSZ-32, ZSM-23, MAPO-39, SAPO-39, ZSM-22, SSZ-20, ZSM-35, SUZ-4, NU-23, NU-87, natural ferrierite or synthetic ferrierite. The second solid, acidic catalyst can be a sulfonic acid anionic ion exchange resin catalyst or an acidic clay.

Abstract: An alkaline earth alkylaryl sulfonate having a BN of at least 250, wherein the aryl radical is not phenol, wherein the alkyl chain is a linear chain that contains between 14 and 40 carbon atoms, and wherein the mole % of the aryl-sulfonate radical fixed on position 1 or 2 of the linear alkyl chain is between 13% and 30%. Such an alkaline earth alkylaryl sulfonate has improved compatibility, solubility, and foaming performances while having low color and no skin formation. The starting alkylate has a low iodine number, a very high level of monoalkylate, and, as a consequence, a high yield at the sulfonation step.

Abstract: An overbased alkaline earth metal single-aromatic ring hydrocarbyl salicylate-carboxylate is produced by overbasing a mixture of a single-aromatic ring hydrocarbyl salicylate, at least one solvent, a metal hydroxide, and an alkyl polyhydric alcohol alkaline earth metal hydroxide, by contacting that mixture with carbon dioxide under overbasing reaction conditions. The alkyl group of the alkyl polyhydric alcohol has from one to five carbon atoms. The overbased metal single-aromatic ring hydrocarbyl salicylate is treated, before, during, or subsequent to overbasing, with a long-chain carboxylic acid to form a single-aromatic ring hydrocarbyl salicylate-carboxylate.
