Abstract: Amides of alkyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic carboxylic acids (especially alkyl-substituted salicylic acids) and the like, in which the alkyl substituent contains at least about 10 carbon atoms, are useful as dispersant additives for lubricants and fuels. Particularly useful are salicylamides in which the substituent is derived from propylene, 1-butene or isobutene and has a molecular weight of about 150-1750, and in which the amide moiety is derived from an alkylene polyamine. Such amides are preferably prepared by the reaction of the corresponding nitrogen-containing compound with a vic-hydroxyalkyl ester of the salicylic acid.

Also disclosed are specific details of the method and preferred embodiments, including the fuel composition, per se.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new fertilizer compound of the ureaform type and to a method for the production thereof. The new ureaform compound is characterized by the low average degree of polymerization between urea and formaldehyde. The new compound has a nitrogen content of over 41% by weight and consists of cold water soluble nitrogen as the main fraction and cold water insoluble as the second fraction which is substantially free of hot water insoluble nitrogen. The new ureaform compound is obtained by the condensation of urea and formaldehyde at a correct ratio between the reagents and termination of the reaction at a stage wherein excessive polymerization is prevented. The reaction is carried out in a controlled system with a pH in the range of 3.5 to 4.2. Particularly useful are the systems H.sub.3 PO.sub.4 -KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 and H.sub.3 PO.sub.4 -NH.sub.4 H.sub.2 PO.sub.4.
