Abstract: Substituted aromatic amines or mixtures thereof containing a discoloration inhibiting amount of a substituted phenol having the structure: ##STR1## or mixtures of such substituted phenols wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently selected alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, or alkaryl and p is 0 to 4.A method and composition are provided for inhibiting discoloration of alkylated aromatic amines and diamines. A minor portion of the substituted phenol is combined with a fresh, water white substituted aromatic amine of structure ##STR2## or mixtures thereof wherein m is 1 or 2, n is 1 to 5, m+n is not greater than 6, and the R are independently selected alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl or alkaryl, said amine being subject to gradual discoloration, and a minor amount by weight of a substituted phenol or mixture of substituted phenols to inhibit color degradation.

Abstract: Dinitro alkyl phenols are produced free of tar when the precursor orthoalkylphenol is contacted with a molecular sieve prior to sulfonation, nitration, and air drying. The dinitro alkylphenols produced are free of tars or similar resins and avoid processing problems that are shown in impure prior art products.

Abstract: Liquid fuels having anti-corrosion properties for use in internal combustion engines comprising (i) a major fraction of a monohydroxy alkanol having from 1 to about 5 carbon atoms, and (ii) a corrosion inhibiting amount of a mixture of (a) from about 5 to 95 parts of an alkyl or alkenyl succinic acid and an ester formed from that acid, or from a related alkyl or alkenyl succinic acid, and a glycol of 2 to 4 carbon atoms wherein the alkyl or alkenyl groups in the acid and in the ester each contain about 8 to 30 carbon atoms, and (b) from about 95 to 5 parts of at least one polymerized unsaturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid having about 16 to 18 carbon atoms per molecule.

Abstract: Liquid fuels for use in internal combustion engines comprising (i) a major fraction of hydrocarbons boiling in the gasoline boiling range, (ii) a minor amount of ethanol, and (iii) a corrosion inhibiting amount of a hydrocarbyl succinic acid or anhydride having from about 8 to 30 carbon atoms.
