Patent number: 6426324Abstract: An antioxidant composition suitable for ester fluid lubricants is the reaction product of diphenylamine and N-aryl naphthylamine in the presence of an organic peroxide. The mole ratio of diphenylamine:N-aryl naphthylamine is about 1:1 to about 10:1. This results in more oligomeric reaction products and significantly less unreacted monomeric residual reactants. The resultant product composition comprises DPA homo-oligomers and DPA-NPA cross oligomers. The diphenylamine and N-aryl naphthylamine are desirably substituted with alkyl groups having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms or styryl groups. The reaction temperature is preferably about 130° to about 150° C. Controlled reaction conditions allow the use of solvents with extractable hydrogen atoms without producing significant amounts of dehydrocondensation between the solvent and the diamines.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2000Date of Patent: July 30, 2002Assignees: Noveon IP Holdings Corp., BP Exploration & Oil, Inc.Inventors: John Ta-Yuan Lai, Deborah S.

Patent number: 5750787Abstract: A process for monoalkylating diphenylamine using a clay catalyst is disclosed which results in a reaction product having substantial amounts of desirable monoalkylated diphenylamine and minimal amounts of less desirable disubstituted diphenylamine and unsubstituted diphenylamine. The disclosed process uses clay catalysts which favor monoalkylation over dialkylation and specific conditions such as reaction temperature, mole ratios of alkylating olefin to diphenylamine, reaction times, and catalyst amounts. Preferred olefins are diisobutylene and linear alpha olefins having from 6 or 8 to 18 carbon atoms. When more than 1 wt. % residual unreacted diphenylamine is present it may be converted to alkylated diphenylamine by reacting with styrene, alpha-methylstyrene or isobutylene.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 1996Date of Patent: May 12, 1998Assignee: B.

Patent number: 5010177Abstract: Disclosed are processes for the preparation of an azonitrile initiator having both a low salt and low water content of the formula ##STR1## This initiator is prepared by reacting a keto acid of the formula ##STR2## with M(CN).sub.x, a hydrazine source, and hydrochloric acid to form ##STR3## The hydrazo intermediate is reacted with chlorine gas in the presence of acetone to oxidize the hydrazo intermediate to the azonitrile initiator. After oxidation, the reaction mixture is permitted to separate into layers. The bottom aqueous layer is removed and discarded. The upper acetone-azonitrile initiator level is treated with solid calcium chloride or a saturated calcium chloride or sodium chloride solution. This salting out procedure generates an additional water layer that further contains (M(Cl).sub.x. The final acetone-azonitrile initiator solution has a low salt and low water content.R.sub.1 is an alkyl group containing from about 1 to about 12 carbon atoms, R.sub.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 1989Date of Patent: April 23, 1991Assignee: The B.
