Abstract: Provided are compounds of formula wherein R1 is t-octyl, AR is phenyl, R2 is an alkyl substituted carboxyl and m is 0, 1, or 2. Lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids comprising a polyol ester lubricant in combination with one or more compounds of formula I and methods for their use are also provided.

Abstract: Antioxidants for industrial, automotive, and aviation lubricants and methods of making the same are provided. A process using alkylated diphenylamines; alkylated phenyl-?-naphthyl amines; and a metal catalyst to form oxidates is provided. The metal catalyst is a combination of a cation and an organic anion, for example, a metal acetylacetone. The reaction takes place in the presence of oxygen to form an antioxidant comprising oligomers of the alkylated diphenylamine and the alkylated phenyl-?-naphthyl amine, and a metal component of the catalyst.

Abstract: Provided are compounds of formula wherein R1 is linear or branched alkyl; AR is phenyl, naphthyl, or phenanthryl; and m is 0, 1, or 2; and R2 is an alkyl substituted carboxyl. Lubricating oils comprising a polyol ester lubricant in combination with one or more compounds of Formula I are also provided. Compounds having structures of Formula I are formed by mixing N-4-alkylphenyl-1-naphthylamine, paraformaldehyde, glacial acetic acid, and a polyol ester base lubricant and heating and stirring the mixture to cause a condensation reaction. Water and acetic acid are subsequently removed, thereby providing the compound of formula I in the polyol ester base lubricant.

Abstract: Mono- and di-esters of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol and benzoic acids are useful plasticizers for vinyl chloride polymers, and other polymers, particularly for imparting improved stain resistance to plasticized compositions. Novel processes for preparing the esters are disclosed.

Abstract: Triaryl phosphates are prepared in good yields by contacting the corresponding triaryl phosphites with an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst that comprises a halogen component and a cationic cocatalyst at a temperature in the range of 10.degree. C. to 200.degree. C.The catalyst preferably comprises iodine and ferric chloride.

Abstract: A thixotropic agent for organic solvent-based surface-coating compositions is the product of the reaction of a polypentaerythritol component comprising tripentaerythritol with a saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid component comprising acids having 20 to 22 carbon atoms in amounts that provide from 0.40 mole to 0.96 mole of carboxyl groups per mole of hydroxyl groups.

Abstract: Colored polyurethane foams are prepared by the reaction of a polyisocyanate with a component that contains at least two compounds having functional groups containing active hydrogen atoms and that comprises a polyol and a dispersion of a pigment in a low-viscosity, semi-reactive vehicle that comprises a glycol monocarboxylate, such as 1,2-propylene glycol mononeodecanoate.

Abstract: Polyurethanes are made fire-retardant by including in the reaction mixture aromatic polyisocyanates having halogen-containing side chains.
