Abstract: A lubricating oil soluble compound suitable for use as a dispersant additive is obtainable by reacting at elevated temperature a polyepoxide with a dispersant having at least one reactive nitrogen-containing moiety. Intermediates of the general formula IV ##STR1## where Y' is a group derived from the reaction of the polyepoxide with reactive nitrogen-containing moieties (i.e. primary or secondary amines) are novel.The process for preparing the lubricating oil soluble compounds comprises at least 2 sequential steps.Lubricating oil compositions comprises a major proportion of lubricating oil and a minor proportion of the lubricating oil soluble compounds.

Abstract: A lubricating oil soluble compound suitable for use as a dispersant additive is obtainable by reacting at elevated temperature an epoxyacrylate with a dispersant having at least one reactive nitrogen-containing moiety.Intermediates of the general formula IV ##STR1## where Y' is a group derived from the reaction of the epoxyacrylate with reactive nitrogen-containing moieties (ie primary or secondary amines) are novel.The process for preparing the lubricating oil soluble compounds can be a one step or multistep process.Lubricating oil compositions comprise a major proportion of lubricating oil and a minor proportion of the lubricating oil soluble compounds.

Abstract: Ester derivatives useful as fuels and lubricating oil additives are prepared by the Michael addition of an alkyl acrylate to an amine to produce an intermediate ester, followed by an ester interchange with the intermediate ester to produce the final ester derivatives, some of which are novel compounds.
