Abstract: It is disclosed that aromatic compounds can be alkylated with mono-olefinic HVI-PAO dimer in contact with an acidic catalyst to produce novel alkylated aromatic compositions. It has been found that the novel HVI-PAO dimer alkylated aromatic compositions exhibit an extraordinary combination of properties relating to low viscosity with high viscosity index and low pour point which renders them very useful as lubricant basestock. Further, it has been found that the novel alkylaromatic compositions of the present invention show improved oxidative stability. Depending upon the substituent groups on the aromatic nucleus, useful lubricant additives can be prepared for improved antiwear, antioxidant and other properties. HVI-PAO dimer is prepared as a product or by-product from 1-alkene oligomerization using reduced chromium oxide on solid support. Particularly disclosed are the alkylphenols prepared by the process of alkylation a phenol at the aromatic nucleus with the novel oligomer.

Abstract: Drastic molecular weight degradation of a p-(polybutyl-substituted phenol occurs when it is heated above 65.degree. C. in the presence of BF.sub.3 -phenolate catalyst used in the preparation of said substituted phenol by the alkylation of phenol with a butylene polymer of 500 to 3000 molecular weight. Such molecular weight degradation can be substantially suppressed by providing 20 to 30 weight percent dissolved phenol in the mixture resulting from such catalytic alkylation reaction and then rapidly heating the mixture with such amount of dissolved phenol to a temperature of from 182.degree. C. up to 200.degree. C. at extant atmospheric pressure whereat the catalyst dissociates and liberated BF.sub.3 is stripped out by phenol vapors.
