Lubricating oils synthesis

The octylphenol condensate is used as an additive to lubricating oils and surface-active agents. Other uses of dimer are amination to octylamine and octyldiphenylamine, used in mbber processing hydroformylation to nonyl alcohol for phthalate production and carboxylation via Koch synthesis to yield acids in formulating paint driers (see Drying). 

A further fact must be taken into account, which for obvious reasons did not appear in Haslam s article. As a consequence of our contracts with the Americans, we received from them above and beyond the agreement many very valuable contributions for the synthesis and improvement of motor fuels and lubrication oils, which just now during the war are most useful to us. It need not be especially mentioned that without lead-tetraethyl the present method of warfare would be unthinkable. The fact that since the beginning of the war we could produce lead-tetraethyl is entirely due to the circumstances that, shortly before, the Americans had presented us with the production plans, complete with experimental knowledge. Thus the difficult work of development (one need only recall the poisonous property of lead-tetraethyl, which caused many deaths in the U.S.A.) was spared us, since we could take up the manufacture of this product together with ail the experience that the Americans had gathered over long years.

Because of its potential application to the synthesis of estersfor lubricating oils, the dimerization-carbonylation of butadiene has received special attention. Basic phosphines such as PBun3 and weakly basic tertiary amine solvents (quinoline, N, N-diethylaniline) were found to improve both the stability and activity of the catalyst system.S3° In a further report in which PPr 3 was used as phosphorus ligand it was found that the addition of maleic anhydride caused a marked increase in the catalytic activity. It was believed that through coordination it stabilized the palladium(O) complexes formed against precipitation as metal.s 1... 

There is little reported data on ultrasonic synthesis of metal chelates [738-740]. Interaction between metallic copper or nickel with azomethinic ligands in ethanol, dioxane, or various lubricant oils (10% solution) was studied in Ref. 738. After 4 hr of US irradiation of the reaction mixture, the formed complexes 829 (R = Ph, CH3, H, Cl, N02 M = Ni, Cu) were isolated with yields of 10-25%, in dependence on metal and ligand nature ...

Cyclic derivatives of type III include cyclic Mannich bases, such as dihydroben-zoxazines 497, employed as detergents for lubricating oils, - and cyclic urcides 498, precursors of crosslinking agents for fabrics, as well as other cyclic derivatives prepared by conversion of Mannich bases. Macromolecular derivatives of type IV are relatively small in size and have branched (star-shaped) structures they are of considerable importance as, for example, corrosion inhibitors 499, plastics stabilizers 500, - pre-polymers for epoxy-based electrophoretic paints, and polyols in polyurethane synthesis. ... 

The introduction of iron-zinc catalysts led to the low pressure nthesis of liquid and solid hydrocarbons from CO/Hj in 1925 [19. 20. However, it was found that these catalysts were deactivated rapidly and thus further investigations concentrated on nickel and cobalt catalysts. They led to the introduction of a standardized cobalt-based catalyst for llic normal-pressure synthesis of mainly saturated hydrocarbons at temperatures below 200 C. In 1936, the first four commercial plants went on stream. Until 1945 the Fischer-Tropscit synthesis was carried out in nine plants in Germany, one plant in France, four plants in Japan and one plant in Manchuria. The total capacity amounted to approximately one million tons of hydrocarbons per year in 1943. The catalysts used consisted of Co (1(X) parts), ThO (5 parts). MgO (8 parts), and kieselgur (200 parts) and were prepared by precipitation of the nitrates. These catalysts were used in fixed-bed reactors at normal or medium pressures (< 10 bar) and produced mainly saturated straightproduct obtained consisted of 46% gasoline. 23% diesel oil, 3% lubricating oil and 28% waxes (3.15). 

Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology converts synthesis gas produced by reforming of methane or coal gasification into waxy products. Long alkanes (-CH2 -chains) produced by using FT synthesis are chemically similar to polyethylene. Lubricating oils derived from isomerization of FT waxes are gaining interest due to increased demand for lubricants with the advanced performance and environmental benefits described earlier. 

Nitroalkanes have also opened some new fields in organic synthesis. The problems were tackled in a number of monographs and review articles [13 19) however, most of them are outside the scope of the present book. Such is also the monograph by Krein and Shekliter [2331 describing the nitration of lubricating oils to produce anti-corrosion materials.
