l During the past decade, ashless sludge dispersants
2 have become increasingly lmportant, primarily in improving
3 the performance of lubricants and gasoline in keeping the
4 engine clean of deposits and permitting extended crankcase ~ .
oil drain periods Most commercial ashless dispersants fall .
6 into several general categorles. Xn one category, an amine
7 or polyamine is attached to a long chain hydrocarbon
8 polymer, usually polyisobutylene, directly by reaction o~
9 halogenated olefin polymer with polyamine as in U.S Patents
3,275,554; 3,565,592; 3,565,B04. In another cate~.ory, a
11 polyamine is linked to the polyisobutylene through an acid
12 .group, such as long chain monocarboxylic acid, e.g, see
13 U~S. Patent 3,444,170 or long chain dicarboxyl~c acid such
14 as polyisobu~enylsuccinic anhydride, by forming amide or
~mide linkages, such as described in U.S Patents 3,172,892;
16 3,219,666; e~c~ More recently,.non-nitrogen ashless di~- .
17 persants have been formed by es~erifying long chain dicar-
18 boxylic acids; such as the polyisobutenylsuccinic anhydride,
19 with polyols, such as pentaerythritol~ as in tJ.S. Patent
3,381,022.
21 Reactlon products of hydrocaxbon substituted suc-
22 cinic anhydrlde, e,g,) ~he afore~aid polyisobutenylsuccinic
23 anhydride, with compounds containing both an amine group
24 and a hydroxy group have been suggested or invèstigated in
~he prlor:art. For ex~mple, U S Pa~ent 3,272,746 teaches
26 ~he reaction of ethanolamine and diethanolamine, as well as
27 various hydroxyalkyl substituted alkylene amine~ 7 such as
28 N~ hydroxyethyl) ethylene diamine, ~N'-bis(2-hydroxy-
29 e~hyl) ethylene diamine, witll allcenyl s~ceinic anhydride

1 amine, such as diethanolamine~ is reacted with a long chain
2 alkenylsuccinic anhydride in U~S. Patent 3,3249033 to orm
3 a mixture of esters and amides, w~erein some of the di~
4 ethanolamine reacts through a hydroxy group to give an ester
linkage, while another portion of the diethanolamine ~orms
6 an amide linkage. U.S. Patent 3J364~001 teaches a ter~iary
7 a1kanolamine reac~ed with an alkenyl succinic anhydride to
8 form an ester useful a~ a gasoline additi~e. U.S. Patent
9 3,448,049 teaches dispersant~, corroslon inhibltors and
antiwear agents in lubricants and fuels by es~erifying al-
11 kenyl succ~nic anhydride with a hydroxy compound made by
12 reacting an alkanolamine with an unsaturated e~ter, amide
13 or nitrile. U.S. P~tent 3,630,904 teaches reacting a
1~ hydroxy amine with both short and long chain dicarboxylic
acid. U.S, Patent 3,484,374 teaches the polymeric conden-
16 sation product of polycarbox~lic acid or anhydride with
17 variou$ alkanolamines ~uch as aminoethy1 ethanola~ine,
18 N-methyldiethanolamine, etc.
19 U.S. Patent 3,576,743 teaches reacting polyiso-
butenylsuccinic anhyd~ide with a polyol, such as pentaery-
21 thritol, followed by reaction with tris-methylolaminomethane
22 (~), (see Example 1). U.S. Patent 3 9 632,511 ~eaches re-
23 ac~i~g polyisobutenylsuccinic anhydride with both a poly~
24 amine and a polyhydric alcohol including THAM. U S~ Patent
3,697,428 (Example 11) teaches reacting polyisobutenyl-
~6 suceinic anhydrlde with a mixture of pentaerythritol and
27 THAM.
28 As noted above9 the prior art teaches dispersants
29 formed from long ehain hydrocarbyl sub~tituted dicarboxylic
acid material, usually alkenyl succinic anhydride, reacted
- 3 -
l wlth ~arious amlno vr hydroxy compounds, elther through a~
2 amide, imide, or ester linkage~ In contrast to the prior
3 art, ,he present invention is based upon the discovery that
4 reactlon of long chaln hydrocarbyl dicarboxyllc acld mater-
5 ial, i.e., acid, or anhydri.de, or e~ter, wl~h certain
: 6 classes of amino alcohols, under certain conditlons, will
7 result in a d~ferent type of linkage, namely an oxazoline
8 linkage, and that materlals with this oxazoline linkage
9 appear very effective as detergents or dispersan~s for
10 oleaginou~ compositions such as lubrica~ing oil and gaso-
11 llne.
12 The long chain hydrocarbyl-sub~tituted dicarboxyl-
13 ic acid ma~erial, i e , aci~ or anhydride, or ester, used
14 in the invention ~e prep~red :~rom alpha-beta unsaturated C~ to
C10 dicarboxylic acids,.ox anhydrides or esters thereof, such a~
16 fumaric acid, itaconic acid, maleic acid, m~leic anhydride,
17 chloromaleic acid9 dimethyl ~umara~e, etc., which are sub-
18 stituted wlth a long hydrocarbon chain~ .generally a olefin
19 polymer cha in .
In general, these hydrocarbyl substituted dicar
21 boxylic acid material~ and their prepara~ion arc well known
~2 in the art~ for example see U.SO Patents 3,219,666; 3~172,892;
23 3,272~746; a~ well as the afGrementioned prlor art patents~
24 m e hydrocarbyl portion should average at least 50 ~ :
aliphatlc carbon ~toms per dicarboxylic acid group and b~
26 sub~tan~lally ~aturated ~sually no more than 10 mole %,
27 and pre~erably 5 mole % or less of the total carbon to car-
28 bon linkage will be unsaturated, as excessive unsaturation
29 in the final product will tend to oxidi~e and unduly form
gU~ ~nd resins in the engine. Further d~er~p~.ion~ an* -

2 forth in U.S. Patent 3,272,746, column 2, line 35 to column
3 4 ~ line 10.
4 Frequently ~chese hydroc~rbyl ~ubstituted dicar~
boxyllc ac~d materials are prepared by reacting the unsat
6 ura~ed d~carboxylic acid material9 usu~lly m~leic anhydride,
7 with an olefin, usually an olein polymer still retaining a
8 terminal unsatura~ion. The olefin pol.ymer can, if desired,
9 be ~irst halogenated~ for example, chlcrinated or brom~nated
10 to about 2 to 5 wt. % chlorine, or about 4 to ~ Wto % bro-
11 mine, based on the we~ght of polymer, and then reacted with
12 the maleic anhydride (see U.S. Patent 3,444,170).
13 In some case~, the ole~in polymer m~y be complete~
14 ly ~a~urated, for example ~n ~thylene-propylene copolymer
made by a Ziegler-Natta s~nthesi~ u~ing hydrogen as a mod-
16 er~tor to co~rol molecular weight. In the case of such
17 ~atura~ed polymers, the polymer can then be halogenated to
18 m~ke ~t reactive ~o i~ can be conden~ed with ~he unsatur-
19 ated d~carboxylic acid materlal which is then randomly added
along th~ polymer chaln,
21 . Preferred olefin polymers for reaction wi~h ~he
22 un~a~urated dicarboxylic ac~ds are polymers comprising a
23 ma~or molar amount af ~2 to Cs monoolefin, e.g., ethyLene,
24 propylene, bu~ylene, isobu~ylene and pentene, The polymers
can be homopolymers ~uch as poly~sobutylen~9 as well a~
26 copolymer~ of two or more of such olef~ns such as co~
27 polymer~ of: e~hylene and propylene; butylene and isobu~yl~
28 ene; propylene and i~obutylene; etc. Other copolymers in~

2 bu~adiene; or a copolyrner of ethyleneg propylene and 1,4a
3 hexad~ ene; etc ~
4 The olefin polymers will u~ lly have number aver-
age molecular weights within the r~nge of about 750 and
6 about 200,000, more usu~lly between sbout 1000 and about
7 20~000. Particularly useful olefin po]Lgloers h~ve number
8 average molecular weights with~n the r~mge of about 900 and

6 The amino alcohol used to make the oxazoline dis-
~ persan~ is a 2,2-disubstitu~ed~2-amino~ alkanol3 having 2
8 to 3 hydroxy groups, containing a total of 4 to 8 carbon
9 a~om~, and which can be represented by ~he formula:
X
11 NH2 ~ C ~ CH20H
12 X
13 w~erein X is an alkyl, or hydroxy alkyl group, with at
14 least one o the X sub~tituents, and pr~ferably bo~h of ~he
X sub~tltuent~, belng a hydroxy alkyl group o the struc-
16 ture -(~12)nOH, wherein n i~ 1 to 3.
17 Examples of such 2,2~disubstitu~ed amino alkanols9
18 include 2-amino-2-meth~1- 1,3~propanediol, 2~amlnoc2- ~y- :
19 droxy-methyl)-1,3-propanediol (also known a$ trie-(hydroxy~
methy~ a~o methane or THAM), 2~amino~2-ethyl-1,3-propane-
21 diol, etc. Because of its effectivene~, availabil~ty, and
22 cost, ~he THAM is particularly preferred.
23 The formation of ~he novel oxazol~ne disper~ants9
24 in a f~irly high yield, can be efected by adding about 1
to 2 mole equlvalen~ of the aforesaid 2,2~disubstituted--2
26 amino~l-alkanol per mole equ~valent of the dicarboxylic
27 ~cid material, with or without an lnert diluent, and heat-

3 be used in the reaction mixture as catalyst to shorten the
4 reaction times. The metal catalyst can later be removed by
filtration or by washing a hydrocarbon solution of the pro-
6 duct with ~ lower alcohol, such as methanol, ethanol, iso~

8 Al~ernatlvely~ the metal ~alt can be lef~ in ~he
9 reaction mix~ure, as 1~ appears to become stably di~per~ed,
10 or dissolved9 in the reaction product, and~ depending on the
11 metal~ it may even contribute performance bene~its to the
12 oil or ga~oline. This is believed to oceur with the use of
13 zinc ca~alysts.
14 Inert solvents which may be u~ed in the above re-
lS action include hydrocarbon ollsl e.g., mineral lubricating
16 o~l, kerosene, neutral mineral oils, xylene, halogenated
17 hydrorarbons, e~g., carbon tetrachloride, dichloroben~ene,
18 tetrahydrofuran, etcO
19 Metal salts that may be used as catalysts in the
20 invention include carboxylic acid salts of Zn, C:o, Mn and
21 Fe~ Metal catalysts derived from strong acids (HCl, ~ul-
22 ~onic acid, H2SO~, HN03, e~c.) and bases tend to dlm~nish
23 the yield of the oxazoline products and in~ead avor lmlde
24 or ester formation. For this rea~on, these strong acid cat-
25 alysts or basic catalys~cs are not pre~erred and usually
26 wlll be Rvoided. The carboxylic ac ids used to prep~re the
27 desired cat~lysts9 include Cl to C18, e.~0 9 ~1 to C~9 acids,
28 such a~ the saturated or unsaturated mono and dicarboxylic
29 al~pha~ic hydrocarbon ~cids, particularly fat~y acids.

2 steara~e, manganese (ous) ace~ate, iron tartrate, cobalt
3 (ous) acetate~ etc, Completlon of the oxazoline reaction
4 can be readily ascerta~ned by using periodic infr~red
spectral analysis for following the oxa~oline formation
6 (oxazoline peak forms at 6.0 micron~), or by the ce~sat~on
7 o~ water evolution.
8 While not Icnown with complete certainty, but based
9 on experlmental evi~ence, it is bel~eved that the reaction
of the hydrocarbyl-substituted dicarboxylic acid materlal,
11 e . g~, a hydrocarbyl substituted succinic anhydride, with the
12 amlno alcohol o the invention9 e.gO, two equivalents of 29
13 2-disubstituted~2-aminoetharlol ~uch as tris-hydroxymethyl~
14 amlno meth~ne (~AM), give~ oxaæoline, e.g " bie-oxaæolines,
via the intermediacy of several discrete reaction species.
16 If an acid anhydride i~ used9 the initial trans~ormation
17 appears to involve the scis~ion of the anhydride by the
18 amino function of one mole of the amino alcohol to yield ~n
19 ~mic acid. Addition of another mole equi~alent of amino al~
cohol is believed to form the ~mic acid amine salt, which
21 then upon fur~her hea~ingj undergo2s cyclo~dehydration to
22 the inal b~s-oxazolin~ prDduct. The catalyst effect of
23 metal salts, such as zinc acetate (Zn~c2~ on ox~$oline

1 A number of the additives of this invention were
2 subjected to a Sludge Inhibition Bench ~SIB) Test which has
3 been found, after a large number of evaluations, to be an
4 excellent test for assessing the dispersing power of lub-
ric~ting oil dispersant additives.
6 The medium chosen for the Sludge Inhibition Bench
7 Test was a used crankcase mineral lubricating oil composi-
8 tion having an original viscosity of about 325 SUS at 100F.
9 that had been used in a taxicab that was driven generally
for short trlps only, thereby causing a buildup of a high
11 concentration of sludge precu~sors. The oil that was used
12 contained only a refined base mineral lubricating oil, a
13 viscosity index improver, a pour point depressant and zinc
14 dialkyldithiophosphate antiwear additLve. The oil contained
no sludge dispersan~. A quantity of such used oil was ac-
16 quired by draining and refilling the taxicab crankcase at
17 100002000 mile interv~ls,
18 The Sludge Inhibition Bench Test is conducted in
19 the following manner. The aforesaid used crankcase oil,
which is milky brown in color, i5 ~reed of sludge by cen-
21 trifuging ~or 1 hour at ~bout 39,000 gravities ~gs.). The
22 resul~ing clear bright red supernatant oil is then decanted
23 from the insoluble sludge particles thereby separated out.
24 However, the supernatant oil still contains oi.l~soluble
sludge precursors which on heating under the condltions em-
26 ploy~d by this test will tend to form additional oil~in~
27 soluble deposits of sludge. The sludge inhibi~ing proper~
28 ties of the additives belng te~ted are determined by adding
2~ to porEions of the supernatan~ used oil, a small amount,
such ~s 0,3 9 OJ 5 9 1 or 2 weigh~ psrcent, on an active in~
~ 18
S~9~
1 gredien~ basis, of ~he par~icular additive being tested.
2 Ten grams of each blend being tested is placed in a stain-
3 less steel centri~uge tube and is heated at ~80F. for 16
4 hours in the presence of air. Following the heating, the
tube containing the oil being tested is cooled and then
6 centrifuged for 30 minutes at about 39,000 gs. Any de-
7 posits of new sludge that form in this step are separated
8 from the oil by decanting the supernatant oil and then
9 carefully washing the sludge deposits with 25 ml. of pentane
to remove all rem~ining oil ~rom the sludge. Then the
11 weight of ~he new solid sludge that has been formed in the
12 test, in milligrams, is ~etermined by drying the residue
13 and weighlng it. The results are reported as milligrams of
14 sludge per 1~ grams of oil, thus measuring dif~erences as
small as 1 part per 10,000. The less new sludge ormed
16 the more effective i9 the addltive as a sludge dispersant.
17 In other words, if the additive is effectlve~ it will hold ~i
lB at least a portion of the new sludge that ~orms on heating
19 and oxidation, stably suspended ln the oil so it does not
precipitate down during the centriuging
21 Using the above described test, the disper~ant ac-
22 tion of oxazoline additives of the presen~ invention was com-
23 pared with the dispersing power of a commerclal dispersant
24 referred to as PIBSA/TEPA. The PIBSA/TEPA was prepared by-
reaction of l mole of tetraethylene pen~amine wlth 2.8 moles
26 o~ polyisobutenylsuccinic anhydride obtained frotn polyiso
27 butylene of about 1000 number average molecular weigllt The
28 PIBSA/TEPA dispersant w~s used in the form of an additi~e

10 tor~. In each carburetor was a metal sleeve wh~ch could
11 be readily removed ~nd weighed to determine the amount of
12 depoisitis that had accumulated on the sleeve The engine was
13 operated for 24 hours under no load through a te~t cycle of
14 8 minute idle at 700 rpm, and then 30 seconds at 2500 rpm,
~ollowed by repeating the cycle. During the ir~t 12 hours

1 zoline product was not directly soluble in gasoline, it wa~
2 first dissolved in xylene, and sufficient xylene solution
3 was then added to the gasoline to incorporate the additlve
4 at a tre~t rate of 10 pounds of oxazol:ine additive per thou-
~and barrels of gasoline, i.e., about 0.024 wt. %. The
6 gasoline so trea~ed was then tested for rust according to
7 ASTM D~665M rus~ test. In brief, this test is carried out
8 by observing the amount of rust that forms on a s~eel
9 spindle after ro~ating for an hour in a water-g~soline mix-
ture. In this case, the oxazoline treated gasoline gave
11 no ru~t ~ndicating that i~ was very effective as an anti-
12 rus~ additive since the untreated ga~oline will g~ve rust
