Succinic acid semi-amides as anti-corrosive agents
The present invention relates to compositions comprising succinic acid semi-
amides and to
the use of those compositions in improving the use properties of lubricants,
such as hydraulic
or metal-working fluids, greases, gear oils or engine oils.
Additives that have to fulfil demanding tasks, such as a high load-bearing
capacity, protection
against wear and corrosion, and antioxidant action, are added to lubricants.
In addition, the
properties of lubricants should not be modified disadvantageously in the
presence of con-
taminants. Often, in mineral oil industry enterprises, oils are admixed with
commercially avai-
lable additive concentrates or "packages". Contamination with water, calcium
detergents and
residues of other lubricants may occur during the mixing process. As a result,
the action of
the additive components with respect to corrosion is reduced, for example
owing to formation
of hydrolysis products and precipitation of poorly soluble calcium residues,
the latter being
especially disadvantageous because they block filter systems.
The present invention relates to the problem of producing lubricant
compositions that provide
improved protection against corrosion, combined with good compatibility with
calcium ions.
U.S. Patent Specification 4 462 918 discloses lubricant compositions providing
protection
against wear and corrosion, which comprise a component of the N-acyl-N-
alkylaminosuccinic
acid ester type (aspartic acid esters, aspartates).
U. S. Patent Specification 5 275 749 discloses lubricant compositions
providing protection
against wear and corrosion, which comprise a component of the N-acyl-N-
alkoxyalkylamino-
succinic acid ester type.
It has now been found, surprisingly, that succinic acid semi-amides, which are
obtainable by
reacting succinic acid anhydride with ~3-amino acid derivatives, improve the
corrosion protec-
tion in lubricant compositions whilst at the same time the formation of
precipitation products
and residues is reduced.
The invention relates to compositions comprising
a) At least one compound of formula

dienylene, e.g. 1,3-butadienylene and, together with -N<, form a heterocycle
which may, in
turn, contain further hetero atoms, e.g. N or O. In that case, the partial

sponds to a heterocyclylcarbonyl substituent, e.g. piperidinocarbonyl,
piperazinylcarbonyl or

salt-forming cation
suitable for lubricant compositions", is understood to mean those cations of
salt-formers that
together with the carboxylate group form suitable, non-metallic salts, e.g.

tetramethylammonium, tet-
raethylammonium or 2-hydroxyethyltrimethylammonium.
The compounds (I) are readily soluble in oils and can be admixed with a base
oil of lubricat-
ing viscosity, e.g. a lubricant, in a manner known per se.
Component b) Base oil
The definition "base oil of lubricating viscosity" includes, for example,
lubricants that can be
used for hydraulic or metal-working fluids, greases, gear oils or engine oils.
Suitable lubricants are based, for example, on mineral or synthetic oils or
mixtures thereof.
The person skilled in the art will be familiar with the lubricants, which are
described in the
relevant technical literature, for example in Chemistry and Technology of
Lubricants; Mortier,

The lubricants are especially oils and greases, for example based on mineral
oil or vegetable
and animal oils, greases, tallow and wax or mixtures thereof. Vegetable and
animal oils,
greases, tallow and wax are, for example, palm-kernel oil, palm oil, olive
oil, rapeseed oil,
rape oil, linseed oil, soybean oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil, coconut
oil, maize oil, castor
oil, tree nut oil and mixtures thereof, fish oils, and their chemically
modified forms, for exam-
ple epoxidised and sulphoxidised forms, or forms produced by genetic
engineering, for
example soybean oil produced by genetic engineering.
Examples of synthetic lubricants include lubricants based on aliphatic or
aromatic carboxylic
acid esters, polymeric esters, polyalkylene oxides, phosphoric acid esters,
poly-c~olefins or
silicones, diesters of a divalent acid with a monohydric alc~hol, such as, for
example, dioctyl
sebacate or dinonyl adipate, triesters of trimethylolpropane with a monovalent
acid or with a
mixture of such acids, such as, for example, trimethylolpropane
tripelargonate, trimethylol-
propane tricaprylate or mixtures thereof, tetraesters of pentaerythritol with
a monovalent acid
or with a mixture of such acids, such as, for example, pentaerythritol
tetracaprylate, or com-
plex esters of monovalent and divalent acids with polyhydric alcohols, for
example a complex
ester of trimethylolpropane with caprylic and sebacic acid, or a mixture
thereof. Apart from
mineral oils there are especially suitable, for example, poly-a-olefins, ester-
based lubricants,
phosphates, glycols, polyglycols and polyalkylene glycols, and also mixtures
thereof with
water.
An organic or inorganic thickener can also be added to the mentioned
lubricants or mixtures
thereof (base grease). Metal-working fluids and hydraulic fluids can be
prepared on the basis
of the same substances as described hereinabove for the lubricants. Such
fluids are fre-
quently also emulsions of such substances in water or other liquids.
The compositions advantageously contain from 0.005 to 10.0 % by weight,
preferably from
0.01 to 5.0 °l° by weight, especially from 0.01 to 0.9 % by
weight, of compounds (I).
The compositions are used, for example, in hydraulic or metal-working fluids,
greases, gear
oils, or oils for engines of the Otto, diesel, two-stroke, Wankel or orbital
type.
The mentioned lubricants may additionally comprise other additives that are
added in order
to improve their basic properties still further; such additives include:
antioxidants, metal de-
activators, rust inhibitors, viscosity index improvers, pour-point
depressants, dispersants,
detergents, extreme-pressure additives, anti-wear additives and friction
reducers. Such addi-

2.1 26.7 g (0.10 mol) of acrylic acid n-dodecyl ester are added drop wise,
over the course
of 20 min., to 13.3 g (0.100 mol) of 3-n-butoxypropylamine and the reaction
mixture is
stirred at 100° for 2 h; the cooled crude product is dried in vacuo and
37.0 g of a clear,
colourless, low-viscosity oil are obtained.
2.2 4.2 g (0.040 mol) of succinic anhydride are added to 14.9 g (0.040 mol) of
the resulting
intermediate product and the reaction mixture is stirred for 2 h; the cooled
crude prod-
uct is dissolved in 100 ml of hexane, filtered and washed three times with 30
ml of wa-
ter. The hexane solution is concentrated by evaporation in a rotary
evaporator, the re-
maining product is dried in vacuo and 18.0 g (95 % of theory) of a clear

Application Examples
Example 5
Testing of corrosion protection properties (of active ingredient-containing
industrial, circulat-
ing. turbine and hydraulic oils) according to ASTM D 665 (= DIN 51585)
300 ml of formulated oil are mixed with 30 ml of synthetic seawater by
stirring for 24 h at 60°
whilst simultaneously immersing a steel round-section bar.
After being in contact for that period, the steel bar is subjected to a visual
corrosion test.
Each test is carried out in duplicate. The base formulation is based on a
mineral oil of speci-

CA 02496696 2005-02-28
WO 2004/026811 PCT/EP2003/010115
-20-
fication SN VG46, which has been stabilised using antioxidants and metal
deactivators. The
active ingredients under test are used in a concentration of 0.1 mmol/kg
(corresponding to
0.03 - 0.06 % by weight or 300 - 600 ppm). See Table 2 for results.
~ 0: no corrosion
~ 1: light corrosion (< 6 corrosion sites less than 1 mm in diameter)
~ 2: moderate corrosion (< 5 % of the surface corroded)
~ 3: heavy corrosion (> 5 % of the surface corroded)
Example 6
Testing for filterability in the presence of calcium ions
0.3 g of distilled water and 30 ppm of calcium in the form of a calcium
detergent (6.9 % Ca)
are added to 300 g of the test formulation. The mixture is homogenised in a
four-blade mixer
at the maximum speed of rotation for 5 min.. The emulsion is stored for 96
hours at 70°C
(+/- 2°C) and then for a further 48 hours at room temperature in the
dark. If precipitation is
observed, the test is stopped. Before filtration, the test mixture is
homogenised again by
shaking vigorously for one minute. It is then filtered through a 0.8 N
Millipore0 filter (type
AAWP 04700) using compressed air at 1 bar (+/- 0.05 bar) positive pressure.
The times re-
quired to filter 50, 100, 200 and 300 ml of test mixture are measured. The
filtration index FI is
calculated, as the mean of two measurements, in accordance with the following
formula (see
AFNOR NFE 48-691):
FI = (t3oomi - t2oomi)/ 2 (t100m1 - t50m1)
FI =1 means that no resistance is built up at the filter.
FI < 2 is the requirement for passing the test.
In the event of the filter becoming blocked, a note is made after 60 min. of
the volume of oil
filtered up until then.
