COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING OR REDUCING LOW SPEED
PRE-IGNITION IN SPARK-IGNITED INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES
TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] This disclosure relates to fuel and lubricant compositions for spark-
ignited engines and methods for preventing or reducing low speed pre-ignition
events
using the same.
BACKGROUND
[002] Turbocharged or supercharged engines (i.e., boosted internal
combustion engines) may exhibit an abnormal combustion phenomenon known as
stochastic pre-ignition or low-speed pre-ignition (or "LSPI"). LSPI is an
event that may
include very high pressure spikes, early combustion during an inappropriate
crank
angle, and knock. All of these, individually and in combination, have the
potential to
cause degradation and/or severe damage to the engine. However, because LSPI
events occur only sporadically and in an uncontrolled fashion, it is difficult
to identify
the causes for this phenomenon and to develop solutions to suppress it.
[003] Pre-ignition is a form of combustion that results in ignition of the air-
fuel
mixture in the combustion chamber prior to the desired ignition of the air-
fuel mixture
by the igniter. Pre-ignition has typically been a problem during high load
engine
operation since heat from operation of the engine may heat a part of the
combustion
chamber to a sufficient temperature to ignite the air-fuel mixture upon
contact. This
type of pre-ignition is sometimes referred to as hot-spot pre-ignition.
[004] More recently, intermittent abnormal combustion has been observed in
boosted internal combustion engines at low speeds and medium-to-high loads.
For
example, during operation of the engine at 3000 rpm or less, under load, with
a brake
mean effective pressure (BMEP) of at least 10 bar, low-speed pre-ignition
(LSPI) may
occur in a random and stochastic fashion. During low speed engine operation,
the
compression stroke time is longest.

WO 2019/180685
PCT/IB2019/052366

[005] Previous studies have demonstrated that turbocharger use, engine
design, engine coatings, piston shape, fuel choice, and/or engine oil
additives may
contribute to an increase in LSPI events. Accordingly, there is a need for
fuel and
engine oil additive components and/or combinations that are effective to
reduce or
eliminate LSPI.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Introduction
[009] In this specification, the following words and expressions, if and when
used, have the meanings ascribed below.
[010] "Gasoline" or "gasoline boiling range components" refers to a
composition containing at least predominantly C4-C12 hydrocarbons. In one
embodiment, gasoline or gasoline boiling range components is further defined
to refer
to a composition containing at least predominantly C4-C12 hydrocarbons and
further
having a boiling range of from about 100 F (37.8 C) to about 400 F (204 C). In
an
alternative embodiment, gasoline or gasoline boiling range components is
defined to
refer to a composition containing at least predominantly C4-C12 hydrocarbons,
having
a boiling range of from about 100 F (37.8 C) to about 400 F (204 C), and
further
defined to meet ASTM D4814.
[011] The term "diesel" refers to middle distillate fuels containing at least
predominantly Cio-C25 hydrocarbons. In one embodiment, diesel is further
defined to
refer to a composition containing at least predominantly Cio-C25 hydrocarbons,
and
further having a boiling range of from about 165.6 C (330 F) to about 371.1 C
(700 F).
3

CA 03094919 2020-09-23
WO 2019/180685
PCT/IB2019/052366
4
In an alternative embodiment, diesel is as defined above to refer to a
composition
containing at least predominantly Cio-C25 hydrocarbons, having a boiling range
of
from about 165.6 C (330 F) to about 371.1 C (700 F), and further defined to
meet
ASTM D975.
[012] The term "oil soluble" means that for a given additive, the amount
needed to provide the desired level of activity or performance can be
incorporated by
being dissolved, dispersed or suspended in an oil of lubricating viscosity.
Usually, this
means that at least 0.001% by weight of the additive can be incorporated in a
lubricating oil composition. The term "fuel soluble" is an analogous
expression for
additives dissolved, dispersed or suspended in fuel.
[013] The term "alkyl" refers to saturated hydrocarbon groups, which can be
linear, branched, cyclic, or a combination of cyclic, linear and/or branched.
[014] An "alkanol" is an alkyl group, as described herein, having a hydroxy
substituent (i.e., an ¨OH group).
[015] A "minor amount" means less than 50 wt % of a composition, expressed
in respect of the stated additive and in respect of the total weight of the
composition,
reckoned as active ingredient of the additive.
[016] An "analog" is a compound having a structure similar to another
compound but differing from it in respect to a certain component such as one
or more
atoms, functional groups, substructures, which are replaced with other atoms,
groups,
or substructures.
[017] A "homolog" is a compound belonging to a series of compounds that
differ from each other by a repeating unit. Alkanes are examples of homologs.
For
example, ethane and propane are homologs because they differ only in the
length of
a repeating unit (-CH2-). A homolog may be considered a specific type of
analog.
[018] A "derivative" is a compound that is derived from a similar compound
via a chemical reaction (e.g., acid-base reaction, hydrogenation, etc.). In
the context
of substituent groups, a derivative may be a combination of one or more
moiety. For
example, a phenol moiety may be considered a derivative of aryl moiety and
hydroxyl
4

CA 03094919 2020-09-23
WO 2019/180685
PCT/IB2019/052366
moiety. A person of ordinary skill in the related art would know the metes and
bounds
of what is considered a derivative. The term "substituted" refers to a
substitution or
replacement of an atom or atoms of a compound. As an illustrative example, a
"substituted alkyl group" may refer to, among other things, an ethanol.
[019] An "engine" or a "combustion engine" is a heat engine where the
combustion of fuel occurs in a combustion chamber. An "internal combustion
engine"
is a heat engine where the combustion of fuel occurs in a confined space
("combustion
chamber"). A "spark ignition engine" is a heat engine where the combustion is
ignited
by a spark, usually from a spark plug. This is contrast to a "compression-
ignition
engine," typically a diesel engine, where the heat generated from compression
together with injection of fuel is sufficient to initiate combustion without
an external
spark.
Low Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI)
[020] Low Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) is most or more likely to occur in direct-
injected, boosted (turbocharged or supercharged), spark-ignited (gasoline)
internal
combustion engines that, in operation, generate a brake mean effective
pressure level
of greater than 1000 kPa (10 bar) at engine speeds of from 1500 to 2500
rotations per
minute (rpm), such as at engine speeds of from 1500 to 2000 rpm. "Brake mean
effective pressure" (BMEP) is defined as the work accomplished during on
engine cycle,
divided by the engine swept volume, the engine torque normalized by engine
displacement. The word "brake" denotes the actual torque or power available at
the
engine flywheel, as measured on a dynamometer. Thus, BMEP is a measure of the
useful energy output of the engine.
[021] It has now been found that the fuel compositions or lubricating oil
compositions of this disclosure which are particularly useful in high pressure
spark-
ignited internal combustion engines and, when used in the high-pressure spark-
ignited internal combustion engines, will prevent or minimize engine knocking
and
pre-ignition problems.

Primary LSPI-Reducing Additives
[022] The following are descriptions of primary additives that can be utilized
as a fuel or lubricant additive to reduce LSPI activity. Primary LSPI-reducing
additives
can be used as standalone additives and/or with other primary additive(s)
and/or with
of one or more secondary LSPI-reducing additive (described later). When more
than
one additive is used, the additives may be in salt form. Moreover, when two or
more
additives are used, there may be synergy between the two or more additives. In
general, these additives are fuel or oil soluble at concentrations needed to
achieved a
desired LSPI reduction level. Table 1 summarizes the primary additive types.

Salts
[058] The salts of this disclosure may be prepared by conventional means, for
example, by mixing the primary additive with a suitable secondary additive in
an
aprotic solvent. The order in which one additive is added to the other is not
important.
The primary additive and secondary additive are usually mixed together in an
approximately equimolar ratio. An excess of the primary or secondary additive
component may be used. For example, the molar ratio of base relative to the
alkyl
carboxylic acid may be about 1.05:1 to 2:1 (e.g., 1.1:1 to 1.5:1).
Representative salts are
shown below.

Fuel Compositions
[059] The compounds of the present disclosure may be useful as additives in
hydrocarbon fuels to prevent or reduce engine knock or pre-ignition events in
spark-
ignited internal combustion engines.
[060] The concentration of the compounds of the present disclosure in
hydrocarbon fuel may range from 25 to 5000 parts per million (ppm) by weight
(e.g.,
50 to 1000 ppm).
[061] The compounds of the present disclosure may be formulated as a
concentrate using an inert stable oleophilic (i.e., soluble in hydrocarbon
fuel) organic
solvent boiling in a range of 65 C to 205 C. An aliphatic or an aromatic
hydrocarbon
solvent may be used, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, or higher-boiling
aromatics or
aromatic thinners. Aliphatic alcohols containing 2 to 8 carbon atoms, such as
ethanol,
isopropanol, methyl isobutyl carbinol, n-butanol and the like, in combination
with the
hydrocarbon solvents are also suitable for use with the present additives. In
the
concentrate, the amount of the additive may range from 10 to 70 wt % (e.g., 20
to 40
wt %).
[062] In gasoline fuels, other well-known additives can be employed including
oxygenates (e.g., ethanol, methyl tert-butyl ether), other anti-knock agents,
and
detergents/dispersants (e.g., hydrocarbyl amines, hydrocarbyl
poly(oxyalkylene)
amines, succinimides, Mannich reaction products, aromatic esters of
polyalkylphenoxyalkanols, or polyalkylphenoxyaminoalkanes). Additionally,
friction
modifiers, antioxidants, metal deactivators and demulsifiers may be present.
[063] In diesel fuels, other well-known additives can be employed, such as
pour
point depressants, flow improvers, cetane improvers, and the like.
[064] A fuel-soluble, non-volatile carrier fluid or oil may also be used with
compounds of this disclosure. The carrier fluid is a chemically inert
hydrocarbon-
soluble liquid vehicle which substantially increases the non-volatile residue
(NVR), or
solvent-free liquid fraction of the fuel additive composition while not
overwhelmingly
contributing to octane requirement increase. The carrier fluid may be a
natural or
37

CA 03094919 2020-09-23
WO 2019/180685
PCT/IB2019/052366
38
synthetic oil, such as mineral oil, refined petroleum oils, synthetic
polyalkanes and
alkenes, including hydrogenated and unhydrogenated polyalphaolefins, synthetic
polyoxyallwlene-derived oils, such as those described in U.S. Patent Nos.
3,756,793;
4,191,537; and 5,004,478; and in European Patent Appl. Pub. Nos. 356,726 and
382,159.
[065] The carrier fluids may be employed in amounts ranging from 35 to 5000
ppm by weight of the hydrocarbon fuel (e.g., 50 to 3000 ppm of the fuel). When
employed in a fuel concentrate, carrier fluids may be present in amounts
ranging from
20 to 60 wt % (e.g., 30 to 50 wt %).
Lubricating Oil Compositions
[066] The compounds of the present disclosure may be useful as additives in
lubricating oils to prevent or reduce engine knock or pre-ignition events in
spark-
ignited internal combustion engines.
[067] The concentration of the compounds of the present disclosure in the
lubricating oil composition may range from 0.01 to 15 wt % (e.g., 0.5 to 5 wt
%), based
on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition.
[068] The oil of lubricating viscosity (sometimes referred to as "base stock"
or
"base oil") is the primary liquid constituent of a lubricant, into which
additives and
possibly other oils are blended, for example to produce a final lubricant (or
lubricant
composition). A base oil, which is useful for making concentrates as well as
for making
lubricating oil compositions therefrom, may be selected from natural
(vegetable,
animal or mineral) and synthetic lubricating oils and mixtures thereof.
[069] Definitions for the base stocks and base oils in this disclosure are the
same as those found in American Petroleum Institute (API) Publication 1509
Annex E
("API Base Oil Interchangeability Guidelines for Passenger Car Motor Oils and
Diesel
Engine Oils," December 2016). Group I base stocks contain less than 90%
saturates
and/or greater than 0.03% sulfur and have a viscosity index greater than or
equal to
80 and less than 120 using the test methods specified in Table E-1. Group II
base stocks
contain greater than or equal to 90% saturates and less than or equal to 0.03%
sulfur
and have a viscosity index greater than or equal to 80 and less than 120 using
the test
38

CA 03094919 2020-09-23
WO 2019/180685
PCT/IB2019/052366
39
methods specified in Table E-1. Group III base stocks contain greater than or
equal to
90% saturates and less than or equal to 0.03% sulfur and have a viscosity
index greater
than or equal to 120 using the test methods specified in Table E-1. Group IV
base
stocks are polyalphaolefins (PAO). Group V base stocks include all other base
stocks
not included in Group I, II, Ill, or IV.
[070] Natural oils include animal oils, vegetable oils (e.g., castor oil and
lard
oil), and mineral oils. Animal and vegetable oils possessing favorable thermal
oxidative
stability can be used. Of the natural oils, mineral oils are preferred.
Mineral oils vary
widely as to their crude source, for example, as to whether they are
paraffinic,
naphthenic, or mixed paraffinic-naphthenic. Oils derived from coal or shale
are also
useful. Natural oils vary also as to the method used for their production and
purification, for example, their distillation range and whether they are
straight run or
cracked, hydrorefined, or solvent extracted.
[071] Synthetic oils include hydrocarbon oil. Hydrocarbon oils include oils
such
as polymerized and interpolymerized olefins (e.g., polybutylenes,
polypropylenes,
propylene isobutylene copolymers, ethylene-olefin copolymers, and ethylene-
alphaolefin copolymers). Polyalphaolefin (PAO) oil base stocks are commonly
used
synthetic hydrocarbon oil. By way of example, PAOs derived from C8 to C14
olefins, e.g.,
C8, C10, C12, C14 olefins or mixtures thereof, may be utilized.
[072] Other useful fluids for use as base oils include non-conventional or
unconventional base stocks that have been processed, preferably catalytically,
or
synthesized to provide high performance characteristics.
[073] Non-conventional or unconventional base stocks/base oils include one
or more of a mixture of base stock(s) derived from one or more Gas-to-Liquids
(GTL)
materials, as well as isomerate/isodewaxate base stock(s) derived from natural
wax or
waxy feeds, mineral and or non-mineral oil waxy feed stocks such as slack
waxes,
natural waxes, and waxy stocks such as gas oils, waxy fuels hydrocracker
bottoms, waxy
raffinate, hydrocrackate, thermal crackates, or other mineral, mineral oil, or
even non-
39

CA 03094919 2020-09-23
WO 2019/180685
PCT/IB2019/052366
petroleum oil derived waxy materials such as waxy materials received from coal
liquefaction or shale oil, and mixtures of such base stocks.
[074] Base oils for use in the lubricating oil compositions of present
disclosure
are any of the variety of oils corresponding to API Group I, Group II, Group
III, Group
IV, and Group V oils, and mixtures thereof, preferably API Group II, Group
III, Group IV,
and Group V oils, and mixtures thereof, more preferably the Group III to Group
V base
oils due to their exceptional volatility, stability, viscometric and
cleanliness features.
[075] Typically, the base oil will have a kinematic viscosity at 100 C (ASTM
D445) in a range of 2.5 to 20 mm2/s (e.g., 3 to 12 mm2/s, 4 to 10 mm2/s, or
4.5 to 8
mm2/s).
[076] The present lubricating oil compositions may also contain conventional
lubricant additives for imparting auxiliary functions to give a finished
lubricating oil
composition in which these additives are dispersed or dissolved. For example,
the
lubricating oil compositions can be blended with antioxidants, ashless
dispersants,
anti-wear agents, detergents such as metal detergents, rust inhibitors,
dehazing
agents, demulsifying agents, friction modifiers, metal deactivating agents,
pour point
depressants, viscosity modifiers, antifoaming agents, co-solvents, package
compatibilizers, corrosion-inhibitors, dyes, extreme pressure agents and the
like and
mixtures thereof. A variety of the additives are known and commercially
available.
These additives, or their analogous compounds, can be employed for the
preparation
of the lubricating oil compositions of the invention by the usual blending
procedures.
[077] Each of the foregoing additives, when used, is used at a functionally
effective amount to impart the desired properties to the lubricant. Thus, for
example,
if an additive is an ashless dispersant, a functionally effective amount of
this ashless
dispersant would be an amount sufficient to impart the desired dispersancy
characteristics to the lubricant. Generally, the concentration of each of
these additives,
when used, may range, unless otherwise specified, from about 0.001 to about 20
wt %,
such as about 0.01 to about 10 wt %.

EXAMPLES
[078] The following illustrative examples are intended to be non-limiting.
EXAMPLES 1-45
[079] The test compounds were blended in gasoline or lube oil and their
capacity for reducing LSPI events were determined using the test method
described
below.
[080] A GM 2.0 L LHU 4-cylinder gasoline turbocharged direct-injected engine
was used for LSPI testing. Each cylinder was equipped with a combustion
pressure
sensor.
[081] A six-segment test procedure was used to determine the number of LSPI
events that occurred under conditions of an engine speed of 2000 rpm and a
load of
275 Nm. The LSPI test condition is run for 28 minutes with each segment
separated by
an idle period. The first segment is used to condition the oil and the number
of LSPI
events are not counted. Each segment is slightly truncated to eliminate the
transient
portion. Each truncated segment typically has approximately 100,000 combustion
cycles (25,000 combustion cycles per cylinder). In total, the five truncated
segments
where LSPI events are counted have approximately 500,000 combustion cycles
(125,000 combustion cycles per cylinder). There may be instances of shortened
tests
in the event the engine cannot complete all six segments.
[082] LSPI-impacted combustion cycles were determined by monitoring peak
cylinder pressure (PP) and crank angle at 5% total heat release (A15). LSPI-
impacted
combustion cycles are defined as having both (1) a PP greater than five
standard
deviations than the average PP for a given cylinder and truncated segment and
(2) an
A15 greater than five standard deviations less than the average for a given
cylinder and
truncated segment.
[083] The LSPI frequency is reported as the number of LSPI-impacted
combustion cycles per million combustion cycles and is calculated as follows:
41

CA 03094919 2020-09-23
WO 2019/180685
PCT/IB2019/052366
42
LSPI Frequency = [(Total Number of LSPI Impacted Combustion Cycles in five
Truncated
Segments)/(Total Number of Combustion Cycles in five Truncated Segments)] x
1,000,000
[084] An additive associated with a test fuel and/or test lubricant that
reduces
the LSPI frequency, when compared to the corresponding baseline fuel and/or
baseline
lubricant, is considered an additive that mitigates LSPI frequency. For
testing herein,
the baseline fuel was a conventional 49-state premium unleaded gasoline fuel
without
any deposit control additives and the baseline lubricant was representative of
a
conventional engine oil meeting ILSAC GF-5 and API SN specifications. In some
of the
tests, tetralin was added to the gasoline to promote LSPI. The test results
are set forth
in Table 2.
