*This invention relates to lubricant compositions and, in one of its aspects, relates more particularly to lubricant compositions which normally exhibit unsatisfactory detergent properties.
2. Description Of The Prior Art.
It isirvell-knlown that lubricant oils, intended for a wide variety of functions, such as gasoline engine lubricants and other related uses, tend to form sludge and undesirable deposits during use or storage. These conditions have therefore necessita'ted the introduction of various detergents or dispersantsfor prevention or reduction of sludge formation. In this respect, it has also been found highly desirable'that such detergents exhibit nitrogen-free and ashless characteristics. As of the present time, conventional detergents may be deficient in one or more of such criteria. I
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION bonyl compounds, employed as detergents in the novel lubricant compositions, are prepared by reacting alkenylsuccinic anhydrides with polyhydric alcohols in equimolar amounts; reactin'gthe ester thus formed with a compound selected from the group consisting of aldehydes and ketones to form the corresponding acetal or ketal; and removing water formed during the reaction. In general, the aforementioned reaction is carried out at a temperature from about 100C. to about 200C. and preferably at a temperature from about 140C. to about 180C, For most applications the alljtenylsuccinic anhydride preferably contains from about 30 to about 500 carbon atoms Any polyhydric alcohol can be em ployed in the aforementioned reaction for producing the acetal or ketal and particularly preferred, and representative thereof, are trimethylol propane, pentacrythritol, glycerol, butanediol, pinacol, sorbitol, erythritol, mannitol, cyclohexanediol and glycerol mono oleate. Any aldehyde may also ,be employed for reaction with the ester, formed by reacting the alkenylsuccinic anhydride with the polyhydric alcohol, and particularly preferred, and representative thereof, are formaldehyde, salicylaldehyde, glyoxal, 2 ethyl hexaldehyde, butyraldehyde, octadecyl aldehyde and benzaldehyde. Any ketone may be employed for forming the desired ketal, and particularly preferred and representative thereof, are diacetone alcohol, benzoin, methyl ethyl ketone, di octyl ketone, methyl dodecyl ketone and methyl octadecyl ketone. i
Any'oil of lubricating viscosity can be successfully treated with the aforementioned acetals or ketals for imparting detergent properties. In general, hydrocarbon lubricating oils of varying viscosity and pour points may be employed, and particularly contemplated are liquid hydrocarbon oils boiling within the range from about 75F. to about 1000F. or higher. Also, more specifically contemplated are mineral lubricating oils, of any suitable lubricating viscosity range from about 45 SSU at 100F. to about 6000 SSU at 100F. and, preferably, from about 50 to about 250 SSU at 210F. Such oils may have viscosity indexes varying from below to about 100 or-higher. Viscosity indexes from about 70 to about 95 are preferred. The average molecular weights of these oils may range from about 250 to about 800.
As herei'nbefore indicated, the lubricant composition is formulated to include the acetal or -ketal in an amount sufficient to impart the desired degree of detergency. In general, inmany applications the carbonyl compound (i.e., acetal or ketal) is employed in an amount from about 1 to about percent, and preferably in an amount from about 2 to about 6 percent, by weight, of the total weight of the lubricant composition.
' DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS The following data and examples will serve to illustrate the marked degree in detergency improvement of lubricant compositions, by employing the aforemenjtioned acetal or ketal additives. It will be understood,
however, thatit is not intended that the invention be limited to the particular lubricant compositions disclosed, nor thespecific =acetals or ketals employed as detergents. Various modifications thereof can be employed and will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. I

The resulting mixture was refluxed at 140C. for a period of about 10 hours. Formalin solution containing 21 grams (0.7 mol) formaldehyde was then added at a temperature of about C. and then refluxed at a temperature of C. for a period of 8 hours.

The reaction mixture was then refluxed at about 160C. until evolution of water ceased. The mixture was neutralized by refluxing with 35 grams of a 30 percent ammonium hydroxide solution. Filtration and topping at reduced pressure gave the final product.
EXAMPLE 4 EXAMPLE 5 A mixture of 850 grams (0.5. mol combining weight) of a polybutenylsuccinic anhydride, 136 grams (1.0 mol) pentaerythritol, 7 grams para toluene sulfonic acid, and 200 grams xylene was refluxed at about 180C. for about hours. Formalin solution containing 60 grams (2.0 mol) formaldehyde was added with toluene diluent. The mixture was then refluxed by gradually raising the temperature to about 190C. The mixture was neutralized by refluxing with 35 grams of a 30 percent ammonium hydroxide solution. Filtration and topping at reduced pressure gave the final product.
EXAMPLE 6 A mixture of 832 grams (0.5 mol combining weight) of a polybutenylsuccinic anhydride, 68 grams (0.5 mol) pentaerythritol, 6 grams para toluene sulfonic acid, and 200 grams xylene was refluxed at about 175C. for about 10 hours. 61 grams (0.5 mol salicylaldehyde was added with toluene diluent and the mixture refluxed at about 175 C. for 10 hours. The mixture was neutralized by refluxing with 50 grams of a 30 percent ammonium hydroxide solution. Filtration and topping at reduced pressure gave the final product.
EXAMPLE 7 A mixture of 832 grams (0.5 mol combining weight) of a polybutenylsuccinic anhydride, 68 grams (0.5 mol) pentaerythritol, 6 grams para toluene sulfonic acid, and 200 grams xylene was refluxed at about 175C. for about 10 hours. 58 grams (0.5 mol) diacetone alcohol was added with toluene diluent and the mixture refluxed at about 175C. for 8 hours. The mixture was neutralized by refluxing with 35 grams of a 30 percent ammonium hydroxide solution. Filtration and topping at reduced pressure gave the final product.
EXAMPLE 8 A mixture of 1000 grams (0.52 mol combining weight) of a polybutenylsuccinic anhydride, grams (0.52 mol) pentaerythritol, 6 grams para toluene sulfonic acid, and 200 grams xylene was refluxed at 175C. for about 10 hours. 15.1 grams (0.26 mol) glyoxal was added with toluene diluent and the mixture refluxed at 175C. for 8 hours. The mixture was neutralized by refluxing with 40 grams of a 30 percent ammonium hydroxide solution. Filtration and topping at reduced pressure gave the final product.
EXAMPLE 9 A mixture of 800 grams (0.41 mol combining weight) of a polybutenylsuccinic anhydride, 56 grams (0.41 mol) pentaerythritol, 6 grams para toluene sulfonic acid, and 200 grams xylene was refluxed at 175C. for about 10 hours. 87 grams (0.41 mol) benzoin and 12 grams para toluene sulfonic acid was added with toluene diluent and the mixture refluxed at 200C. for 8 hours. The mixture was neutralized by refluxing with grams of a 30 percent ammonium hydroxide solution. Filtration and topping at reduced pressure gave the final product.
The individual acetal and ketal additives of Examples 1 throught 9 were next individually blended in a base fluid comprising a mixture of conventionally refined lube oil stocks derived from a Mid-continent crude oil. This base fluid also contained, by weight, 1.3 percent of an overbased magnesium sulfonate, 1.2 percent of zinc dithiophosphate and 1.0 percent of barium dithiophosphate. The base fluid and the same base fluid containing the aforementioned individual additives were next subjected for evaluation in a diesel oil test. This test was developed to produce deposits from the oxidation of lubricating oil under conditions which closely approximate those found in the piston zone of a diesel engine. The test consists of an aluminum cylinder heated by radiant energy fron an internal heater. The surface temperature of the heater is maintained at 575F. during the test period minutes). The shaft turns slowly (2 RPM) and dips into an oil sump where it picks up a thin film of oil. This thin film is carried into the oxidation zone where heated gases (moist air at 350F. is typically employed, however, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides and other mixtures can be used) form oxidation deposits. These deposits can be affected by the detergent as the test cylinder rotates into the sump. The efficiency of the detergent is rated by the color and intensity of the deposit on the shaft at the end of the test. The comparative results obtained, employing this test, are shown in the following table.
As will be seen from the foregoing comparative data and results obtained, the acetal and ketal additives of the present invention exhibit an ability to impart outstanding detergent properties to lubricant compositions. Although the present invention has been described with preferred embodiments, it will be understood that various modifications and adaptations thereof may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention,as those skilled in the art will readily understand.
