Abstract

New ashless TBN molecules are synthesized, and lubricant compositions containing them, boost the total base number. The lubricant compositions further tested for ASTM D6594 copper corrosion test meets ASTM limits.

Claims (15)

1. A lubricant composition comprising:

a base oil of lubricating viscosity and an ashless TBN lubricant oil additive of Formula A:

where R 1 , R 2 , R 5 , R 6 are each independently hydrogen; a C 1 to C 6 hydrocarbyl group; a C 1 to C 6 alkyl, aryl or alkoxy group, or a C 1 to C 6 hydrocarbyl group further comprising an ether linkage to a —O(CH 2 ) n —CH 3 group where n=0-3; R 3 is an unsubstituted straight chain C 5 to C 12 alkyl group, optionally containing an ether linkage; and R 4 is hydrogen or a C 1 to C 5 alkyl group.

2. The lubricant composition of claim 1 wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently a Ci to Cs alkyl group.

3. The lubricant composition of claim 1 , wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 5 , and R 6 are each hydrogen.

4. The lubricant composition of claim 1 , wherein the ashless TBN lubricant oil additive is

5. The lubricant composition of claim 1 , comprising the ashless TBN additive in weight % based on the weight of the final lubricant oil formulation between about 0.1 wt % to about 10 wt %.

6. The lubricant composition of claim 1 , comprising base oil in a weight % based on the weight of the final formulation of between about 63% and about 98.9%, an ashless TBN additive in weight % based on the weight of the final lubricant oil formulation between about 0.1 wt % to about 10 wt %, a viscosity modifier in a weight % based on the weight of the final formulation of between about 0.1 wt % and about 2 wt %, and an additive package in a weight % based on the weight of the final formulation of between about 1 wt % and about 25 wt %.

7. A lubricant composition comprising:

a base oil of lubricating viscosity and an ashless TBN lubricant oil additive of Formula B:

wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 6 , R 7 are each independently a hydrogen, C 1 to C 6 hydrocarbyl group, a C 1 to C 6 alkyl, aryl or alkoxy group, or a C 1 to C 6 hydrocarbyl group further comprising an ether linkage to a —O(CH 2 ) n —CH 3 group where n=0-3; R 3 and R 5 are each independently an unsubstituted straight chain C 1 to C 6 alkyl group, optionally containing an ether linkage, and R 4 is optionally an unsubstituted straight chain C 5 to C 12 alkyl group, optionally containing an ether linkage.

8. The lubricant composition of claim 7 wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently are each independently a C 1 to C 5 alkyl group.

9. The lubricant composition of claim 7 , wherein the ashless TBN lubricant oil additive is

10. The lubricant composition of claim 7 , comprising the ashless TBN additive in weight % based on the weight of the final lubricant oil formulation between about 0.1 weight % to about 10 weight %.

11. The lubricant composition of claim 7 , comprising base oil in a weight % based on the weight of the final formulation of between about 63% and about 98.9%, an ashless TBN additive in weight % based on the weight of the final lubricant oil formulation between about 0.1 wt % to about 10 wt %, a viscosity modifier in a weight % based on the weight of the final formulation of between about 0.1 wt % and about 2 wt %, and an additive package in a weight % based on the weight of the final formulation of between about 1 wt % and about 25 wt %.
