Lubricant additives having antioxidant and antiwear properties are made by reacting an oolefin such as dicyclopentadiene with sulfur and a mercaptan.

Lubricant additive

Lubricating oils having improved antioxidant and antiwear properties are obtained by adding a minor amount of a reaction product made by reacting an olefinic hydrocarbon containing about 6-18 carbon atoms and about 1-3 olefinic double bonds concurrently with sulfur and hydrogen sulfide to obtain a reaction intermediate and reacting this intermediate with additional olefin hydrocarbon which may be the same or different. Preferred olefinic hydrocarbons are dicyclopentadiene and alloocimene.

Lubricant composition

New compounds are derived from intra-molecular and inter-molecular, in the case of a polymer, sulphur bridged hydrocarbon rings of 12 carbon atoms. The hydrocarbon ring is preferably 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene. The compound also contains the residue of a dithiophosphoric acid containing two organic moieties. The new compounds are useful in major or minor amounts in lubricating oil compositions. The lubricating oil may be a hydraulic oil. The composition may also contain other conventional lubricant additives.

Lubricating oil additives

New compounds are derived from intramolecular and intermolecular, in the case of a polymer, sulfur-bridged hydrocarbon rings containing from 6 to 12 carbon atoms. The hydrocarbon ring is preferably derived from 1,5-cyclooctadiene. The compounds also contain the residue of an alkoxyalkyl or aryloxyalkyl xanthate and may also contain the residue of a further nucleophilic group. The new compounds are useful in lubricating oil compositions. The compositions may also contain other conventional lubricant additives.

Silane derivatives

Norbornenyl compounds such as dicyclopentadiene are sulfurized by reaction with a controlled amount of sulfur in the absence of a solvent or using a non-polar solvent to give a normally liquid oil-soluble sulfur-containing compound useful as a lubricating oil additive.

Process for sulfurizing norbornenyl compounds

Novel compounds useful in hydraulic fluid compositions as additives, as base stock or as members of a blended base stock are glycol-substituted aryl silanes of the formula: ##STR1## wherein: (A) R is aryl;

Hydraulic fluid compositions

As novel compounds, orthosilicate esters having the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a propylene glycol monoalkyl ether residue containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms in the terminal alkyl group or is a tertiary alkyl group; each of R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 is the same or different and is an ethylene or propylene glycol monoalkyl ether residue containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms in the terminal alkyl group or is a tertiary alkyl group, provided that when R.sup.1 is a propylene glycol monoalkyl ether residue each of R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are also propylene glycol monoalkyl ether residues; the total number of carbon atoms in R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 being at least 15 and at least one of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 being a glycol monoalkyl ether residue. Also disclosed are hydraulic fluids containing the novel compounds.

Hydraulic fluids comprising orthosilicate esters

New compounds are derived from intra-molecular and inter-molecular, in the case of a polymer, sulphur bridged hydrocarbon rings containing from 6 to 12 carbon atoms. The hydrocarbon ring is preferably 1,5-cyclooctadiene. The compounds also contain the residue of an alkyl, alkenyl or aralkyl xanthate and may also contain the residue of a further nucleophilic group. The new compounds are useful in lubricating oil compositions. The compositions may also contain other conventional lubricant additives.

Sulphur containing lubricating oil additives

Novel glycol-substituted alkyl silanes useful as components of hydraulic fluids have the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R, R.sup.1, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are specified substituents. Hydraulic fluids containing the glycol-substituted alkyl silanes are also described.
