Compositions comprising a hydrocarbonaceous middle distillate fuel and a minor wear-inhibiting amount of a combination of (i) at least one fuel-soluble aryl phosphate of the formula

Organic phosphates and their use as wear inhibitors

When a phenol having substituents in at least the 2- and 4-positions but having a hydrogen atom in the 6-position, or a phenol having substituents in at least the 2- and 6-positions but having a hydrogen atom in the 4-position is reacted with formaldehyde and 1,3-propanediamine, a unique insertion-condensation reaction occurs whereby the product is a hexahydropyrimidine derivative which may be represented by the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is (i) a 2-hydroxybenzyl group having an inert substituent (preferably a hydrocarbyl substituent) in at least the 3- and 5-positions or (ii) a 4-hydroxybenzyl group having an inert substituent (preferably a hydrocarbyl substituent) in at least the 3- and 5-positions; and R.sub.2 is (i) a 2-hydroxybenzyl group having an inert substituent (preferably a hydrocarbyl substituent) in at least the 3- and 5-positions or (ii) a 4-hydroxybenzyl group having an inert substituent (preferably a hydrocarbyl substituent) in at least the 3- and 5-positions or (iii) a hydrogen atom. Uses for such compounds include their use as antioxidants and stabilizers for various substrates, such as fuels, lubricants, and functional fluids.

Hexahydropyrimidine derivatives

Liquid mixtures of alkyl phenols composed of from 1 to 8 wt % of 2-tert-butylphenol; from 4 to 12 wt % of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol; from 4 to 12 wt % of 2-tert-butyl-4-n-butylphenol; from 4 to 12 wt % of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol; and from 65 to 89 wt % of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-n-butylphenol having a balance of properties rendering them ideally suited for use as stabilizers for middle distillate fuels. Such mixtures can be readily produced by an aldehyde-catalytzed alkylation procedure using n-butanol, an appropriate mixture of tertiary butylated phenols, and a strong base (e.g., NaOH, KOH, etc.).

Stabilizer compositions

Liquid mixtures of alkyl phenols composed of from 1 to 8 wt % 2-tert-butylphenol; from 4 to 12 wt % of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol; from 4 to 12 wt % of 2-tri-tert-butylphenol; and from 65 to 80 wt % of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-n-butylphenol have a balance of properties rendering them ideally suited for use as stabilizers for middle distillate fuels. Such mixtures can be readily produced by an aldehyde-catalyzed alkylation procedure using n-butanol, an appropriate mixture of tertiary butylated phenols, and a strong base (e.g., NaOH, KOH, etc.).
