The present invention is directed to a novel process for making Group II metal overbased sulfurized alkylphenols, which process uses alkylene carbonate as both a source of carbon dioxide and alkylene glycol. In particular, under the reaction conditions using ethylene carbonate, carbonation time is reduced to about one quarter the time taught in the prior art to make Group II metal overbased sulfurized alkylphenol compositions. The present invention is also directed to a detergent-dispersant additive composition comprising a Group II metal overbased sulfurized alkylphenols, wherein the Group II metal overbased sulfurized alkylphenols have a reduced color as measured by ASTM Test No. D 6045 and an increased hydrolytic stability as measured by a modified ASTM Test No. 2619. The present invention is also directed to a process using ethylene carbonate or alkyl-substituted ethylene carbonate and water for delivering in situ equimolar quantities of ethylene glycol and carbon dioxide for use as reactants in chemical reactions.

Process for making Group II metal overbased sulfurized alkylphenols

Low overbased alkaline earth metal alkylaryl sulfonate having a Total Base Number of from about 2 to about 30, a dialkylate content of 0% to about 25% and a monoalkylate content of about 75% to about 90% or more, wherein the alkylaryl moiety is alkyltoluene or alkylbenzene in which the alkyl group is a C -C branched chain alkyl group derived from a propylene oligomer are useful as lubricating oil additives.

Low overbased alkylaryl sulfonates

Mixture of alkyl phenyl sulfonates of alkaline earth metals having: (a) from 20% to 70% by weight of a linear mono alkyl phenyl sulfonate in which the linear mono alkyl substituent contains from 14 to 40 carbon atoms, preferably from 20 to 24 carbon atoms, and the mole % of the phenyl sulfonate radical fixed on position 1 or 2 of the linear alkyl chain is between 10% and 25%, preferably between 13% and 20%, and (b) from 30% to 80% by weight of a branched mono alkyl phenyl sulfonate in which the branched mono alkyl substituent contains from 14 to 18 carbon atoms.

Mixture of alkyl-phenyl-sulfonates of alkaline earth metals, its application as an additive for lubricating oil, and methods of preparation

An additive useful in a marine lubricating oil is produced by reacting at elevated temperatures in the presence of at least one light hydrocarbon solvent and promoter: an alkyl oxy aromatic sulfonate; an alkaline earth metal base; carbon dioxide; and an acid component, such as carboxylic acid, an acid anhydride, an acid choride, or ester thereof. If the alkyl oxy aromatic sulfonate is in the acidic form, then the acid component is in the acidic form. If the alkyl oxy aromatic sulfonate is in the neutralized form, then the acid component is in the neutralized form. If the alkyl oxy aromatic sulfonate is in the overbased form, then the acid component is either in the acidic form or in the neutralized form.
