<p>Poly(oxyalkylene) hydroxyaromatic esters having the formula: <IMAGE> (I) or a fuel-soluble salt thereof; where R1 and R2 are each independently hydrogen, hydroxy, lower alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or lower alkoxy having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; R3 and R4 are each independently hydrogen or lower alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; R5 is hydrogen, alkyl having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, phenyl, aralkyl or alkaryl having 7 to 36 carbon atoms, or an acyl group having the formula: <IMAGE> wherein R6 is alkyl having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, phenyl, or aralkyl or alkaryl having 7 to 36 carbon atoms; R7 and R8 are each independently hydrogen, hydroxy, lower alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or lower alkoxy having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; n is an integer from 5 to 100; and x and y are each independently an integer from 0 to 10. The poly(oxyalkylene) hydroxyaromatic esters of formula I are useful as fuel additives for the prevention and control of engine deposits.</p> |
