Antioxidants for industrial, automotive, and aviation lubricants and methods of making the same are provided. A process using alkylated diphenylamines; alkylated phenyl-alpha-naphthyl amines; and a metal catalyst to form oxidates is provided. The metal catalyst is a combination of a cation and an organic anion, for example, a metal acetylacetone. The reaction takes place in the presence of oxygen to form an antioxidant comprising oligomers of the alkylated diphenylamine and the alkylated phenyl-alpha-naphthyl amine, and a metal component of the catalyst. |
