Hydroxy-substituted monolactones and use thereof as intermediates for preparing lubricating oil and fuel additives

摘要

Compositions comprising hydroxy-substituted monolactones, a process for reacting olefinic compounds with certain carboxylic reactants and products prepared by the process. The compositions containing the hydroxy-substituted lactones and the products of the process are useful as intermediates for the preparation of additives for lubricants and fuels.
