Alkylated anisole lubricant and method for his preparation

摘要

A hydrolytically stable lubricant component (basestock or additive) exhibiting superior antiwear properties, dispersancy, thermal stability and oxidative stability. The base oil comprises a mixture of mono, di and tri alkylated anisoles. The lubricant is produced by alkylating anisole with an olefin as alkylating agent in the presence of a catalyst such as a zeolite to minimize the extent of olefin oligomerization and to produce a lubricant product which is essentially free of oelfin olgomers and which may be used as a lubricant component without any intervening hydrogenation treatment.
