POLYFLUORINATED COMPOUNDS,THEIR PREPARATION AND THEIR USE AS LUBRICANT ADDITIVES

摘要

The invention relates to new polyfluorinated compounds which are usable as anti-wear additives for lubricants. These compounds are of general formula: in which RF is a perfluorinated radical, X denotes a divalent linkage-(CH2CF2)a(CH2)b-, -CF=CH-CH2- or -CFH-CH2CH2-, a is an integer ranging from 0 to 10, b is an integer ranging from 1 to 4 but equal to 2 if a is other than zero, R1 denotes a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical, R2 denotes a hydrogen atom or a methyl radical and R3 denotes an alkyl radical. They are prepared by condensing an amino alcohol, RF-X-NH-CH2CH(R1)OH, with an alkyl ester of an unsaturated carboxylic acid, CH2=C(R2)-COOR3.
