NOVEL BRANCHED-CHAIN MONOALCOHOLS AND DERIVATIVES THEREOF, LUBRICANT COMPOSITIONS FOR POLYMERS AND WAX COMPOSITIONS IN WHICH THESE NOVEL PRODUCTS ARE INCORPORATED

摘要

Novel branched-chain monoalcohols and derivatives thereof are disclosed. Such derivatives are selected from the group consisting of (a) esters of aromatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic acids having at least 2 carbon atoms and 1, 2 or 3 carboxyl groups; (b) urethanes of aromatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic isocyanates; (c) monoethers of polyalkylene oxide glycols having 2 to 50 alkylene oxide units each containing 2 or 3 carbon atoms and the alkylpolyoxyalkylene sulfates derived therefrom; (d) sulfates. The branched-chain monoalcohols are obtained by reduction of branched-chain monocarboxylic acids or esters thereof. Said acids are telomeric acids obtained by the free radical addition of 1 mole of acetic anhydride to at least three moles of hexene and/or higher olefins containing up to 30 or more carbon atoms (C30+) in the presence of a trivalent manganese compound. The products of this invention are suitable for use in engine lubricating oils, lubricant compositions for polymers and wax compositions.
