Process for preparing over-based sulfurized alkaline earth metal phenates

摘要

A process for producing over-based sulfurized alkaline earth metal phenates useful as lubricating oil or fuel oil additives comprising reacting a phenol, sulfur, a dihydric alcohol and an alkaline earth metal oxide or hydroxide with about 0.99 to about 0.001 gram equivalents per phenolic hydroxyl group, and reacting the reaction product with carbon dioxide at a temperature of about 50 DEG to about 230 DEG C.
