Abstract

The invention provides a lubricating composition containing an oil of lubricating viscosity and a N-acylated aromatic amine compound. The invention further relates to methods of lubricating an internal combustion engine by supplying the described lubricating composition to the internal combustion engine. The invention further relates to the use of the N-acylated aromatic amine compound as a TBN booster.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A lubricating composition comprising:
(a) an oil of lubricating viscosity; and
(b) 0.05 wt % to 5 wt % of an N-acylated aromatic amine compound having a total base number of at least 25, the N-acylated aromatic amine being a Michael adduct obtained from the reaction product of an aromatic amine of formula (1):

wherein:
R 1 is hydrogen;
each R 2 is independently a hydrocarbyl group of 1 to 24 carbon atoms, or any combination of 2 or more R 2 groups taken together form hydrocarbyl rings;
m is 2 to 4, and
n is 2,
and an acylating agent represented by formula (2):

wherein X is oxygen (O),
R 4 is hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl group of 1 to 24 carbon atoms,
R 5 is hydrogen, a hydrocarbyl group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms, or —(CH 2 C(═O)OR 7 ), and
R 6 and R 7 are hydrogen or hydrocarbyl groups of 1 to 12 carbon atoms.

2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the ethylenically unsaturated acylating agent comprises (meth)acrylic acid, derivatives thereof, and mixtures.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the N-acylated aromatic amine compound is present in an amount sufficient to provide at least 0.25 mg KOH/g to the composition.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein 5% of the compositional TBN is derived from the N-acylated aromatic amine and 95% is derived from other TBN sources.

5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the N-acylated aromatic amine provides an oxidation induction time of at least 80 (min) as measured by ACEA E-5 L85-99.

6. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising an overbased detergent in an amount to provide at least 3 mg KOH/g to the composition.

7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the aromatic amine selected from the group consisting of naphthalene-1,5-diamine and 5-amino-1-naphthol.

8. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the acylating agent is ethylhexyl acrylate.
