Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for marking a petroleum hydrocarbon or a liquid biologically derived fuel; said method comprising adding to said petroleum hydrocarbon or liquid biologically derived fuel at least one compound that is a R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R 8 —substituted dibenzofuran, wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R 8 independently are hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy, aryl or aryloxy; provided that R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R 8 collectively have at least two carbon atoms; wherein each compound having formula (I) is present at a level from 0.01 ppm to 20 ppm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for marking a petroleum hydrocarbon or a liquid biologically derived fuel; said method comprising adding to said petroleum hydrocarbon or liquid biologically derived fuel at least one compound of formula (I) wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R 8 independently are hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy, aryl or aryloxy; provided that R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R 8 collectively have at least two carbon atoms; wherein each compound having formula (I) is present at a level from 0.01 ppm to 20 ppm. 2. The method of claim 1 in which R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R 8 independently are hydrogen, C 1 -C 30 hydrocarbyl, C 1 -C 30 hydrocarbyloxy, C 6 -C 35 aryl or C 6 -C 35 aryloxy. 3. The method of claim 2 in which each compound having formula (I) is present at a level from 0.01 ppm to 10 ppm. 4. The method of claim 3 in which R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R 8 collectively have at least three carbon atoms. 5. The method of claim 4 in which at least one of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R 8 has at least three carbon atoms.
