BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Technical Field The present invention generally relates to dithiocarbamate derivatives and their use as multifunctional additives for lubricating oils and fuels. 2. Description of the Related Art Automobile spark ignition and diesel engines have valve train systems, including valves, cams and rocker arms which present special lubrication concerns. It is extremely important that the lubricant, i.e., the engine oil, protects these parts from wear. It is also important for engine oils to suppress the production of deposits in the engines. Such deposits are produced from non-combustibles and incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels (e.g., gasoline, diesel fuel oil) and by the deterioration of the engine oil employed. Accordingly, improving fuel economy is an important aspect of formulating an engine oil. Zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZDDPs) have been used as antifatigue, antiwear, antioxidant, extreme pressure and friction modifying additives for lubricating oils for many years. However, they are subject to several drawbacks owing to their zinc and phosphorus contents. The presence of zinc contributes to the emission of particulates in the exhaust. In addition, during operation of an internal combustion engine, lubricating oil enters the combustion chambers by means such as clinging to cylinder walls as the piston makes its down stroke. When phosphorus- containing lubricating oil compositions enter the combustion reaction, phosphorus enters the exhaust stream where it acts as a catalyst poison thus shortening the useful life of the catalytic converter. This is a major concern as effective catalytic converters are needed to reduce pollution and to meet governmental regulations designed to reduce toxic gases such as, for example, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, in internal combustion engine exhaust emissions. Such catalytic converters generally use a combination of catalytic metals, e.g., platinum or variations, and metal oxides, and are installed in the exhaust streams, e.g., the exhaust pipes of automobiles, to convert the toxic gases to nontoxic gases. As previously mentioned, these catalyst components are poisoned by the phosphorous, or the phosphorous decomposition product of the zinc dialkyldithiophosphate; and accordingly, the use of engine oils containing phosphorous additives may substantially reduce the life and effectiveness of catalytic converters. Therefore, it would be desirable to reduce the phosphorous content in the engine oils so as to maintain the activity and extend the life of the catalytic converter. There is also governmental and automotive industry pressure towards reducing the phosphorous content. For example, United States Military Standards MIL-L- 46152E and the ILSAC Standards defined by the Japanese and United States Automobile Industry Association at present require the phosphorous content of engine oils to be at or below 0.10 wt.% with future phosphorous content being proposed to even lower levels. Accordingly, it would be desirable to replace or at least decrease the amount of zinc dialkyldithiophosphate in lubricating oils still further, thus reducing catalyst deactivation and hence increasing the life and effectiveness of catalytic converters while also meeting future industry standard proposed phosphorous contents in the engine oil. However, simply decreasing the amount of zinc dialkyldithiophosphate presents problems because this may lower the antifatigue, antiwear, antioxidant, extreme pressure and friction modifying properties of the lubricating oil. Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to reduce the zinc and phosphorous content while still retaining antifatigue, antiwear, antioxidant, extreme pressure and friction modifying properties of the higher zinc and phosphorous content engine oils. It would therefore be desirable to develop additives for lubricating oils that can improve the antifatigue, antiwear, antioxidant, extreme pressure and friction modifying properties of the oil while reducing the content of phosphorous of the lubricating oils.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to dithiocarbamate derivative compounds which are useful as ashless anti-wear, antioxidant, friction reducing, and extreme pressure additives for lubricating oils.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Generally, the dithiocarbamate derivative compounds of the present invention can be obtained from a reaction product of (a) a di(hydrocarbyl)thiocarbamate intermediate; (b) an amide of the general formula R7CONH2 wherein R7 is an alkylene group having 2 to about 30 carbon atoms and (c) an effective amount of a carbonyl- containing compound. The reaction is advantageously conducted in the substantial absence of an acid neutralization agent, e.g., sodium hydroxide. Following the reaction, the compounds therein can be separated by conventional techniques, e.g., column chromatography. In general, the di(hydrocarbyl)thiocarbamate intermediate is prepared by first reacting a dihydrocarbylamine with an equimolar to slight molar excess of carbon disulfide to provide a di(hydrocarbyi)thiocarbamate intermediate. Useful dihydrocarbylamines are those in which hydrocarbyl groups are selected from among alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkaryl and aralkyl groups of 1 to about 60 carbon atoms. Preferred dihydrocarbylamine reactants are dialkylamines in which each alkyl group contains from about 2 to about 30, and more preferably from about 4 to about 24, carbon atoms. Next, the foregoing di(hydrocarbyl)thiocarbamate intermediate is reacted with an equimolar amount of an amide of the general formula R7CONH2 wherein R7 is an alkylene group having 2 to about 30 carbon atoms and preferably from 2 to about 12 carbon atoms to form a di(hydrocarbyl)thiocarbamyl amide intermediate. Preferably, the amide compound is acrylamide. The di(hydrocarbyl)thiocarbamyl amide intermediate is reacted with a carbonyl containing compound such as, for example, a dialdehyde, e.g., glyoxal, glutaraldehyde, and the like with glyoxal being preferred, to provide the dithiocabamate derivative compounds of this invention. Generally, the molar effective amount of the carbonyl containing compound can be varied so as to obtain the desired final product composition. The effective amount utilized can vary from about 0.1 to about 3 molar equivalents. Preferred dithiocarbamate derivative compounds of the present invention have the following general formula:

wherein R 5 R 5 R and R are each independently C1-C30 n-alkyl, C3-C30 branched alkyl, C3-C12 cycloalkyl, C5-C12 aryl, or C6-C12 alkylaryl, preferably each independently a straight-chained, branched or cyclic alkyl group of from about 2 to about 30 carbon atoms, more preferably, an alkyl group of from about 4 to about 24 carbon atoms; R3 are each independently C2 -C30 alkylene, preferably a divalent alkylene group of from about 2 to about 12 carbon atoms, more preferably a divalent alkylene group of from 2 to about 6 carbon atoms and R4 is C1-C20 alkylene, preferably a divalent alkylene group of from 1 to about 12 carbon atoms, more preferably a divalent alkylene group of from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms and substituted with a compound selected from the group consisting of

Other useful synthetic lubricating oils include, but are not limited to, oils made by polymerizing olefins of less than 5 carbon atoms such as ethylene, propylene, butylenes, isobutene, pentene, and mixtures thereof. Methods of preparing such polymer oils are well known to those skilled in the art. Additional useful synthetic hydrocarbon oils include liquid polymers of alpha olefins having the proper viscosity. Especially useful synthetic hydrocarbon oils are the hydrogenated liquid oligomers of C6 to C18 alpha olefins such as, for example, 1- decene trimer. Another class of useful synthetic lubricating oils include, but are not limited to, alkylene oxide polymers, i.e., homopolymers, interpolymers, and derivatives thereof where the terminal hydroxyl groups have been modified by, for example, esterification or etherification. These oils are exemplified by the oils prepared through polymerization of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, the alkyl and phenyl ethers of these polyoxyalkylene polymers (e.g., methyl polypropylene glycol ether having an average molecular weight of 1,000, diphenyl ether of polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 500-1000, diethyl ether of polypropylene glycol having a molecular weight of 1,000-1,500, etc.) or mono- and polycarboxylic esters thereof such as, for example, the acetic esters, mixed C3-C8 fatty acid esters, or the C13oxo acid diester of tetraethylene glycol. Yet another class of useful synthetic lubricating oils include, but are not limited to, the esters of dicarboxylic acids e.g., phthalic acid, succinic acid, alkyl succinic acids, alkenyl succinic acids, maleic acid, azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, linoleic acid dimer, malonic acids, alkyl malonic acids, alkenyl malonic acids, etc., with a variety of alcohols, e.g., butyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, dodecyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoether, propylene glycol, etc. Specific examples of these esters include dibutyl adipate, di(2-ethylhexyl)sebacate, di-n-hexyl fumarate, dioctyl sebacate, diisooctyl azelate, diisodecyl azelate, dioctyl phthalate, didecyl phthalate, dieicosyl sebacate, the 2-ethylhexyl diester of linoleic acid dimer, the complex ester formed by reacting one mole of sebacic acid with two moles of tetraethylene glycol and two moles of 2- ethylhexanoic acid and the like. Esters useful as synthetic oils also include, but are not limited to, those made from carboxylic acids having from about 5 to about 12 carbon atoms with alcohols, e.g., methanol, ethanol, etc., polyols and polyol ethers such as neopentyl glycol, trimethylol propane, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol, tripentaerythritol, and the like. Silicon-based oils such as, for example, polyalkyl-, polyaryl-, polyalkoxy- or polyaryloxy-siloxane oils and silicate oils, comprise another useful class of synthetic lubricating oils. Specific examples of these include, but are not limited to, tetraethyl silicate, tetra-isopropyl silicate, tetra-(2-ethylhexyl) silicate, tetra-(4-methyl- hexyl)silicate, tetra-(p-tert-butylphenyl)silicate, hexyl-(4-methyl-2- pentoxy)disiloxane, poly(methyl)siloxanes, poly(methylphenyl)siloxanes, and the like.

The lubricating oil may be derived from unrefined, refined and rerefmed oils, either natural, synthetic or mixtures of two or more of any of these of the type disclosed hereinabove. Unrefined oils are those obtained directly from a natural or synthetic source (e.g., coal, shale, or tar sands bitumen) without further purification or treatment. Examples of unrefined oils include, but are not limited to, a shale oil obtained directly from retorting operations, a petroleum oil obtained directly from distillation or an ester oil obtained directly from an esterification process, each of which is then used without further treatment. Refined oils are similar to the unrefined oils except they have been further treated in one or more purification steps to improve one or more properties. These purification techniques are known to those of skill in the art and include, for example, solvent extractions, secondary distillation, acid or base extraction, filtration, percolation, hydrotreating, dewaxing, etc. Rerefined oils are obtained by treating used oils in processes similar to those used to obtain refined oils. Such rerefined oils are also known as reclaimed or reprocessed oils and often are additionally processed by techniques directed to removal of spent additives and oil breakdown products. Lubricating oil base stocks derived from the hydroisomerization of wax may also be used, either alone or in combination with the aforesaid natural and/or synthetic base stocks. Such wax isomerate oil is produced by the hydroisomerization of natural or synthetic waxes or mixtures thereof over a hydroisomerization catalyst. Natural waxes are typically the slack waxes recovered by the solvent dewaxing of mineral oils; synthetic waxes are typically the wax produced by the Fischer-Tropsch process. The dithiocarbamate derivative compound additives of this invention are useful in lubricating oil compositions. They are multi-functional additives for lubricants and are utilized in a functional property-improving effective amount as well as an anti-wear improving effective amount, friction reducing effective amount and an antioxidant improving effective amount when added to engines operated with the oils, e.g., two-cycle engines, internal combustion engines such as, for example, gasoline (spark ignition) engines and diesel (compression ignition) engines with or without exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). The additives of the present invention can also be used in gas engines, or turbines, automatic transmission fluids, gear lubricants, metal- working lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and other lubricating oil and grease compositions. Generally, concentrations of from about 0.1 to about 10 weight percent, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition, can be used. Preferably, the concentration is from about 0.2 to about 2 weight percent, based on the total weight of the lubricating oil composition. If desired, the additives of this invention can be used in combination with other additives typically found in lubricating oils and such combinations may, in fact, provide synergistic effects toward improving desired properties, such as improved deposit control, anti-wear, frictional, antioxidant, low temperature, and like properties, to the lubricating oil. Examples of additives found in lubricating oils include, but are not limited to, dispersants, detergents, rust inhibitors, antioxidants, antiwear agents, antifoaming agents, friction modifiers, seal swell agents, demulsifiers, VI improvers, pour point depressants and the like and combinations thereof.

Useful friction modifiers for use in combination with the additives of the present invention include, but are not limited to, fatty acid esters and amides, organo molybdenum compounds, molybdenum dialkylthiocarbamates, molybdenum dialkyl dithiophosphates, and the like. Useful antifoaming agents include, but are not limited to, polysiloxane, and the like. An example of a rust inhibitor is polyoxyalkylene polyols, and the like. Useful VI improvers include, but are not limited to, olefin copolymers and dispersant olefin copolymers, and the like. An example of a pour point depressant is polymethacrylate, and the like. Lubricating oil concentrates are also contemplated herein. These concentrates usually include at least from about 90 wt. % to about 10 wt. % and preferably from about 90 wt. % to about 50 wt. %, of an oil of lubricating viscosity and from about 10 wt. % to about 90 wt. %, and preferably from about 10 wt. % to about 50 wt. %, of the additives of the present invention. Typically, the concentrates contain sufficient diluent to make them easy to handle during shipping and storage. Suitable diluents for the concentrates include any inert diluent, preferably an oil of lubricating viscosity, so that the concentrate may be readily mixed with lubricating oils to prepare lubricating oil compositions. The dithiocarbamate derivative compound additives of this invention are also useful in fuel compositions. Suitable fuels include any internal combustion engine hydrocarbon fuel, e.g., diesel, gasoline, kerosene, jet fuels, etc.; alcoholic fuels such as methanol or ethanol; or a mixture of any of the foregoing. When the fuel is diesel, such fuel generally boils above about 212°F. The diesel fuel can comprise atmospheric distillate or vacuum distillate, or a blend in any proportion of straight run and thermally and/or catalytically cracked distillates. When the fuel is gasoline, it can be derived from straight-chain naphtha, polymer gasoline, natural gasoline, catalytically cracked or thermally cracked hydrocarbons, catalytically reformed stocks, etc. It will be understood by one skilled in the art that gasoline fuels typically boil in the range of about 80° to about 450°F. and can contain straight chain or branched chain paraffins, cycloparaffins, olefins, aromatic hydrocarbons, and any mixture of these. Generally, the composition of the fuel is not critical and any fuel can be employed in the practice of this invention. The concentration of the foregoing dithiocarbamate derivative compound additives of the present invention in the fuel composition can vary widely depending upon a variety of factors including, for example, the type of fuel used, the presence of other additives, etc. Generally, the concentration will range from about 10 to about 10,000 parts per million and preferably from about 30 to about 5000 parts per million of the additive per part of fuel.
