N-substituted succinimides, their preparation and use as motor fuel additives

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6714781
N-substituted succinimides are obtained by reacting in a first stage, maleic anhydride with an oxyalkylated or polyoxyalkylated monoalcohol of formula R/sup 1/-(-O-A-)- /SUB n/ OH wherein R/sup 1/ is an aliphatic radical having from 12 to 25 carbon atoms, A is an alkylene radical having 2 to 4 carbon atoms and n is an integer from 1 to 50, and by further reacting the reaction product of the first stage either with a monoprimary amine of formula R/sup 2/-(-X-Z-)- /SUB m/ NH/sub 2/ or a bi-primary amine of the formula H/sub 2/N-(-Z-NH-)- /SUB p/ H, wherein R/sup 2/ is an aliphatic radical having from 8 to 25 carbon atoms, Z is an alkylene radical having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, X is -NH- or -O-, m is an integer from 0 to 4 and p an integer from 2 to 6. The resultant succinimides are useful as anti-rust and detergent additives for motor fuels.
