Abstract
Epithio compounds or mercaptans of the formula I ##STR1## wherein X is an oxygen or sulfur atom, --CH.sub.2 --, --CH(R.sub.1)--, --COO--, --NH-- or --NR.sub.1 --, each of Y and Z is hydrogen or together they are a direct bond, Q is hydrogen if Y and Z together are a direct bond, or is --OH, --SH, --OR.sub.1, --SR.sub.1, --OOCR.sub.1, --S--CH.sub.2).sub.n OH, --S--CH.sub.2).sub.n COOR.sub.1, --NHR.sub.1 or --N(R.sub.1).sub.2, n is an integer from 1 to 10, each of R and R.sub.1 independently is a cyclic or acyclic hydrocarbon radical of aliphatic or aromatic character containing 4 to 30 carbon atoms which can be interrupted by oxygen or sulfur, with the proviso that the groups R and R.sub.1 contain a total number of 8 to 30 carbon atoms. These compounds have excellent suitability for use as additives for lubricants, especially as extreme pressure and antiwear additives.
