Abstract

A process for producing a lubricating oil dispersant additive comprises: step (1) reacting compound (A), wherein compound (A) is a hydrocarbyl-substituted or a substituted hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic acid or anhydride or ester thereof, with compound (B) of formula (I) EQU H.sub.2 N(CHR.sup.1 CHR.sup.2 O).sub.n CHR.sup.3 CHR.sup.4 NH.sub.2(I) wherein one of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is hydrogen and the other is hydrogen or a lower alkyl group and n is an integer from 1 to 10 and one of R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 is hydrogen and the other is hydrogen or a lower alkyl group, each of the --(CHR.sup.1 CHR.sup.2 O)-- units being independently defined, to give a product (C) and step (2) reacting product (C) with a diisocyanate (D) of formula (II) EQU OCN--R.sup.5 --NCO (II) wherein R.sup.5 is a divalent organic group. Novel succinimides have been prepared by the disclosed process, lubricating oil compositions comprise 1-20% w/w of the modified succinimides. The succinimides have dispersancy and VI improver properties.
