AMIDOAMINE DERIVATIVES OF CARBOXYLIC AND THIOCARBOXYLIC-FUNCTIONALIZED HYDROCARBON POLYMERS

Abstract: Processes for preparing amidoamine products derived from hydrocarbon polymers containing carboxylic acid, thioacid, ester or thioester functional groups are disclosed. More particularly, a process is disclosed which comprises the steps of: (A) reacting (i) a hydrocarbon polymer functionalized to contain functional groups of formula -CO-Y-R<3>, the hydrocarbon polymer having a number average molecular weight of at least about 500 prior to functionalization, wherein Y is O or S, R<3> is hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, or substituted hydrocarbyl and wherein at least 50 mol% of the functional groups are attached to a tertiary carbon atom of the polymer, with (ii) a volatile amine containing at least two reactive amino groups under conditions effective to amidate at least a portion of the -CO-Y-R<3> functional groups and form a first amidoamine adduct containing at least one reactive amino group; and (B) reacting the first amidoamine adduct with an alpha , beta -unsaturated compound to form a second amidoamine adduct, wherein the alpha , beta -unsaturated compound has formula (I) wherein X is O or S; Z is OR<7>, -SR<7>, or -NR<7>(R<8>), and R<4>, R<5>, R<6>, R<7> and R<8> are the same or different and are hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, or substituted hydrocarbyl. In reaction step (B), the reactive amino groups in the first amidoamine adducts react non-selectively with both the carbon-carbon double bonds and the -C(=X)Z functional groups in the unsaturated compounds or, with suitable control of the reaction conditions, react selectively with the carbon-carbon double bonds only. In the case of selective reaction, the second amidoamine adduct is characterized by having unreacted -C(=X)Z functional groups, and the adduct can be further reacted with a second amine in order to amidate the -C(=X)Z functional groups. The amidoamine products are useful as additives in fuels and lubricating oils.

Description: AMIDOAMINE DERIVATIVES OF CARBOXYLIC AND THIOCARBOXYLIC-FUNCTIONALIZED HYDROCARBON POLYMERS FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to processes for preparing amidoamine products derived from functionalized hydrocarbon polymers and the products resulting from such processes. The amidoamine products are useful as additives (e.g., dispersants) in lubricating oils and in fuels. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION USSN 534,891. filed September 25, 1995, which is a continuation of USSN 992,403, filed December 17. 1992, abandoned, discloses the reaction of polymers having a number average molecular weight ("M α ") of at least 500 and having at least one ethylenic double bond via a Koch mechanism to form functionalized polymers containing (thio)carboxyiic acid or ester groups. USSN '891 discloses that the functionalized polymers can contain neo substituted acid or ester functional groups. USSN *891 further discloses derivatizing the functionalized polymers by reaction with an amidoamine adduct formed by the non-selective reaction of a polyamine such as tetraethylene pentamine with an α,β-unsaturated compound such as methyl methacryiate. Hydrocarbon polymers functionalized to contain a substantial proportion of neo substituted (thio)carboxyiic acid or ester groups (e.g., 50 mole% or more of neo -CO- YR3 functional groups) tend to be chemically stable and difficult to react with micieophilic compounds (e g., monoamines, poiyamines, polyhydric alcohols, and the like) in comparison to similar or analogous functionalized polymers having little or no neo functional group content (e.g., polyolefin substituted mono-and dicarboxylic acids such as polyisobutenyi succinic acids or anhydrides and polyisobutenyl propionic acids). This chemical stability is believed to be due at least in part to steric factors. More particularly, the reaction of hydrocarbon polymers containing neo carboxylic acid or ester groups with amidoamines prepared from poiyamines and cc,β-unsaturated compounds as disclosed in USSN '891 will typically not proceed or will proceed only slowly and with low yields at temperatures ranging up to about 150 to 180°C. In contrast, low neo content carboxylic acid- and ester- unctionalized polymers typically react to high yields at temperatures below 150°C (e.g., 80 to 150°C). Reacting the neo functionalized polymer and the amidoamines at temperatures above about 180°C - 2 - and particularly above 200°C (e g., 220 to 260°C) will accelerate the reaαion rate, but, because these amidoamines are normally not stable at these high temperatures, will also cause the amidoamine reactant and the amidoamine moiety in any resulting product to decompose with a loss of nitrogen and the formation of insoluble byproducts. The reaction of the functionalized polymer and the amidoamine is a second order reaction, so that an excess of amidoamine can be employed at lower reaction temperatures to achieve satisfactory conversion in reasonable reaction times. This results, however, in a product mixture containing unreacted amidoamine having unreacted amino groups within its structure, which represents a loss of valuable reactant and whose presence can be detrimental in certain applications such as dispersant applications involving contact with elastomer seals Separation of the unreacted amidoamine from the product can be difficult or expensive; e.g., these amidoamines can have low volatility making removal by distillation or stripping impractical. In summary, the direct reaction of neo-functionalized poivmer with amidoamines, such as those disclosed in USSN '891, is normally impractical, resulting in (i) little or no yield of the desired amidoamine functionalized polymer adduct and or (ii) a product mixture containing substantial amounts of wasted amidoamine reactant. .SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to processes for preparing amidoamine products derived f om hydrocarbon polymers containing carboxylic acid, thiocarboxylic acid, ester or thioester functional groups. More particularly, the invention includes a process for preparing a product useful as an additive in lubricating oils and in fuels comprising the steps of: (A) reacting (i) a hydrocarbon polymer functionalized to contain functional groups of formula -CO-Y-R 3 . the hydrocarbon polymer having a number average molecular weight of at least about 500 prior to functionalization, wherein Y is O or S, R3 is hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, or substituted hydrocarbyl and wherein at least 50 mole% of the functional groups are attached to " a tertiary carbon atom of the polymer, with (ii) a volatile amine containing at least two reactive amino groups under conditions effective to amidate at least a portion of the -CO-Y-R 3 funαional groups and form a first amidoamine adduct containing at least one reaαive amino group; and (B) reacting the first amidoamine adduct with an ct, -unsaturated compound to form a second amidoamine adduα, wherein the α,β-unsaturated compound has the formula. R5 R6 x R Λ4 _ C ! = C ! — C " — Z (I) wherein X is O or S; Z is OR 7 , -SR 7 , or -NR 7 (R 8 ); and R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R 8 are the same or different and are hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, or substituted hydrocarbyl. In one embodiment of the process of the invention, the volatile amine of step (A) is employed in an amount of at least 1 mole per equivalent of functional groups in the functionalized hydrocarbon polymer, and is more preferably employed in an excess molar amount. In another embodiment, the α,β-unsaturated compound in step (B) is employed under conditions effective to selectively reaα at least a portion of the carbon-carbon double bonds in the α.0 -unsaturated compound with the reactive amino groups in the first amidoamine adduct. such that the second amidoamine adduα is charaαerized by having unreaαed -C( » X)Z functional groups. In still another embodiment, the process of the invention further comprises the step of reaαing the second amidoamine adduα obtained by the selective reaction of the Gt-β-unsaturated compound with a second amine under conditions effective to amidate at least a portion of the -C( » X)Z functional groups in the second amidoamine adduα. Reaαing the relatively stable neo functionalized polymer with a volatile amine (i.e., reaαion step (A) above) solves the problem of low yields and/or produα decomposition characteristic of the direα reaction of neofunαionalized hydrocarbon polymers with amidoamines Relative to amidoamines such as those disclosed in USSN '891, the volatile amine typically possesses greater thermal stability; i.e., the volatile amine can react with neofunαionalized hydrocarbon polymers at more extreme reaαion temperatures (e.g., greater than about 180°C) to achieve significant conversions of the functionalized polymer without an accompanying loss of the amine reactant due to thermal decomposition. The amidated produα obtained from the volatile amine and the functionalized polymer is also stable at more extreme reaction temperatures and thus less subject to produα loss due to thermal decomposition, in comparison to products obtained by direα reaαion of the polymer with known amidoamines. In addition, the volatile amine can be used in a substantial excess in these second order reactions to obtain high conversions at reduced reaction times and thereby avoid prolonged exposure of the reactants and produαs to high temperatures. Alternatively, a substantial excess of the volatile amine can be employed to obtain high conversions at reduced reaction temperatures (e.g., less than about 180°C) in reasonable reaction times (e.g., 2 to 10 hours), and thereby avoid the possibility of U 97/05805 thermal decomposition altogether. Furthermore, at the conclusion of reaction step (A), any unreaαed volatile amine can be conveniently removed (e.g., by inert gas stripping or by distillation) to avoid interference of the amine with subsequent reaction and treatment steps, and can be recycled for use as a reactant. The amidoamine adduα resulting from step (A) can then be further reaαed in step (B) with an θ-,β-unsaturated compound to obtain good yields of a second amidoamine adduα (which, in the case of selective reaction in step (B). can optionally be further reaαed with a second amine), which is useful as an additive (e.g., a dispersant or detergent) in fuels and lubricating oils. The invention includes products of the above-described processes involving selective reaαion of the first amidoamine adduα with the α,β-unsaturated compound of formula (I). More particularly, the produα of the invention includes a produα comprising the second amidoamine adduα obtained by selective reaction of the first amidoamine adduct formed in reaction step (A) with the α,β-unsaturated compound of formula (I). In one embodiment, this produα comprises the second amidoamine adduα further reacted with a second amine such that at least a portion of the -C( m X)Z groups in the second amidoamine adduα are amidated. The foregoing aspects and other aspeαs of the invention are more fully described below. As used herein, the term "hydrocarbyl" refers to a radical having a carbon atom directly attached to the remainder of the molecule and consisting predominantly of carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms. Hydrocarbyl radicals include aliphatic hydrocarbyl groups (e.g., alkyl or alkenyl), alicyclic hydrocarbyl (e.g., cycloalkyl or cycloaikenyl), aromatic hydrocarbyl, aliphatic- and alicyclic-substituted aromatic, aromatic substituted aliphatic and alicyclic, and the like. The hydrocarbyl radical can contain non-hydrocarbon substituents (e.g., halo, hydroxy, alkoxy, rtc), but only to the extent they do not alter the predominantly hydrocarbon charaαer of the radical. Any hydrocarbyl radical containing aromatiς is broadly referred to herein as "aryl". The term "substituted hydrocarbyl" as used herein refers to a radical having a carbon atom direαly attached to the remainder of the molecule, wherein the charaαer of the radical is not predominantly hydrocarbon due to the presence of non- hydrocarbon substituents, such as those noted above in describing "hydrocarbyr. Any substituted hydrocarbyl radical containing aromatic is broadly referred to herein as "substituted aryl" The term "amidoamine" herein refers to a reaαion produα containing at least one amido linkage (i.e., -C(=O)-N< ) and at least one amino group (i.e., at least one primary, secondary or tertiary amino group). Unless otherwise stated or clear from the context, the term "amidoamine" is also used broadly to refer to a reaαion produα containing at least one thio-amidoaπune linkage ( (-C(=S)-N< ) and at least one amino group. PETAΠJED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Fuπqipnalized polymer The functionalized hydrocarbon polymer employed in the present invention is a hydrocarbon polymer in which functionalization is by attachment of groups of formula: O II — C — Y — R3 (II) wherein Y is O or S. and R 3 is H, hydrocarbyl, or substituted hydrocarbyl and at least 50 mole% of the functional groups are attached to a tertiary carbon atom of the polymer (i.e., at least SO mole% of the functional groups are "neo" groups). R-* is preferably aryl or substituted hydrocarbyl, and more preferably aryl or substituted aryl. Thus the functionalized polymer may be depiαed by the formula: wherein POLY is a backbone derived from a hydrocarbon polymer having a number average molecular weight of at least 500; n is a number greater than 0; R 1 and R 2 are independently the same or different and are each H, hydrocarbyl, or polymeric hydrocarbyl with the proviso that R 1 and R 2 are seleαed such that in at least 50 mole of the -CR 1 R 2 - groups both R J' τand R 2 are not H (i.e., at least 50 mole% of the -CO-Y-R^ groups are "neo" groups); and R-* is as defined in the preceding paragraph. The term "polymeric hydrocarbyl" refers to a radical derived from the hydrocarbon polymer which can contain non-hydrocarbon substituents provided the radical is predominantly hydrocarbon in charaαer. The subscπpt n in Formula (III) represents the funαionality of the funαionalized hydrocarbon polymer, i.e., n is the average number of funαional groups per polymer chain Alternatively expressed, n is the average number of moles of - 6 - functional groups per "mole of polymer", wherein "mole of polymer" refers to the moles of starting hydrocarbon polymer used in the funαionalization reaαion and therefore includes both functionalized and unfunctionalized polymer. Accordingly, the functionalized hydrocarbon polymer produα can include molecules having no functional groups, n can be determined by carbon-13 NMR. Specific preferred embodiments of n include I n > 0, 2 > n >l; and n>2. The optimum number of functional groups needed for desired performance of the amidoamine products of the invention will typically increase with polymer M n . For functionalized hydrocarbon polymer prepared using Koch chemistry as described below, the maximum value of n will be determined by the average number of double bonds per polymer chain in the polymer prior to functionalization. As described below the «YR^ group in formulas (II) and (UI) has a corresponding acidic species KYR- which can be employed as a trapping agent in a Koch reaction for preparing the functionalized hydrocarbon polymer. The -YR-* moiety is also a "leaving * group in the amidation of the functionalized hydrocarbon polymer with a volatile amine. thereby forming HYR- as a byproduα. In a preferred embodiment, -YR 3 has a pK a of less than or equal to about 12, preferably less than about 10, and more preferably less than about 8. The pK a is dttermined from the corresponding acidic species HYR? in water at 25°C. This embodiment has been found to be more reactive towards amidation. The funαionalized hydrocarbon polymers are predominately "neo" funαionalized polymers The functionalized polymer has at least 50, preferably at least 60, and more preferablv at least 80 mole percent neo functional groups. The polymer can have at least 90 mole percent neo functional groups, and can have 99 and even 100 mole percent neo groups The content of neo functional groups in the funαionalized polymer can be determined using carbon- 13 NMR The neo funαionalized polymers are generally more stable and less reactive (e.g., with nucleophilic compounds such as monoamines, poiyamines, monoalcohols, polyols, and so forth) than similar polymers with little or no neo content; e.g., polymers containing a high content of iso funαional groups. In one embodiment of the funαionalized polymer defined by formula (HI), Y is O (oxygen), and R l and R 2 are the same or different and are selected from H, a hydrocarbyl group, and a polymeric hydrocarbyl group. In another embodiment Y is O or S; R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are seleαed from H, a hydrocarbyl group, a substituted hydrocarbyl group and a polymeric hydrocarbyl group; and R^ is seleαed from an aromatic group (i.e., an aryl group) and a substituted hydrocarbyl group, or from an aryl group and a substituted aromatic group (i.e., a substituted aryl group). This embodiment is generally more reaαive towards derivatization with amines of the present invention especially where the R3 substituent contains electron withdrawing species. A preferred leaving group, - YR3, for this embodiment has a corresponding acidic species HYR-* with a pKa of less than 12, preferably less than 10 and more preferably 8 or less. pKa values can range typically from 5 to 12, preferably from 6 to 10, and most preferably from 6 to 8. The pKa of the leaving group determines how readily the funαionalized hydrocarbon polymer will reaα to produce amidoamine derivatives. In one preferred embodiment, Y is O, and R^ has the formula: wherein X, each of which are the same or different, is an electron withdrawing group; T, each of which are the same or different, is a non-electron withdrawing group (e.g., eleαron donating), m and p are integers from 0 to 5. Preferably, m is from 1 to 5, and more preferably 1 to 3 Preferably, p is from 0 to 2, and more preferably 0 to I . X is preferably selected from a halogen (especially F or Cl), CF3, CN, and NO2 T is preferably seleαed from alkyl, especially C^ to C alkyl, and most especially methyl or ethyl. Among the suitable R 3 groups represented by formula (IV) are halophenyls, such as chlorophenyl, fluorophenyl, difluorophenyl, dichlorophenyl, and alkylchlorophenyl (e.g., methylchlorophenyl), and the like. 2,4-Dichlorophenyl and 2- chloro-4-mαhylphenyl are preferred, and 2-chloro-4-methylphenyl is most preferred. Accordingly, substituted aryl ester funαional groups are difluorophenyl ester, dichlorophenyl ester, and methylchlorophenyl ester. 2,4-dichloropheπyl ester and 2- chloro-4-methylphenyi ester are preferred aryl ester funαional groups. In another preferred embodiment, Y is O and R 3 is a substituted hydrocarbyl group which is a substituted al yl group having 2 to 8 (preferably 2 to 4) carbon atoms and containing at least one (preferably at least two) eleαron withdrawing substituent groups. The electron withdrawing substituent groups are preferably halogen, more preferably F or Cl or combinations thereof, and most preferably F. Other eleαron withdrawing substituent groups, such as NO2 or CN, are also suitable, both independently and in combination with halogen groups and/or with each other. The substituted alkyl group can contain eleαron withdrawing substituent groups on any one of the carbon atoms of the alkyl group, or all of the carbon atoms, or any combination thereof, provided that the corresponding alcohol H-O-R-* is chemically stable under the conditions employed in preparing the amidoamine produαs of the invention, as described below The substituted alk> i groups are conveniently haloalkyl groups (which includes, for example, C2 to Cg rnonohalo- and polyhaloaikyl groups), especially polyhaloalkyl groups (e.g., polychloroaikyl and polyfluoroalkyl groups), and most especially polyfluoroalkyl groups (e g., C to Cg polyfluoroalkyl groups). Preferred polyhaloalkyl groups are those having at least one, and preferably more than one, halogen substituent on the beta carbon atom (or atoms) in the alkyl group. Suitable polyhaloalkyl groups include, but are not limited to 2,2-difluoroethyl; 2,2,2- trifluoroethyl; 2,2-dichlorocthyi, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl; 1,1,1-trifluoroisopropyl; 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluorotsopropyl (alternatively referred to herein simply as hexafluoroisopropyi), 2.2.3.3,3-pentafluoropropyl; 2- methylhexafluoro-2-propyl and 2-trifluoromethylhexafluoro-2-propyl. A particularly suitable polyhaloalkyl group is hexafluoroisopropyi. Accordingly, a particularly suitable polyhaloalkyl ester functional group is hexafluoroisopropyi ester. The funαionalized hydrocarbon polymers can be prepared using the Koch reaαion. In the Koch process, a hydrocarbon polymer containing at least one carbon- carbon double bond is selectively functionalized at at least a ponion of the double bond sites by contacting the polvmer with carbon monoxide and a Koch catalyst, which is preferably a classical Broensted acid or a Lewis acid catalyst. The Koch reaαion is conducted in a manner and under conditions such that an acylium cation is formed at the site of a carbon-carbon double bond wherein the acylium ion is in turn reaαed with a nucleophihc trapping agent seleαed from the group consisting of water, H2S, or at least one hydroxy or thiol containing compound, wherein water forms a carboxylic acid, H2S forms a thiocarboxylic acid (i.e., -C( =ι O)SH), a hydroxy-containing compound forms a carboxylic ester, and a thiol-containing compound forms a thio¬ carboxylic ester. The trapping agent has the formula HYR^ wherein Y and * are as defined above. Preferred trapping agents correspond to the acidic species HYR^ of the preferred -YR 3 groups as described above. In the Koch process, (thio)carboxylic acid or (thio)carboxylic ester can be formed at moderate temperatures and pressures at the point of unsaturation of the hydrocarbon polymer The polymer is maintained in a desired temperature range which is typically between -20 to 200°C and preferably from 0 to 80°C. The pressure in the reaαor can be maintained based on the CO source, with pressures up to 34,500 pKa (5,000 psig) with a preferred range of from 3,450 to 20,700 pKa (500 to 3,000 psig)- The relative amounts of react ants and catalyst and the reaαion conditions are controlled in a manner sufficient to functionalize typically at least about 40, preferably at least 80, more preferably at least 90, and most preferably at least 95 mole% of the carbon-carbon double bonds present in the starting polymer. The catalyst preferably has a Ham et Scale Value acidity (H Q ) of less than -7, more preferably from -8.0 to - U .5, in order to be sufficiently aαive, particularly to form neo structures. Useful catalysts include H2SO4, BF3, and HF. The trapping agent is preferably added in combination with the catalyst as a catalyst complex. Suitable catalyst complexes include the complexes of BF3 with HYR^ wherein Y is O and R 3 has formula (IV), such as BF3 complexes with 2,4-dichlorophenol and 2- chloro-4-methylphenoi The Koch process useful for preparing the funαionalized hydrocarbon polymer employed in the present invention is further described in CA-A-2110871. Especially suitable for preparing the functionalized hydrocarbon polymer employed in the present invention are the batch Koch carbonylation process described in WO-A-95/35324 and the continuous carbonylation process described in WO-A-95/35325. In the Koch process, a neo functional group (i.e., an acyl funαional group attached to a tertiary carbon atom of the polymer) will generally result from an ethylenic double bond in which one of the carbon atoms of the double bond is fully substituted with hydrocarbyl groups. An iso funαional group (i.e., the acyl funαional group is attached to a secondary carbon atom of the polymer) will generally result from an ethylenic bond in which each carbon in the double bond has one hydrogen substituent. Thus, terminal vinylidene groups (defined below) in the polymer chain result in neo funαional groups, and terminal vinyl will result in iso functional groups. As noted earlier, the functionalized hydrocarbon polymer reaαant used in the present invention has at least about 50 mole% neo funαional groups. Referring to formula (III), the funαional group is represented by the parenthetical expression — (CRlR 2 -CO-YR3), which expression contains the acyl group -CO-YR 3 It will be understood that the -CR 1 R 2 moiety is not added to the polymer by the Koch reaction. Strictly speaking, it is the acyl group alone which constitutes the f nαional group, since it is the group added via the Koch reaαion. Moreover, R* and R 2 represent groups originally present on, or constituting part oξ the two carbons bridging the double bond before funαionalization. However, R* and - 10 - R 2 were included within the parenthetical so that neo acyl groups could be differentiated from iso acvl aroups in the formula depending on the identity of R 1 and R 2 . Not all of the starting hydrocarbon polymer is necessarily functionalized in the Koch process. The weight fraction of funαionalized hydrocarbon polymer based on the total weight of both functionalized and unfunαionalized polymer may be any value greater than zero, up to and including 1, and is typically at least about 0.50, preferably from about 0.65 to 99, and more preferably from about 0.75 to 0.99. The unfunctionalized hydrocarbon polymer is generally not removed from the composition before or after the amidation of the funαionalized polymer, because it is generally difficult and/or uneconomical in praαice to effeα such a separation. The polymers which are useful for runαionalization by the Koch process are hydrocarbon polymers containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond (olefinic or αhylenic) unsaturation. wherein the maximum number of funαional groups per polymer chain is limited by the number of double bonds per chain. Useful polymers in the present invention include polyalkenes including homopolymers, copolymers (used interchangeably with interpolymers) and mixtures thereof. Homopolymers and copolymers include those derived from poiymerizable oiefin monomers of 2 to about 28 carbon atoms; more typically 2 to about 6 carbon atoms. Suitable polymers include the α-olefin polymers made using organo metallic coordination compounds A preferred class of polymers are ethylene α-olefin copolymers such as those disclosed in US-A-5017299. The polymer unsaturation can be terminal, internal or both Preferred polymers have terminal unsaturation, preferably a high degree of terminal unsaturation Terminal unsaturation is the unsaturation provided by the last monomer unit located in the polymer. The unsaturation can be located anywhere in this terminal monomer unit. Terminal olefinic groups include vinylidene unsaturation (also referred to in the art as ethenylidene unsaturation), R a R°C=CH2, trisubstituted oiefin unsaturation, R^C ^R^; vinyl unsaturation, R a HC=CH2, 1 ,2-disubstitύted terminal unsaturation, R a HC=CHR^; and tetra-substituted terminal unsaturation, R^C^ C R 0 . At least one of R a and R° is a polymeric hydrocarbyl group of the present invention, and the remaining R*\ R c and d are hydrocarbyl groups as defined with respeα to R* , R 2 , and R^ above. Low molecular weight polymers, also referred to herein as dispersant range molecular weight polymers, are polymers having M n of from about 500 to 20,000 (e.g., about 700 to 20,000 and about 1,000 to 20,000), preferably about 700 to 15,000 (e.g., about 1,000 to 15,000), more preferably about 1,000 to 10,000 (e.g., about 1,500 to 10,000 and about 2,000 to 8,000), and most preferably from about 700 to 5,000 (e.g., about 1 ,000 to ,000) The number average molecular weights can be dαermined by vapor phase osmometry or by gel permeation chromatography ("GPC"). Low molecular weight polymers are useful in forming dispersants for lubricant additives. Medium molecular weight polymers have M n 's ranging from about 20,000 to 200,000, preferably from about 25,000 to 100,000, and more preferably from about 25,000 to 80,000, and are useful, for example, as viscosity index improvers in lubricating oil compositions The medium n can be determined by membrane osmometry. The values of the ratio M y/M n , referred to as molecular weight distribution ("MWD"), are not critical However, a minimum value of about 1.1 to 2.0 is preferred, and a typical range is about 1.1 to 4. The oiefin monomers are preferably polymerizable terminal olefins; that is, olefins charaαerized by the presence in their structure of the group -CR=CH2, where R is H or a hydrocarbon group. However, polymerizable internal oiefin monomers can also be used to form the polyalkenes. When internal oiefin monomers are employed, they normally will be employed with terminal olefins to produce polyalkenes which are interpolymers. A particular polymerized oiefin monomer which can be classified as both a terminal oiefin and an internal oiefin is deemed herein to be a terminal oiefin. Thus, pentadiene- 1 ,3 (i e., piperyiene) is a terminal oiefin. As the term is used herein, "hydrocarbon polymer" includes polymers (e.g., polyalkenes) which contain non-hydrocarbon substituents, such as lower alkoxy (lower = 1 to 7 carbon atoms), lower alkyl mercapto, hydroxy, mercapto, and carbonyl, wherein the non-hydrocarbon moieties do not substantially interfere with the functionalization of the polymer and the subsequent derivatization reaαions of this invention. Such substituents typically contribute not more than about 10 wt.% of the total weight of the hydrocarbon polymer (e.g., polyalkene). The polyalkenes can include aromatic groups and cycloaliphatic groups such as would be obtained from polymerizable cyclic olefins or cycloaliphatic substituted- polymerizable acrylic olefins, but polyalkenes free from aromatic and cycloaliphatic groups are generally preferred. Polyalkenes derived from homopolymers and interpolymers of terminal hydrocarbon olefins of 2 to about 28 carbon atoms are also preferred. This preference is qualified by the proviso that, while interpolymers of terminal olefins are usually preferred, interpolymers optionally containing up to about 40% of polymer units derived from internal olefins of up to about 28 carbon atoms are - 12 - also within a preferred group A more preferred class of polyalkenes are those seleαed from the group consisting of homopolymers and interpolymers of terminal olefins of 2 to 6 carbon atoms, more preferably 2 to 4 carbon atoms. Another preferred class of polyalkenes are the latter, more preferred polyalkenes optionally containing up to about 25% of polymer units derived from internal olefins of up to about 6 carbon atoms. Specific examples of terminal and internal oiefin monomers which can be used to prepare the polyalkenes according to conventional, well-known polymerization techniques include ethylene. propylene, butene-1, butene-2, isobutene, pentene-1, and the like; propylene-tetramer. diisobutylene, isobutylene trimer, butadiene- 1,2, butadiene- 1,3, pentadiene-1.2. pentadiene-1,3, and the like. Specific examples of polyalkenes include polypropylenes, isobutene homopolymers (i.e., poiyisobutylenes), copolymers of isobutene with butene-l and/or butene-2 (i.e., polybutenes), ethylene- propylene copolymers. ethylene-butene copolymers, propylene-butene copolymers, styrene-isobutene copolymers, isobutene-butadiene-1,3 copolymers, and the like, and terpolymers of isobutene. styrene and piperylene, and copolymer of 80 mole% of ethylene and 20 mole% of propylene. A useful source of polyalkenes are the polybutenes obtained by polymerization of C4 refinery streams having a butene content of about 35 to 75% by weight, and an isobutene content of about 30 to 60% by weight, in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst such as aluminum trichloride or boron trifluoride. Also useful are the high molecular weight poiy-n-butenes described in WO- -94/ 13714 A preferred source of monomer for making poly-n-butenes is petroleum feed streams such as Raffinate II. These feedstocks are disclosed in the art such as in US-A-4952739 Preferred polymers are ethylene α-olefin copolymers; i.e., polymers of ethylene and at least one α-olefin of formula H2C=CHR C wherein R e is straight chain or branched chain alkyl radical comprising 1 to 18 carbon atoms, and especially preferred are the foregoing ethylene α-olefin copolymers wherein the polymer contains a high degree of terminal vinylidene unsaturation. Preferably R e in the above formula is an alkyl of from 1 to 8 carbon atoms and more preferably is an alkyl of from 1 to 2 carbon atoms. Therefore, useful comonomers with ethylene in this invention include propylene, butene- l , hexene-1 , oαene-1, and so forth, and mixtures thereof (e.g. mixtures of propylene and butene-l, and the like). Preferred polymers are copolymers of ethylene and propylene, of ethylene and butene-l; and of ethylene, propylene, and butene-l . The polymers can optionally contain units derived from a non-conjugated diene such as dicyclopemadiene. 1 ,4-hexadiene, and ethylidene norbornene, as well as other such dienes as are well known in the art. The molar ethylene content of the polymers employed is preferably in the range of between about 20 and 80%, and more preferably between about 30 and 70%. When butene-l is employed as co onomer with ethylene, the ethylene content of such copolymer is most preferably between about 20 and 45 wt %, although higher or lower ethylene contents may be present. The most preferred ethylene-butene-1 copolymers are disclosed in USSN 992, 192, filed December 17, 1992, and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety The preferred method for making low molecular weight ethylene α-olefin copolymer is described in USSN 992,690, filed December 17, 1992, herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. Preferred ranges of number average molecular weights of ethylene α-olefin polymer for use as precursors for dispersants are from about 500 to 10,000; preferably from about 1,000 to 8,000 (e.g. from about 1,500 to 5,000); most preferably from about 2,500 to 6,000 A convenient method for such determination is GPC which additionally provides molecular weight distribution information. Such polymers generally possess an intrinsic viscosity (as measured in tetralin at 135°C) of between 0.025 and 0.6 dl/g, preferably between 0.05 and 0.5 dl/g, most preferably between 0.075 and 0.4 dl/g. The prefeπed ethylene α-olefin polymers are further charaαerized in that up to about 95% and more of the polymer chains possess terminal vinylidene-type unsaturation. Thus, one end of such polymers will be of the formula alkyl, preferably Cj to Cg alkyl, and more preferably methyl or ethyl and wherein POLY represents the polymer chain. A minor amount of the polymer chains can contain terminal ethenyi unsaturation, i.e. POLY- CH=CH2, and a portion of the polymers can contain internal monounsaturation, e.g. POLY-CH^HfR*), wherein R f is as defined above. The preferred ethylene α-olefin polymer comprises polymer chains, at least about 30% of which possess terminal vinylidene unsaturation. Preferably at least about 50%, more preferably at least about 60%, and most preferably at least about 75% (e.g. 75 to 98%), of such polymer chains exhibit terminal vinylidene unsaturation. The percentage of polymer chains exhibiting terminal vinylidene unsaturation may be determined by FTIR spectroscopic analysis, titration, proton NMR, or C-13 NMR. Another preferred class of polymers are α-olefin polymers; i.e., α-oiefm homopolymers of an α-olefin of formula H2C=CHR e and α-olefin copolymers of at least two alpha-olefins of formula H2C=CHR e wherein R e is as defined above. The preferred alpha-oiefin monomers are butene-l and propylene and preferred alpha-olefin polymers are polypropylene, polybutene-1 and butene-l -propylene copolymer (e.g., butene-l -propylene copoivmers having 5 to 40 mole% propylene). Preferred alpha- olefin polymers compnse polymer chains possessing high terminal unsaturation; i.e., at least about 30%, preferably at least about 50%, more preferably at least about 60%, and most preferably at least about 75% (e.g., 75 to 98%) of the chains have terminal vinylidene unsaturation The polymers can be prepared by polymerizing monomer mixtures comprising the corresponding monomers (e.g., ethylene with other monomers such as alpha- olefins, preferably from 3 to 4 carbon atoms) in the presence of a metallocene catalyst system comprising at least one metallocene (e.g., a cyclopentadienyl-transition metal compound) and an activator, e.g. alumoxane compound. The comonomer content can be controlled through selection of the metallocene catalyst component and by controlling the relative amounts of the monomers. Illustrative of the processes which may be employed to make the polymers are those described in US-A-4668834, US-A- 4704491, EP-A-128046, EP-A-129368, and WO-A-87/03887. The polymer for use in the present invention can include block and tapered copolymers derived from monomers comprising at least one conjugated diene with at least monovinyl aromatic monomer, preferably styrene. Such polymers should not be completely hydrogenated so that the polymeric composition contains olefinic double bonds, preferably at least one bond per molecule. The present invention can also include star polymers as disclosed in patents such as U.S. Patent Nos. US-A-5070131; US-A-4108945, US-A-371 1406; and US-A-5049294. Amidoamine Derivatives of Functionalized Polvmer The process of the invention comprises the steps of (A) reaαing the funαionalized hydrocarbon polymer with a volatile amine to amidate at least some of the -CO-Y-R^ functional groups and form a first amidoamine adduα containing at least one reactive amino group, then (B) reaαing the first amidoamine adduct with an α,β-unsaturated compound offormula (I) to form a second amidoamine adduα. In the reaαion between the first amidoamine adduα and the α,β-unsaturated compound, the reaαive amino groups in the adducts can reaα non-selectively with both the carbon- carbon double bonds and the -C(=X)Z funαional groups in the unsaturated compounds. Alternatively, with suitable control of the reaαion conditions as described below, the first amidoamine adduct can reatt selectively with the carbon-carbon double bonds only. In the case of selective reaction, the second amidoamine adduα is charaαerized by having unreacted -C(=X)Z functional groups. In a preferred embodiment of the process, this adduα is further reaαed with a second amine in order to amidate the -C(=X)Z functional groups. Reaction Step (AV The volatile amine employed in reaction step (A) can be any amine having at least two reactive amino groups (or a mixture of such amines), which amine is sufficiently volatile relative to the amidoamine adduα to be seleαively removed from the produα mixture resulting from step (A) by such methods as stripping with an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen) with or without a partial vacuum and or by distillation with or without a partial vacuum. As used herein, a reaαive amino group can be a primary amino group (-NH2) or a secondary amino group (-NH-). The volatile amine preferably contains at least one primary amino group and more preferably at least two primary amino groups. The volatile amine is typically an amine containing from 2 to about 6 nitrogen atoms and from 2 to about 10 carbon atoms per molecule, or is a mixture of such amines. The amine may contain funαional groups other than amino groups (e.g., hydroxy), but is preferably an aliphatic or alicyclic hydrocarbyl amine. Suitable volatile amines include 1,3-diaminopropane (alternatively referred to as propylenediamine), 1 ,2-diaminopropane, 1,4-diaminobutane, hexamethylene diamine, decamethylenediamine, and 1,4-diaminocyclohexane. Suitable volatile amines also include the N2 to N 0 ethylene poiyamines, such as ethylene diamine, diethylene triamine, triethylene tetramine, tris-(2-aminoethyl) amine, bis-(2-aminoethyl) piperazine, tetraethylene pentamine, pentaethylene hexamine, piperazine and aminoethyipiperazine. Mixtures of the N2 to N5 ethylene poiyamines can also be used. Ethylene polyamine mixtures are prepared commercially by the reaαion of ethylene dichloride with ammonia. The resulting mixtures are often complex, containing linear, branched, and cyclic ethylene poiyamines. Such mixtures, or distillation cuts of such mixtures, containing no or substantially no components higher than hexamines, may be employed as the volatile amine. For example, mixtures of linear, branched, and cyclic isomers of triethylene tetramine available commercially from Dow Chemical and Union Carbide are suitable for use as the volatile amine. The reaction of the volatile amine with the functionalized hydrocarbon polymer is typically carried out at atmospheric or elevated pressure at a temperature in the range of from about 100 to 240°C, preferably from about 140 to 220°C, and more preferably from about 180 to 220°C (e.g., 190 to 210°C). The reaαion time will vary depending upon the reaction temperature employed, the content of fύnαionai groups in the funαionalized polymers, the amount of volatile amine employed, the degree of conversion desired and so forth, but typically is in the range of from about 0.5 to 24 hours and more typically from about 2 to 12 hours (e.g., 2 to 10 hours). While the volatile amine may be used in any amount sufficient under the reaαion time and conditions employed to provide at least some amidoamine adduα containing at least one reactive amino group, it is typically employed in an amount of volatile amine sufficient to convert at least about 50 mole% (e.g., 50 to 90 mole%), preferably at least about 80 mole% (e.g., 80 to 95 mole%), more preferably at least about 90 mole% (e.g , 90 to 98 mole%), and most preferably substantially all (i.e., 97 to 100 mole%) of the functionalized hydrocarbon polymer to the desired amidoamine adduα. The substantial conversion of the funαionalized hydrocarbon polymer maximizes the incorporation of nitrogen into the amidoamine reaction product, which is advantageous, because it will lead to a higher nitrogen content in the final produα. A high nitrogen content is typically desirable in dispersant and dαergent applications. The substantial to complete conversion of the polymer also minimizes or eliminates the presence of unconverted -CO-YR^ functional groups in the reaction produα which may be undesirable in certain circumstances. For example, the presence in the produα of -CO-YR 3 groups in which R 3 is a halogen-containing group of Formula (TV) such as halophenyl (e.g., 2- or 4-chlorophenol), dihalophenyl (2,4- dichlorophenyl), and haloaikyl-phenyl (2-chloro-4-methylphenyl) or in which R^ is a polyhaloalkyl group as heretofore described can ultimately lead to residual halogen (chlorine) in the final product The presence of such residual halogen can make the produα undesirable in additive applications because of environmental concerns. Accordingly, the \ olatile amine is typically employed in an amount of at least 1 mole per equivalent of functional groups in the fiinαionalized hydrocarbon polymer, and is preferably employed in an excess amount; i.e., the amount of volatile amine employed in the reaction is preferably more than one mole (e.g., 1.1 to 10 moles) and more preferably at least about two moles (e.g., 2 to 5 moles) per equivalent of functional groups in the functionalized hydrocarbon polymer. The degree of conversion of the -CO-Y-R^ acyl groups to amide groups can be monitored during the reaction by tracking the disappearance of the acyl group absorption band in the carbonyl region of the infrared spectrum and/or by the appearance of the amide band. Solvents (which term as used herein also refers to diluents) which are inert to the reactants and to the resulting amidoamine adduct may be employed to promote heat and mass transfer during the reaαion and to facilitate treating and handling of the post-reaαion mixture. Suitable solvents include light hydrocarbons such as the C5 to C10 alkanes (e.g., pemanes, hexanes, and the like) and aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylenes, and the like. The use of such solvents is not preferred, however, in order to avoid solvent removal in a post-reaction step. Mineral lubricating oils or other inert lubricating base oils can also be employed as solvents and have the advantage of typically not requiring separation or removal from the amidoamine adduα produα (which separation can be difficult to achieve in practice due to its relative non- volatility), when the adduα is subsequently used as an intermediate to prepare a final produα to be employed as a lubricating oil additive in the same or a compatible base oil. Unreaαed volatile amine, HYR 3 compound formed during the amidation of the functionalized hydrocarbon polymer, plus any other volatile reaction byproducts or other components (e.g., volatile solvent) are typically removed from the reaction produα mixture in order to minimize their interference with reaαion step (B), such as by the reaαion of the volatile amine and/or HYR^ with the α,β-unsaturated compound. The removal can be effeαed by distillation or by inert gas stripping with or without a partial vacuum. If the HYR 3 compound has a substantially higher volatility than the volatile amine and the solvent (if employed) under the seleαed reaαion conditions, it can, as an alternative, be selectively removed (e.g., by distillation or stripping) during the amidation reaαion. In summary, the reaction mixture of reaction step (B) comprising the amidoamine adduα and the α,β-unsaturated compound is preferably substantially free of unreaαed volatile amine and HYR 3 leaving group compound; e.g., the mixture contains less than about 1 wt. % and more preferably less than about 0.1 wt. % of each of unreaαed volatile amine and HYR 3 . Reaαion Step (&) The amidoamine adduα resulting from reaαion step (A) is then reaαed with an α,β -unsaturated compound offormula: R 5 R6 X R 4 — C = C — C — Z (I) wherein X is sulfur or oxygen; Z is —OR 7 , — SR 7 , or — NR 7 (R8), and R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 and R** are the same or different and are hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, substituted hydrocarbyl, or heterocyciic. When R 4 , R5, R 6 , R 7 and R^ are hydrocarbyl, these groups can comprise alkyl, cycloalkyl, or aryl. The substituted hydrocarbyl groups can be substituted with groups which are substantially inert to any component of the reaction mixture under - 18 - conditions selected for reaction step (B). Such substituent groups include hydroxy, halide (e.g., Cl, Fl, I, Br). — SH and alkylthio. When one or more of R 4 through R 8 are alkyl, such alkyl groups can be straight or branched chain, and will generally contain from 1 to 20, more typically from 1 to 10, and especially from 1 to 4, carbon atoms. Illustrative of such alk l groups are methyl, ethyl, propyL butyl, pentyl, hexyL heptyl, octyl, nonyl, dec l. dodecyi, tridecyl, hexadecyL octadecyl and the like. When one or more of R 4 through R 8 are aryl, the aryl group can be unsubstituted aromatic which will generally contain from 6 to 10 carbon atoms (e.g., phenyl, naphthyl). The aryl group can also be an alkyl substituted aromatic which will generally contain from about 7 to 20 carbon atoms, and more typically from 7 to 12 carbon atoms. Illustrative of such groups are tolyl, m-ethylphenyl, o-ethyltolyL and m- hexyltoiyl. The aryl group can also be aromatic-substituted alkyl, wherein the aromatic will generally consist of phenvl or C) to C5 alkyl-substituted phenyl and the alkyl component generally contains from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and preferably from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Examples of such groups are benzyl, o-ethylbenzyl, and 4- isobutylbenzyl. ~ When one or more of R 4 to R 8 are cycloalkyl, the cycloalkyl group will generally contain from 3 to 12 carbon atoms, and more typically from 3 to 6 carbon atoms. Illustrative of such cycloalkyl groups are cyclopropyL cyclobutyl, cyclohexyL cyclooctyi, and cyclododecyl When one or more of R 4 through R 8 are heterocyclic, the heterocyclic group generally consists of a compound having at least one ring of 6 to 12 members in which one or more ring carbon atoms is replaced by oxygen or nitrogen. Examples of such heterocyclic groups are furyl, pyranyl, pyridyl, piperidyl, dioxanyl, tetrahydrofuryl. pyrazinyl and 1,4-oxazinyl.

Preferred compounds for reaction with the amidoamine adduα formed in reaαion step (A) are lower alkyl esters of acrylic and lower alkyl substituted acrylic add. Illustrative of such preferred compounds are compounds of the formula: R 9 0 where R^ is hydrogen or a C \ to C4 alkyl group, such as methyl, and R^ is hydrogen or a C \ to C4 alkyl group, capable of being removed so as to form an amido group, for example, mαhyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, aryl, hexyl, αc. In one embodiment, these compounds are acrylic and methacrylic esters such as methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl acrylate and methyl, ethyl, propyl, or butyl methacrylate. The amidoamine adduα from reaction step (A) (i.e., the first amidoamine adduα) is reaαed with the α,β-unsaturated compound under conditions effective to form a second amidoamine adduα. Depending upon the conditions employed, the reaαion can involve either a non-selective reaction of the α,β-unsaturated compound (i.e., concurrent reaction of both the carbon-carbon double bonds and the -C(-X)Z groups) or the selective reaction of the carbon-carbon double bonds only. Non- sdective reaαion is carried out at atmospheric or elevated pressures and at a temperature at which both the double bonds and the funαional groups undergo facile reaαion with the reactive amino group(s) in the first amidoamine adduα. The temperature is typically in the range of from about 60°C up to the lowest decomposition temperature of any of the reactants or produαs, and is more typically in the range of from about 70 to 150°C (e.g., 90 to 150°C). Lower temperatures can be employed, but will tend to decrease amount of the less reactive -C(-X)Z functional groups which reaαs with the first amidoamine adduct, thereby decreasing the non- sdectivity of the reaction The reaαion time involved can vary widely depending on a wide variety of faαors such as reaction temperature, desired degree of conversion, and the like. For example, lower temperatures generally demand longer times. Usually, reaction times of from about 0.5 to 30 hours, such as 5 to 25 hours, and more typically times of about 2 to 12 hours will be employed Although a solvent can be employed, the reaction can be run without the use o any solvent. It is preferred to avoid the use of an aqueous solvent such as water However, taking into consideration the effeα of solvent on the reaαion, where desired, any suitable solvent can be employed, whether organic or inorganic, polar or non-polar Suitable solvents include alkanols (e.g., Ci to C$ alkanols such as methanol. isopropanol, ethanol and the like), αhers, xylene, benzene, toluene, tretrahydrofuran, methylene chloride, chloroform, chlorobenzene, and the like. If the amidoamine adduct to be employed as the reactant in reaαion step (B) is in a mixture with an inert solvent earlier employed in reaction step (A) and not removed in a treatment step (e.g., a base oil such as mineral lubricating oil), the use of additional solvent here is usually not necessary. The α,β-unsaturated reactant may be used in any amount sufficient under the reaction time and conditions employed to provide a produα formed by the reaction of the α,β-uπsaturated compound with reaαive amino groups in the amidoamine adduα resulting from step (A) (the first amidoamine adduα). It is typically employed in an amount of α,β-unsaturaιed compound suffident to convert at least a major portion (i.e., at least 50 mole%. e.g., 50 to 90 moIe%), preferably at least about 80 mole% (e.g., 80 to 95 mole%), more preferably at least about 90 mole% (e.g., 90 to 98 mole%), and most preferably substantially all (i.e., at least 97 mole%) to ail (99 to 100 mole%) of the first amidoamine adduα to the amidoamine adduα of step (B) (the second amidoamine adduct) Those skilled in the an will recognize that the structure of the second amidoamine adduct resulting from the non-seleαive reaction of the α,β-unsaturated compound and the first amidoamine adduα from step (A) will depend in part upon the number of reactive amino groups available per adduα chain and on the relative amounts of the two reactants. For example, the α,β-unsaturated compound will tend - 23 - to couple and/or extend amidoamine adduα chains having three or more reactive amino groups when the amidoamine is employed in an equimolar or excess molar amount, but will tend to crosslink the amidoamine chains when the α,β-unsaturated compound is itself employed in a molar excess, espedally when the reaction is conduαed for a time and under conditions that reaα substantially all of the reactive amino groups in the first amidoamine adduct. It is preferred, however, to avoid or at least minimize the crossiinkiπg of the amidoamine chains. When reaαed with amidoamine adduαs having two reaαive amino groups per chain, the use of about 0.25 to 0.50 mole of α, -unsaturated compound per mole of amidoamine adduα will typically lead to the formation of varying amounts of both coupled amidoamine chains (i.e., AA-C-AA wherein AA represents an amidoamine adduα and C represents the α,β-unsaturated compound) and extended amidoamine chains (i.e., AA-C-AA-C-AA and the like). As the amount of α,β-unsaturated compound is reduced below 0.25 mole per mole of amidoamine, the formation of coupled amidoamines becomes more favored, while the use of α,β -unsaturated compound in amounts increasingly above 0.50 mole will favor the formation of chain extended products. When reaαed with amidoamine adduαs having one reaαive amino group per chain, the use of α,β- unsaturated compound in amounts up to about 0.5 mole per mole of amidoamine adduα will favor formation of coupled amidoamine adduα chains. As the amount of α ,β-unsaturated compound is increased above 0.5 mole, however, the formation of 1:1 adducts with the amidoamine becomes more favored. In any event, as those skilled in the art will recognize, for a given starting amidoamine adduα, produα structure can be manipulated by suitable control of the reaαion conditions in combination with the ratio of the equivalents of reactive amino groups to moles of α,β-unsaturated compound. The progress of the reaαion can be determined by measuring the disappearance of the carbon-carbon double bonds using carbon- 13 NMR and by measuring the amount of the byproduα liberated as a result of the amidation of the -C(=X)Z groups (e.g., the amount of byproduα alcohol released by amidation of ester). Alternatively, the progress of the reaction can be determined by measuring the disappearance of reactive amino groups using nitrogen- 15 NMR Reaαion steps (A) and (B) are illustrated as follows, wherein the volatile amine is exemplified by linear diethylenetriamine ("DETA") and the α,β-unsaturated compound is exemplified by methyl acrylate (i.e., R 4 = R^ = R^ - H; X = O; and Z = OCH3 in formula (I)): 24 - Rl O I II (A) POLY— C— C — R + H2N— H2CH2NHCH2CH2— H2- I (linear DETA) R2 (πn Rl O POLY— I — C « HCH->CH2NHCH2CH2NH2 + HYR3 I R2 (xn) Rl O O I 11 II (B) 2 POLY— C— CNHCH2CH2NHCH2CH2NH2 + CH2 * CH- C— OCH 3 - I (methyl acrylate) R2 (xπ) In the illustration, the first amidoamine adduα has the formula (XII) and has one reactive primary amino group and one reactive secondary amino group. The illustration shows the coupling of the first amidoamine adduαs in reaction step (B) via - 25 - the reaction of the carbon-carbon double bond in the methyl acrylate with the primary amino group in one amidoamine adduα (i.e., Michael addition) and the reaction of the -COOCH3 group with the primary amino group of another amidoamine adduα (i.e., amidation), giving thereby a second amidoamine adduα offormula (XHI). In reaαion step (B) of the illustration, 0.5 mole of methyl acrylate is employed per mole of (XII). The use of methyl acrylate in amounts increasingly greater than 0.5 mole will increasingly favor the formation of 1 : 1 adducts of (XII) and the acrylate via reaction of the amidoamine with either the acrylate's double bond or methyl ester group. The secondary amino group in amidoamine adduα (XH) is also available for reaction with mtthy I acrylate. but, because primary amino groups are normally more reactive than secondary amino groups, the formation of adduα (XHT) is generally favored. Nonetheless, adduαs of the secondary amino group may form, espeάally where mαhyl acrylate is employed in an excess of the amount necessary to reaα all the primary amino groups and the seleαed reaction time and conditions are sufficient for reaction of the less reactive secondary amino groups. Generally speaking, when both primary amino groups and secondary amino groups are available in the first amidoamine adduα for reaction in step (B), the reaction is typically run for a time and under conditions to avoid or at least minimize the reaαion of the secondary amino groups. The produα mixture resulting from reaαion step (B) containing the desired second amidoamine adduct is preferably treated (e.g., by distillation or by inert gas (e.g., N2) stripping, optionally under vacuum) to substantially remove any volatile reaction byproducts and unreaαed α,β-unsaturated compound. If employed, solvent can also be removed in the same or a separate treatment step. In one embodiment of the process of the invention, reaction step (B) involves the sdeαive reaαion of the first amidoamine adduα with the α,β-unsaturated compound; i.e., the α,β -unsaturated compound is employed in step (B) under conditions effeαive to selectively reaα. at least a portion of the carbon-carbon double bonds in the α,β-unsaturated compound with the reaαive amino groups in the first amidoamine adduα, such that the second amidoamine adduα is charaαerized by having unreaαed -C(=X)Z funαional groups. Selective reaction can normally be achieved simply by decreasing the reaction temperature below the range suitable for the non-sdeαive reaction of the double bonds and the -C(=X)Z groups of the α,β- unsaturated compound, thereby decreasing the reaαivity of the less reaαive funαional groups. Accordingly, seleαive reaαion is typically carried out at atmospheric or devated pressure at a temperature from about -10° to 40°C (e.g., from about 10° to 20°C). The extent of reaction can be determined by measuring the disappearance of the carbon-carbon double bonds using carbon- 13 NMR or the disappearance of reaαive amino groups using nitrogen- 15 NMR. Lower temperatures can be used, although longer reaction times may be required. Higher temperatures can also be employed, provided that the reactivity of the less reactive -C(=X)Z functional groups remains negligible. The ranee and choices of other reaction conditions for sdective reaαion (e.g., reaαion time, pressure, use of solvents, and the like) are the same or similar to those described above for non-sdective reaction. The α,β-unsaturated reaαant may be used in any amount suffirieπt under the reaαion time and conditions employed to provide a second amidoamine adduα formed by the sdeαive reaction of the carbon-carbon double bonds in the α,β-unsaturated compound with reactive ammo groups in the first amidoamine adduα resulting from step (A). The second amidoamine adduα is charaαerized by having unreaαed -C(*X)Z groups in its structure, incorporated therein from the α,β-unsaturated compound. The α,β-unsaturated compound is typically employed in an amount sufδdent to convert at least a major portion (i.e., at least 50 mole%; e.g., 50 to 90 mole%), preferably at least about 80 mole% (e.g., 80 to 95 mo!e%), more preferably at least about 90 mole% (e g , 90 to 98 mole%), and most preferably substantially all (at least 98 mole%) to all (i e , 99 to 100 mole%) of the amidoamine adduα of step (A) to the desired step (B) product Accordingly, the α,β-unsaturated compound is typically employed in an amount of at least one mole per mole of first amidoamine adduα. An excess amount of α,β -unsaturated compound can also be employed, such as 1.1 to 10 moles, 1.25 to 5 moles, or 2 to 5 moles of unsaturated compound per mole of first amidoamine adduct The type of second amidoamine adduα formed via sdective reaction in step (B) varies with the amount of α,β-unsaturated compound employed. Generally speaking, a more linear amidoamine tends to form when substantially equimolar amounts of the unsaturated compound .and the first amidoamine adduα are reaαed- A more branched amidoamine tends to form when an excess of the ethylenically unsaturated reaαant of formula (I) is used. Of course, faαors other than the rdative amounts of the reactants can influence the degree of branching in the resulting second amidoamine adduct For example, if the first amidoamine reaαant contains more than one reaαive amino group per molecule, there is a statistically greater probability of branching relative to a first amidoamine having only one amino reaαant, because it has more N-H moieties available for reaαion. Sdective reaαion in step (B) is illustrated as follows for the above-described first amidoamine adduct of structure (XII): (B) POLY— Rl O O POLY— c 1 — c 11 — HCH2CH2NHCH2CH2NH— H2CH2C 11 — 0CH3 pαv ) R2 (linear adduα) (branched adduα) The illustration shows that the sdective reaαion of the first amidoamine adduα (XU) with the carbon-carbon double bond of methyl acrylate can result in amidoamine adduαs offormula (XIV) and (XV), each containing one or more unreaαed -COOCH3 groups. Reaction (B) tends to form adduα (XIV) when equimolar amounts of the first adduct (XII) and methyl acrylate are employed. The use of excess methyl acrylate favors the formation of adduα (XV). The secondary amino group in amidoamine adduα (XII) is also available for reaαion with methyl acrylate, but, because primary amino groups are normally more 5805 - 28 - reactive than secondary amino groups, the formation of adduαs (XIV) and (XV) is normally favored. Nonetheless, at least some adduαs of the secondary amino group may form. For example, if the methyl acrylate were used in an amount exceeding two moles per mole of (XII) and the selected reaction time and conditions were sufficient for reaction of the less reactive secondary amino groups, the following triply branched adduα can be formed : CH2CH2COOCH3 Rl O / CH2CH2COOCH3 POLY - — C — CN NHCI i:CH2NCH2CH2N (XVI) {^2 CH2CH2COOCH3 As is the case for non-selective reaαion, when both reactive primary amino groups and reaαive secondary amino groups are available in the first amidoamine adduα, the sdeαive reaction is typically run for a time and under conditions to avoid or rninimize the reaction of the secondary amino groups. The second amidoamine adduα resulting from selective reaction in reaction step (B) can optionally be further reaαed with a second amine. While the produα of step (B) is itself useful as an additive in lubricating oils and in fuds, the further reaction of the step (B) product with an amine results in produα having a higher nitrogen content, which can be desirable in certain additive applications (e.g., dispersants). The second amidoamine adduct resulting from sdeαive reaαion in step (B) has unreaαed - C(=X)Z groups (e g., ester groups or thioester groups) in its structure which are amidated with the second amine. The second amine can be any amine containing at least one reactive amino group (i.e., a primary or a secondary amino group capable of reaαing with the second amidoamine adduct to form amides), preferably containing at least one primary amino group, and more preferably containing at least two reaαive amino groups at least one ofwhich is aprimary amino group, and mixtures of such amines. The second amine can optionally contain other reaαive or polar groups, provided they do not interfere with the amidation reaction. The second amine can be a hydrocarbyl amine or a substituted hydrocarbyl amine containing substituent groups such as hydroxy, alkoxy, nitriles and the like. The second amine may be the same or different from the heretofore described volatile amine employed in reaαion step (A). A suitable second amine is an alkylene polyamine of about 2 to 60 (e.g., 2 to 30), preferably 2 to 40 (e.g., 4 to 20), most preferably 2 to 20 total carbon atoms and about 1 to 12 (e.g., 2 to 9), preferably 3 to 12, and most preferably 3 to 9 nitrogen atoms per molecule, and mixtures thereof. Exemplary alkylene poiyamines include tetraαhylene pentamine ("TEPA"), pentaethylenehexamine ("PEHA"), di-(l,2-propylene)triamine, and di-(l,3- propyienetriamine). Among the useful alkylene poiyamines are commercial mixtures of ethylene amines averaging 5 to 7 nitrogen atoms per molecule available under the tradename E- 100 (Do w Chemical) and HP A-X (Umon Carbide). Another suitable second amine is a heavy alkylene polyamine which is defined herein as a mixture of higher oligomers of alkylene poiyamines, having an average of at least about 7 nitrogen atoms per molecule. A preferred heavy polyamine is a mixture of ethylene poiyamines containing essentially no TEPA, at most small amounts of pentaethylene hexamine, and the balance oligomers with more than 6 nitrogens and more branching than conventional commercial polyamine mixtures, such as the E-100 and HP A-X mixtures noted in the preceding paragraph. A useful heavy alkylene polyamine composition is commercially available from Dow Chemical under the tradename HA-2. HA-2 is a mixture of higher boiling ethylene polyamine oligomers and is prepared by distilling out all the lower boiling ethylene polyamine oligomers (light ends) up to and induding TEPA. The TEPA content is less than 1 wt .%. Only a small amount of PEHA, less than 25 wt.%, usually 5-15 wt.%, remains in the mixture. The balance is higher nitrogen content oligomers with a great degree of branching. The heavy polyamine preferably contains essentially no oxygen. Typical analysis of HA-2 gives primary nitrogen values of 7.8 milliequivalents (meq) (e.g., 7.7 to 7.8) of primary amine per gram of polyamine. This calculates to be about an equivalent weight (EW) of 128 grams per equivalent (g eq). The total nitrogen content is about 32.0-33.0 wt.%. In comparison, conventional commercial polyamine mixtures such as E-100 and HP A-X typically have 8.7-8.9 meq of primary amine per gram and a nitrogen content of about 33 to 34 wt.%. Another suitable second amine is a one-armed amine, which is defined herein as an amine containing an average of one primary amino group and one or more secondary or tertiary amino groups per molecule. The one-armed amine preferably contains one primary amino group and 1 to 10 secondary or tertiary amino groups. Mixtures of such one-armed amines are also suitable. Exemplary one-armed amines are dimethylamino-propyiaminopropylamine and polypropylenetetramine with one end substituted with a tallow group and having approximately one primary amine per molecule. Suitable one-armed amines are further described in WO-A-95 35329. The choice of second amine for reaction with the second amidoamine adduα depends in part upon the desired amount of nitrogen incorporation in the resulting - 30 - produα. For example, when a relatively high nitrogen content is necessary or desired, the second amine is selected from amines with a higher nitrogen content such as a high nitrogen containing alkylene polyamine (e.g., TEPA. PEHA, heavy alkylene polyamine, etc.). The second amidoamine adduα resulting from sdeαive reaαion in step (B) is reaαed with the second amine under conditions effective to amidate at least a portion of the -C(=X)Z functional groups in the second amidoamine adduα. The reaction may be carried out at any temperature up to the decomposition of the reactants and products, but is typically conducted at temperatures of from about 50 to 250°C (e.g., 100 to 250°C), and preferably from about 125 to 175°C. The reaαion time can vary widdy depending upon the choice and amount of second amine and amidoamine adduα to be reacted, the desired degree of conversion, reaαion temperature, and the like. Reaction times are typically from about 1 to 15 hours (e.g., from 1 to 10 hours). Where an acrylic-type ester is employed, the progress of the reaαion can be judged by the removal of the alcohol in forming the amide. During the eariy part of the reaction, alcohol is removed quite readily bdow 100°C in the case of low boiling alcohols such as methanoi or ethanol. As the reaction slows, the temperature is raised to push the amidation to completion and the temperature may be raised to 150°C toward the end of the reaction. Removal of alcohol is a convenient mαhod of judging the progress and completion of the reaction which is generally continued until no more alcohol is evolved. Based on removal of alcohol, the yidds are typically stoichiometric. In more difficult reaαions, yields of at least 95 percent are typically obtained. Similarly, the reaction of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylate thioester of formula (VI) liberates the corresponding HSR 7 compound (e.g., H2S when R 7 is hydrogen) as a by-product, and the reaction of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxyamide offormula (VII) liberates the corresponding HNR 7 (R 8 ) compound (e.g., ammonia when R 7 and R 8 are each hydrogen) as by-produtt. The progress of these reaαions can be judged by the liberation and/or removal of these by-products. Although not required, any solvent — whether organic or inorganic, polar or nonpolar — that is inert to the reactants and products under the seieαed reaction conditions can be employed in reaction step (C). If the step (B) produα employed in reaαion step (C) is in a mixture with an inert solvent earlier employed in reaαion step (B) and not removed in a treatment step (e.g., a base oil such as mineral lubricating oil), the use of additional solvent here is usually not necessary. The second amine may be employed in any amount under the seleαed reaction time and conditions sufficient to amidate at least a portion of the -C(~X)Z funαional groups in the second amidoamine adduα. The second amine is typically employed in an amount sufficient to convert a major portion (i.e., at least 50 mole%), preferably at least 80 mole%, (e.g., 80 to 90 mole%), more preferably at least 90 mole% (e.g., 90 to 95 mole%), and most preferably substantially all (i.e., 95 to 100 mole%) of the -C(-X)Z functional groups in the second adduα. Accordingly, the second amine is typically employed in an amount of at least one equivalent of reactive amino groups per equivalent of -C(=X)Z funαional groups. The second amine can be used in an excess amount (e.g., 1.1 to 5 or 1.2 to 4 equivalent of reactive amino groups per equivalent of -C(-X)Z functional groups) in order to achieve substantial conversion and to reduce reaαion time. However, it is generally preferred to avoid the use of excess amounts of second amine that would lead under the reaαion conditions employed to the significant presence of unreaαed amine (i.e., more than about 5 wt.%) in the reaαion mixture at the conclusion of the reaction, particularly where the unreaαed second amine (e.g., a heavy polyamine) cannot be conveniently removed from the reaction mixture (e.g., by nitrogen stripping or vacuum distillation). When the second amine contains a primary amino group (or groups) or both a primary amino group (or groups) and a secondary amino group (or groups), the second amine is preferably used in an amount of at least one equivalent of primary amino groups per equivalent of -C(=X)Z functional groups, wherein, because the primary amino groups are normally more reactive than the secondary amino groups, the amidation reaction will occur substantially between the -C(=X)Z groups and the primary amino groups. Those skilled in the an will recognize that the structure of the resulting produαs will depend in part upon the number of reactive amino groups per second amine molecule and the number of -C(=X)Z groups per second amidoamine adduα. For example, the use of a primary or secondary monoamine as the second amine will result in the simple addition of the monoamines to the second amidoamine adducts. A second amine containing two reaαive amino groups (e.g., ethylene diamine) can, in addition to forming simple adduα produα, aα to couple together individual amidoamine adduct chains and to extend amidoamine adduα chains having at least two -C(=X)Z groups per chain, when such bi-and or multifunctional chains are present. Second amines with three or more reaαive amino groups can aα as chain crosslinkers to crosslink bi- and multifunαional amidoamine adduα chains in addition to acting as chain couplers and/or chain extenders. Accordingly, the skilled artisan will further recognize that suitable manipulation of the reaαion conditions in combination with the - 32 - sdeαion of the second amine and manipulation of the ratio of reaαive amino groups to -C(=X)Z groups can control the degree of simple addition and, where the following are possible, the degree of chain coupling, chain extension, and/or chain crosslinking. Reaαion of a second amine with the second amidoamine adduα obtained by sdeαive reaαion in step iB is illustrated by the reaction of TEPA with second amidoamine adduα (XIV) as follows, where LINK represents -{CH2CH2NHI3CH2CH2- Rl O O I II II POLY-C-C-NHαhCH2 - NHCH2CH2NH-CH2CH2C— OCH3 + H2N-LINK-NH2- R 2 (XIV) Rl O O I II II POLY - C- C- NHCH2CH2NHCH2CH2 C— NH— LINK- NHj, R 2 ( ~X,VH POLY- Produα (XVIT) results from the simple addition of TEPA to adduα (XIV), and produα (XVHT) results from chain coupling. The relative proportion of produαs (XVII) and (XVIII) will depend upon such faαors as the amount of TEPA reaαant employed and the degree of conversion -achieved. The use of a substantial excess of TEPA (e.g., at least 2 moles of TEPA per mole of -COOCH3 ester groups) will typically favor the formation of produα (XVII), whereas the use of equimolar amounts of TEPA and -C(=X Z groups will favor produα (XVIII), particularly when the reaαion is run for a time and under conditions sufficient to reaα substantially all of the -COOCH3 ester groups The use of an equimolar amount of TEPA in combination with a high conversion of the -C(=X)Z groups is preferred in order to avoid removing unreaαed TEPA in a post-reaαion step. As an alternative to using a second amine, the second amidoamine adduα resulting from selective reaαion in reaαion step (B) can be further reaαed with a first amidoamine adduα of step (A), which may be the same or different from the first amidoamine adduα used to obtain the second amidoamine adduα. The relative amount of reaαant s and the conditions suitable for this reaαion are the same or similar to those described above for reaαing of the second amine with the second amidoamine adduα. The process of the invention also includes a process for preparing a produα useful as an additive in fuels and lubricating oils comprising reaction step (A) as heretofore described and the step of reacting the first amidoamine adduα of step (A) with another amidoamine adduα formed by reacting (i) an α,β-unsaturated compound offormula (I) and (ii) a polyamine having at least two reactive amino groups seleαed from the group consisting of primary amino groups, secondary amino groups, and mixtures thereof, under conditions effeαive to selectively reaα at least a portion of the carbon-carbon double bonds in the ot,β-unsaturated compound with the reaαive amino groups in the polyamine, such that the other amidoamine adduα is charaαerized by having unreaαed -C(=X)Z funαional groups; wherein the first amidoamine adduα is reaαed with the other amidoamine adduα under conditions effective to amidate at least a portion of the -C(=X)Z funαional groups. The amount of α,β-unsaturated compound and the reaction conditions suitable for this sdeαive reaction are the same or similar to those described above for the step (B) sdeαive reaction of α,β- unsaturated compound and first amidoamine adduα. The poiyamines preferably have at least two primary amino groups, and preferably the reaαion is conduαed under conditions which avoid or minimize reaction with any secondary amino groups which may be available. The alkylene poiyamines described above in the discussion of second amines are particularly suitable. Post-treatment. The produα resulting (i) from non-selective reaction in step (B), (ii) from seleαive reaαion in step.(B) and optionally modified by further reaction, or (ui) from the process described in the preceding paragraph can be post-treated. The processes used for post-treating are analogous to the post-treating processes used for conventional dispersants and viscosity modifiers. Accordingly, the same reaction conditions, ratio of reactants and the like can be used. Thus, the amidoamine produα can be post-treated with such reagents as urea, thiourea, carbon disulfide, aldehydes, inorganic acids, carboxylic acids, dicarboxylic acid anhydrides, hydrocarbyl substituted sucdnic anhydrides, rut riles, epoxides, boron compunds, phosphorus compounds and the like. In one embodiment, the produα can be borated by post-treating the produα with a borating agent to obtain a borated produα containing at least about 0.01 weight percent of boron based on the total weight of the borated produα. The borated produα can contain up to about 10 wt.% boron (e.g., 3 to 10 wt.%) but preferably has 0.05 to 2 wt.%, e.g., 0.05 to 0.7 wt.% boron. Suitable borating agents indude boron halides, (e.g. boron trifiuoride, boron tribromide, boron trichloride), boron adds, and simple esters of the boron adds (e.g., trialkyi borates containing 1 to 8 carbon alkyl groups such as methyl, αhyl, n-octyL 2-ethyihexyl, etc.). The Deration reaαion is typically carried out by adding from about 0.05 to 5 wt.%, e.g., 1 to 3 wt.% (based on the wdght of the produα) of the borating agent, and heating with stirring at from about 90 to 250°C, preferably 135 to 190°C (e.g., 140 to 170°C), for from about 1 to 10 hrs. followed by nitrogen stripping in said temperature ranges. The borating agent is preferably boric add which is most usually added as a slurry to the reaαion mixture. A suitable low sediment process involves borating with a particulate boric add having a particle size distribution charaαerized by a φ value of not greater than about 450. The process is described in US-A-5430105. In another embodiment, the produα can be post-treated by reaction with a phosphorus-containing agent to introduce phosphorus or phosphorus-containing moieties into the produα. Suitable phosphorus-containing agents indude phosphorus adds, phosphorus oxides, phosphorus sulfides, phosphorus esters and the like. Suitable inorganic phosphorus compounds include phosphoric add, phosphorous add, phosphorus pentoxide, and phosphorus pentasulfide. Suitable organic phosphorus compounds include mono-, di- and trihydrocarbyl phosphates, the hydrocarbylpyrophosphates, and their partial or total sulfur analogs wherein the hydrocarbyl group(s) contain up to about 30 carbon atoms each. Illustrative post- treatments employing phosphorus compounds are described in US-A-3184411, 3342735, 3403102, 3502677, 3511780, 3513093, 4615826, and 4648980, and in GB- A-1153161 and 2140811. In still another embodiment, the produα can be post-treated by reaction with a low molecular wdght dicarboxylic add acylating agent such as maleic anhydride, maldc add, fumaric acid, succinic add, alkenyl or alkyl substituted succinic adds or anhydrides (in which the alkyl or alkenyl substituent has from 1 to about 24 carbon atoms), and the like. The acylating agent is typically reaαed with the amidoamine produα at temperatures in the range of from about 80 to 180°C for a time ranging from about 0.1 to 10 hours, optionally in the presence of an inert solvent. In a further embodiment, the produα can be post-treated by reaαion with a strong inorganic acid, such as with a mineral add seleαed from sulfuric, nitric and hydrochloric add at a temperature of from about 93 to 204°C, as described in US-A- 4889646. Compositions. The products of the present invention include produαs comprising second amidoamine adduαs obtained by the selective reaction of the first amidoamine adduα of step (A) with the α,β-unsaturated compound offormula (I), which adducts have been optionally further reaαed with a second amine, as described above. The produαs of the invention also indude produαs obtained by reacting the first amidoamine adduct of the above-described reaction step (A) with another amidoamine adduα formed by the selective reaction of 0) an α,β-unsaturated compound offormula (I) and (ii) a polyamine, as described above. The produαs of the invention possess properties (e.g., good dispersancy and detergency) which make them useful as additives in fuels and in lubricating oils. The additives of the invention are used by incorporation into the lubricating oils and fuels. Incorporation may be done in any convenient way and typically involves dissolution or dispersion of the additives into the oit or fud in a dispersant or dαergent - effective amount. The blending into the fuel or oil can occur at room or devated temperature. Alternatively, the additives can be blended with a suitable oil-soluble solvent diluent (such as benzene, xylene, toluene, lubricating base oils and petroleum distillates, including the various normally liquid petroleum fuds noted bdow) to form a concentrate, and then the concentrate can be blended with a lubricating oil or fuel to obtain the final formulation Such additive concentrates will typically contain on an aαive ingredient (Al) basis from about 10 to 80 weight percent, typically 20 to 60 wt.%, and preferably from about 40 to 50 wt.% additive, and typically from about 40 to 80 wt.%, preferably from about 40 to 60 wt.% base oil (or fuel) based on concentrate wdght. When the additives of this invention are used in normally liquid petroleum fuels such as middle distillates boiling from about 65 to 430°C, including kerosene, diesd fuels, home heating fuel oil, jet fuels, etc., a concentration of the additives in the fuel in the range of typically from about 0.001 to 0.5 wt.%, and preferably 0.005 to 0.15 wt.%, based on the total weight of the composition, will usually be employed. Fuel compositions of this invention can contain other conventional additives in addition to the additive of the invention. These can include anti-knock agents, cetane improvers, metal deactivators, deposit modifiers preventors, and anti-oxidants. - 36 - The additives of the present invention find their primary utility in lubricating oil compositions which employ a base oil in which the additives are dissolved or dispersed therein. Such base oils may be natural or synthetic. Base oils suitable for use in preparing the lubricating oil compositions of the present invention include those conventionally employed as crankcase lubricating oils for spark-ignited and compression-ignited internal combustion engines, such as automobile and truck engines, marine and railroad diesel engines, and the like. Advantageous results are also achieved by employing the additives of the present invention in base oils conventionally employed in and/or adapted for use as power transmitting fluids, universal traαor fluids and hydraulic fluids, heavy duty hydraulic fluids, power steering fluids and the like. Gear lubricants, industrial oils, pump oils and other lubricating oil compositions can also benefit from the incorporation therein of the additives of the present invention. Natural oils include animal oils and vegetable oils, liquid petroleum oils and hydrorefined, solvent-treated or acid-treated mineral lubricating oils of the paraffinic, naphthenic and mixed paraffmic-naphthenic types. Oils of lubricating viscosity derived from coal or shale are also useful base oils. Synthetic lubricating oils include hydrocarbon oils and haiosubstituted hydrocarbon oils such as polymerized and interpoiymerized olefins (e.g., polybutylenes, polypropylenes, propylene-isobutylene copolymers, and chlorinated polybutylenes). Other suitable synthetic oils include alkylene oxide polymers, interpolymers and derivatives thereof where the terminal hydroxyl groups have been modified by esterification, etherification, and the like; esters of dicarboxylic acids; esters made from C5 to C12 monocarboxylic adds and polyols and polyol ethers such as neopentyl glycol; and silicon-based oils such as the polyalkyl- polyaryl-, polyalkoxy-. or polyaryloxysiloxane oils and silicate oils. The additives of the present invention may be mixed with other types of conventional additives, each sdeαed to perform at least one desired function. Among the other additives which may be in the lubricating oil formulation are metal containing detergent inhibitors, viscosity modifiers, and anti-wear agents. The metal detergent inhibitors are generally basic or overbased alkali or alkaline earth metal salts or mixtures thereof (e.g. mixtures of Ca and Mg salts) of one or more organic adds (e.g., sulfonates, naphthenates, phenates and the like). Viscosity modifiers are generally hydrocarbon polymers or polyesters, optionally derivatized to impart dispersancy or some other property, having number average molecular weights of from 10^ to 10*> The ami- wear agents are typically oil-soluble zinc dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphates. Other additives which may be employed in the formulation are antioxidants, corrosion inhibitors, pour depressants, friαion modifiers, foam inhibitors, demulsifiers, flow improvers, and seal swell control agents. Conventional dispersants can also be employed in addition to the additives of the invention. These other additives are typically blended into the base oil in amounts which are effective to provide their normal attendant function. Whether used alone or in combination with these other additives, the additives of the present invention are generally employed (e.g., as a dispersant additive) in an amount of about 0.01 to 20 wt.%, preferably 0.1 to 10 wt .%, most preferably 0.1 to 6 wt.%, based upon the total wdght of the composition.

EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate, but do not limit the scope of, the present invention. Values of M n , ethylene comonomer content, and/or oiefin content reported bdow for ethyiene-butene- 1 copolymers were determined using carbon- 13 NMR. Values of the ratio of aliphatic carbon to carbonyl carbon and the neo content of the carbonylated polymers were determined using carbon- 13 NMR. Values for the conversion of polymer to carbonylated polymer were dαermined by separating the carbonylated (i.e., functionalized) and non-carbonylated (unfunctionalized) polymer components using column chromatography and then determining the weight fractions of the separated components. Values for the nitrogen content of various products were determined using a Carlo Erba analyzer. ExH-J-k-L An ethylene-butene- 1 copolymer (46 wt.% ethylene, Mn = 3300, about 63V* terminal vinylidene) prepared via Ziegler-Natta polymerization with zirconium metallocene catalyst and methyl aiumoxane cocatalyst was carbonylated with carbon monoxide in the presence of BF3 and 2,4-dichlorophenol in a continuous stirred tank reaαor (reaction temperature = 70°C, residence time of about twenty minutes, CO partial pressure = 9.032 kPa ( 1310 psia), BF3 partial pressure β 3,448 kPa (500 psia), dichlorophenol to copolvmer mole ratio - 6:1, BF3 to CO mole ratio = 0.38:1) to form a 2,4-dichlorophenyl ester funαionalized polymer. Conversion to carbonylated polymer (i.e., ester functionalized polymer) was 88.2 wt.%. The ester had a ratio of the number of aliphatic carbon atoms to the number of CO carbon atoms of 307. About 100% of the ester funαional groups were neo substituted groups. 300 grams of the resulting polymer ester was aminated with propane diamine in a diamine to ester mole ratio of 5: 1 by mixing the ester and diamine at room temperature and then allowing the mixture to increase in temperature to the refluxing temperature of the diamine ( 140- 1 5°C). Infrared monitoring of the reaction mixture showed complete disappearance of the ester absorption bands and appearance of the amide band after one hour at 140°C. The excess diamine was distilled off and the residue was vacuum stripped at 180°C for two hours to remove 2,4-dichlorophenol produced by the displacement. Carbon- 13 NMR analysis showed 100 percent conversion to the desired amidoamine adduα. The product analyzed for 0.71 wt.% N. Example Z 100 grams of the produα of Example 1 were diluted in 50 ml of heptane and 3 grams of mαhyl acrylate were added. About 5 ml of methanol was added and the reaαion mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, after wlύch the solvent was stripped off under vacuum at 80°C to a constant weight in about three hours. Infrared analysis of the stripped adduα showed strong ester and amide adsorption bands which indicated that the methyl acrylate was incorporated by a Michael addition via the amine group of the starting amidoamine. The carbonyl region of the carbon- 13 NMR speαrum shows an ester:amide ratio of 1.2:1. The stripped adduct analyzed for 0.62 wt.% N. Example 3 150 grams of the product of Example 1 were diluted with 50 ml of heptane and 10 ml methanol, followed by addition of 15 grams of methyl acrylate. The mbcture was then stirred at room temperature overnight, after which the solvent and excess acrylate ester were stripped off under vacuum at 80°C to a constant wdght in about three hours. The infrared spectrum of the stripped adduα contained intense ester and amide adsorption bands. The stripped adduct analyzed for 0.59 wt.% N. Carbon-13 NMR showed a carbonyl region with an estertamide ratio of 1.7: 1. Sample 5 grams of the adduct of Example 2 were mixed with 5 grams ofN.N- dimethyldiarninopropane. and the mixture was heated to and maintained under nitrogen at 150°C for 4 hours. Infrared monitoring of the reaction mbcture showed the complete disappearance of the ester band. Carbon- 13 NMR analysis of the produα showed two carbonyl peaks at 172 ppm and 177 ppm assigned to the acrylate-bound and the αhyiene-butene-polymer-bound amides respectively. Carbon- 13 analysis also showed that the ratio of acrylate amide to EB polymer amide was about 1.2:1, which corresponded to the ester amide ratio of 1.2: 1 of the starting adduα and thus indicated 100% yidd. The product analyzed for 1.71 wt.% N. Example 5 88 grams of the product of Example 2 and 2.3 grams of Polyamine HA-2 (Dow Chemical) were dissolved in 71 grams of mineral oil solvent ISO neutral. The reaction mixture was heated to and maintained at 150°C for nine hours. Infrared monitoring of the reaαion mixture showed that the ester had been completely converted to amide. The filtered product analyzed for 0.78 wt.% N. ξxamplc ό An ethylene-butene- 1 copolymer (45 wt.% ethylene, n - 3000, about 63% terminal vinylidene) prepared via Ziegler-Natta polymerization with zirconium metallocene and methyl aiumoxane, was carbonylated with carbon monoxide in the presence ofBF3 and 1,1, 1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol in a continuous stirred tank reaαor under conditions as described in Example 1 to form a hexafluoroisopropyi ester - 40 - funαionalized polymer Conversion to carbonylated polymer was 82.2 wt.%. The ester had a ratio of the number of aliphatic carbon atoms to the number of CO carbon atoms of 184. About 100% of the ester functional groups were neo substituted. 400 grams of the resulting polymer ester were aminated with 1,3-propanediamine in a diamine to ester mole ratio of 10:1 by mixing the ester and diamine at room temperature and then allowing the mixture to increase in temperature to the refluxing temperature of the diamine. Complete conversion of the ester to amide was obtained after heating for nine hours at 140°C. The excess diamine and the displaced hexafluoroisopropanol were distilled off under vacuum at 180°C. Carbon- 13 NMR showed the presence of about 98.1% amide and about 1.9% add in the produα. The add was believed to be carboxylic acid functionalized polymer formed during the carbonylation of the ethylene-butene-1 copolymer due to the presence of some moisture, which acid was not convened to amide by the diamine under the reaction conditions employed The product analyzed for 1.06 wt.% N. Example 7 200 grams of the amidoamine ester of Example 6 were dissolved in a mixture of 100 ml of heptane and 10 ml of methanol. 6.2 grams of methyl acrylate were added, followed by stirring the reaction mixture at room temperature overnight. The reaction mbcture was then treated under vacuum at 100°C for 1 to 2 hours to remove the solvent. The treated product was found to have a nitrogen content of 1.02 wt.%. Carbon- 13 NMR analysis determined that conversion to the desired produα was greater than 90%. Example 8 50 grams of the product of Example 7 was mixed with 33 grams of mineral oil solvent 150 neutral and 2.6 grams of Dow HA-2 polyamine. The mbcture was heated for 8 hours at 150°C. An infrared speαrum of the mixture showed the complete disappearance of the ester band. The filtered produα was found to have 1.27 wt.% N. Example 9 (Comparative) A portion of the 2,4-dichlorophenyl ester funαionalized ethylene-butene-1 copolymer prepared in Example 1 was aminated with Dow HA-2 polyamine (32.8 wt.% nitrogen and an equivalent weight of 117) using a stoichiometry of 1.25 equivalents of primary amine per equivalent of ester by heating for 14 hours at 200°C while applying a vacuum to remove the 2,4-dichlorophenol by-produα. The produα was diluted in base oil to produce an oil solution containing 45 wt.% dispersant. The diluted produα had 0 79 wt.% N. Example 10 A portion of the polymer ester prepared in Example 1 was mixed with triethylene tetramine in an amine to polymer mole ratio of 5 : 1, after which the mixture was heated at 200° C. An infrared spectrum of the reaction mixture showed the complete disappearance of the ester absorption bands and the appearance of a strong amide band after four hours at 200°C, indicating a complαe conversion of the polymer ester to polymer amidoamine, which was primarily a 1:1 adduα of the polymer ester and the tetramine. The produα was then stripped at 220°C under vacuum (0.0013 kPa ■ 0.01 mm Hg) to remove the unreaαed tetramine and 2,4-dichlorophenol by-product 100 grams of this stripped first amidoamine produα were dissolved in 70 grams of S150N mineral oil. followed by the addition of 20 ml of methanol. 1.8 grams of methyl acrylate was added (amidoamine produα to acrylate mole ratio of 2:1) with stirring under a nitrogen blanket, and the mixture heated to 100°C. After six hours at 100°C, the resulting produα was stripped with nitrogen at 120°C for about 2 hours. The infrared absorption speαrum of the stripped produα was consistent with the non- selective reaαion of the methyl acrylate with the polymer amidoamine product, wherein the methyl acrylate aαed to couple the polymer amidoamine chains. The oil solution of the stripped second amidoamine produα had 0.83 wt.% N. The kinematic viscosity of the solution (50% Al) was 0.00036 m 2 /sec (360 centistokes) at 100 β C (ASTM D445), versus 0 00021 m 2 /sec (210 centistokes) for the stripped first amidoamine product. Exam le U 115.2 grams (1 equivalent of primary amino groups) of a mixture of ethylene poiyamines having an average composition corresponding to 6 nitrogen atoms and 10 carbon atoms per molecule (33 wt.% N; 8.68 equivalents of primary amine per gram of amine) was dissolved in 100 mi of methanol, after which 86 grams (1 mole) of methyl acrylate was added at 10°C over a one hour period while stirring under nitrogen. The reaαion mixture was then stirred at room temperature for four hours and then stripped under vacuum at about 60°C. An infrared absorption speαrum of the stripped produα showed strong ester absorption bands indicating the methyl acrylate reaαed with the poiyamines by a Michael addition. The stripped produα was found to have 1.91 wt.% N. 4.6 grams of the stripped produα were mixed with 100 grams of the produα of Example 1 and heated to 120° C under a nitrogen blanket. After six hours of heating, an infrared absorption spectrum of the mixture showed the complete disappearance of the ester band and the presence of a strong amide band. The produα was then stripped with nitrogen at 120°C for about 2 hours. The stripped produα was found to have 0.70 wt.% N Example 12 - Sludee Inhibition Tests The dispersancy of the products of Examples 5, 8, and 9 were tested for sludge inhibition via the SIB test In the SIB test, a dispersant is added to a dear, bright supernatant oil obtained from a used crankcase oil composition that has been used in a taxicab. The used crankcase contains a base mineral lubricating oil, a viscosity modifier, a pour point depressant and a zinc dialkyidithiophosphate anti-wear additive, but itself has no dispersant additive. This supernatant oil has been separated from the oil insoluble sludge precursors which on heating under the conditions of the SIB test tend to form additional oil-insoluble deposits. The sludge inhibition of the dispersant is then dttermined by heating the dispersant-oil blend in air for several hours and comparing the amount of sludge (in mg) formed in the blend to the amount formed by a similarly treated blank containing only the oil. SIB values are reported on a normalized scale of 1 (high inhibition) to 10 (no inhibition). A more detailed description of the SIB test can be found in US-A-4954572 and US-A-5271856, both incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. The results of the SIB test are presented below for Examples 5, 8 and 9. In each case, the dispersant was present in an amount providing 0.50 wt.% N. The results show that the products of the invention have useful sludge inhibiting properties. Example SIB ( g) 5 2.66 8 1.60 9 2.71
