Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 112 words
A carboxylic acid ester preparable by completely or partially esterifying an acid component with a polyhydric alcohol component, said acid component comprising 6-cyclohexylhexanoic acid and up to 75 mol % based on the total acid component of an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid having 4 to 20 carbon atoms and said polyhydric alcohol having at least one member selected from the group consisting of glycerol, dipentaerythritol, a compound of the formula ##STR4## wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are hydrogen or alkyl having 1 to 5 carbon atoms and a compound of the formula ##STR5## wherein R 3 is alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or hydroxymethyl.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 112 words
A carboxylic acid ester preparable by completely or partially esterifying an acid component with a polyhydric alcohol component, said acid component comprising 6-cyclohexylhexanoic acid and up to 75 mol % based on the total acid component of an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid having 4 to 20 carbon atoms and said polyhydric alcohol having at least one member selected from the group consisting of glycerol, dipentaerythritol, a compound of the formula ##STR4## wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are hydrogen or alkyl having 1 to 5 carbon atoms and a compound of the formula ##STR5## wherein R 3 is alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or hydroxymethyl.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 14 words
The carboxylic acid ester of claim 1 wherein said acid component is completely esterified.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 15 words
The carboxylic acid ester of claim 1 wherein the acid component consists of 6-cyclohexylhexanoic acid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 30 words
The carboxylic acid ester of claim 1 wherein said polyhydric alcohol component is of the formula ##STR6## wherein R 3 is alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or hydroxymethyl.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 22 words
The carboxylic acid ester of claim 1 wherein 0.8 to 1.3 acid equivalents per equivalent of OH group are employed for esterification.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 19 words
A base oil for the preparation of liquid or pasty lubricants comprising the carboxylic acid ester of claim 1.
