Abstract

Abstract New reaction products obtained by reacting (1) a hindered phenol, (2) a borating agent and (3) a hydrocarbyl carboxylate are described. The preferred reaction sequence involves, first, the reaction of (1) and (2), then reacting the product obtained with the hydrocarbyl carboxylate. Also described are lubricant or liquid fuel compositions containing a major proportion of lubricant or fuel and an antifriction, anticorrosion or fuel reducing amount of the reaction product of this invention and a method of reducing fuel consumption in an internal combustion engine by lubricating the engine therewith.
