SYNTHESIS OF DIESTER-BASED BIOLUBRICANTS FROM EPOXIDES

The present invention is generally directed to methods of making diester-based lubricant compositions, wherein formation of diester species proceeds via direct esterification of epoxide intermediates. In some embodiments, the methods for making such diester-based lubricants utilize a biomass precursor and/or low value (e.g., Fischer-Tropsch (FT) olefins and/or alcohols) so as to produce high value diester-based lubricants. In some embodiments, such diester-based lubricants are derived from FT olefins and tatty acids. The fatty acids can be from a bio-based source (i.e., biomass, renewable source) or can be derived from FT alcohols via oxidation.

Epoxidation of olefins

A method for producing an epoxide from an olefin using a mixture hydrogen peroxide, a nitrile compound and a ketone is disclosed.

Chemoenzymatic epoxidation of alkenes by dimethyl carbonate and hydrogen peroxide

(matrix presented) Monoperoxy carbonic acid methyl ester can be generated under neutral conditions by lipase-catalyzed perhydrolysis of dimethyl carbonate with hydrogen peroxide. It can be used in situ for the selective and efficient epoxidation of olefins; the unstable coproduct carbonic acid monomethylester decomposes to carbon dioxide and methanol. Thus, an "acid-free" Prileshajev epoxidation is realized, which is especially useful for the epoxidation of acid-sensitive substrates such as β-pinene.
