Selectivity of the Oxidative Attack on a Model Ester Lubricant

The relative oxidative attack at the various carbon-hydrogen bonds of the model ester lubricant neopentyl hexanoate at temperatures 150–200 C was determined by GLC analysis of appropriate derivatives. Relative rates for single carbon-hydrogen bonds were: primary I,“normal” secondary 15, alpha-acyl secondary 2, and alpha-alcohol secondary 4. These results may furnish valuable insight in the development of more oxidatively stable esters for use in high-temperature jet engine lubricants.
