This disclosure provides low viscosity, low volatility aryl ether compounds represented by formula (1): and represented by formula (2): wherein R1 is the same or different and is a linear or branched alkyl group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms; R2 is the same or different and is hydrogen or an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; and n is the same or different and is a value from 0 to 8. This disclosure also provides processes for producing the aryl ether compounds, lubricating oil basestocks and lubricating oils containing one or more of the aryl ether compounds, and a method for improving one or more of solubility and dispersancy of polar additives and/or sludge in a lubricating oil by using as the lubricating oil a formulated oil containing one or more of the aryl ether compounds.
