The C2-4 -alkanolamine salts of alkenyl succinic acid(cas:110-15-6) dialkyl semiamides are used as corrosion inhibitors in aqueous systems.
EXAMPLE 1
Production Method
852 g (8.7 mols) of maleic acid anhydride and 1830 g (10.9 mols) of 1-dodecene are first heated to reflux temperature and thereafter to a temperature of approximately 230° C. in the presence of 9.1 g of 2,6-di-tert.-butyl-4-methylphenol. After stirring for approximately 2 hours at 230° C., the reaction mixture is cooled, the excess olefin is distilled off in vacuo and the dodecenyl succinic acid(cas:110-15-6) anhydride left as residue is freed from polymeric particles by filtration. Yield: 1829 g (70% of theoretical), saponification number 430.
236 g (0.9 mol based on the saponification number) of dodecenyl succinic acid(cas:110-15-6) anhydride are heated under nitrogen to 50° C., followed by the addition of 116 g (0.9 mol) of dibutylamine, during which the temperature may rise to around 90° C. On completion of the addition, the mixture is stirred for about another hour at 100° C. After cooling, dodecenyl succinic acid(cas:110-15-6) mono-dibutylamide is obtained in the form of a clear, highly viscous substance.
Yield: 352 g (quantitative), acid number: 148 (theoretical: 143).
The semiamide is converted into the alkanolamine salts by gentle heating with excess mono-, di- or tri-ethanolamine in the presence of a little water.
