Alkyl lactone-derived corrosion inhibitors
Disclosed are alkyl lactone-derived hydroxyamide and alkyl lactone-derived hydroxyester used in compositions and methods for inhibiting corrosion. The alkyl lactone-derived hydroxyamide and alkyl lactone-derived hydroxyester are reaction products of an alkyl lactone and an amine, and an alkyl lactone and an alcohol, respectively.
1. A composition comprising
an alkyl lactone-derived hydroxyamide formed by a reaction between an alkyl lactone with N,N dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine,
wherein the alkyl lactone is selected from one or more of gamma-undecalactone, delta-undecalactone, and gamma-octalactone.
2. The composition of claim 1 , the composition comprising the alkyl lactone derived hydroxyamide selected from the group consisting of:
a compound having the structure
