Aromatic amine epoxide adducts for corrosion inhibition

Abstract

Compositions and methods are provided for reducing, inhibiting, or preventing corrosion of a surface, the method comprising contacting an anticorrosion compound of Formula 1 with the surface, the anticorrosion compound of Formula 1 having a structure corresponding to: wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 are independently selected from hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkyl, alkoxyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl, and —NR8R9; R6 and R7 are independently hydrogen, a substituted alkyl, substituted alkenyl, substituted aryl, substituted alkaryl, or substituted aralkyl, wherein at least one substituent is a hydroxyl or an ether; provided that at least one of R6 and R7 is other than hydrogen; R8 and R9 are independently hydrogen, unsubstituted alkyl, unsubstituted alkenyl, unsubstituted aryl, unsubstituted alkaryl, unsubstituted aralkyl, substituted alkyl, substituted alkenyl, or substituted alkaryl, wherein at least one substituent is a hydroxyl or an ether; or any two adjacent groups of R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 form one or more ring structures.
