cap alpha. -1,4-thiazine alkanephosphonic acids as corrosion inhibitors

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6376919
..cap alpha..-1,4-thiazine alkanephosphonic acids are described as corrosion inhibitors. An ..cap alpha..-aminoalkanephosphonic acid is reacted with an equal molar amount of a divinyl sulfur compound to produce the thiazine alkanephosphonic acids. It is preferred to carry out the reaction in a solvent or a mixture of solvents in which the ..cap alpha..-amino phosphonic acid is soluble. To the solution of the ..cap alpha..-amino phosphonic acid, the divinyl sulfone is slowly added. The preferred temperature is 20 to 50 C. A catalyst, such as triethylamine, may be used. Upon cooling, the product precipitates and is purified by recrystallization. In some cases, it is necessary to reduce the final volume in order to isolate the desired product. These products may be used as scale inhibitors, chelating agents or microbiocides. 8 claims.
