Claim 1
Independent Claim
177 words
A method for preventing corrosion of metals from contact with an aqueous solution comprising adding to said aqueous solution a corrosion-inhibiting quantity of at least one benzoyl alanine of the formula ##STR4## wherein R 1 and R 2 can be the same or different and represent hydrogen or an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 12 carbon atoms and R 3 and R 4 can be the same or different and represent hydrogen, an unbranched or branched alkyl radical containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, carboxyalkyl or alkylaminoalkyl radicals containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms in the alkyl groups thereof, and wherein R 3 and R 4 together can be the --CH 2 CH 2 --O--CH 2 CH 2 -- group or the --CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 -- group which form with the nitrogen atom the morpholino or the piperidino ring, or an alkali metal or an ammonium salt of the above benzoyl alanine with a base from the group consisting of ammonia, mono-, di- or triethanolamine.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
177 words
A method for preventing corrosion of metals from contact with an aqueous solution comprising adding to said aqueous solution a corrosion-inhibiting quantity of at least one benzoyl alanine of the formula ##STR4## wherein R 1 and R 2 can be the same or different and represent hydrogen or an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 12 carbon atoms and R 3 and R 4 can be the same or different and represent hydrogen, an unbranched or branched alkyl radical containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, carboxyalkyl or alkylaminoalkyl radicals containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms in the alkyl groups thereof, and wherein R 3 and R 4 together can be the --CH 2 CH 2 --O--CH 2 CH 2 -- group or the --CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 -- group which form with the nitrogen atom the morpholino or the piperidino ring, or an alkali metal or an ammonium salt of the above benzoyl alanine with a base from the group consisting of ammonia, mono-, di- or triethanolamine.
