Green Synthesis of Corrosion Inhibitor from Linoleic Acid Derivatives

What is it about?

The work involved the preparation of an amide derivative of linoleic fatty acid by two methods, one classical and one green, with the assistance of microwave. The green method showed many advantages for the preparation of this type of derivative, such as high yield and purity, lower reaction time, and free from hazardous or environmentally harmful materials. The amide derivative was identified using various physical and chemical techniques such as infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. The effectiveness of the amide derivative as a corrosion inhibitor was also investigated using the potentiodynamic polarization curve method. The results showed that the prepared derivative has high inhibitory activity.
