Title Facile synthesis and investigation of 1,8-dioxooctahydroxanthene derivatives as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in hydrochloric acid solution
Type JournalPaper
Keywords 1,8dioxooctahydroxanthene, corrosion inhibitors, mild steel, hydrochloric acid solution
Abstract An environmentally friendly and facile method for the preparation of 1,8-dioxooctahydroxanthene between aldehydes with dimedone or cyclohexane-1,3-dione is presented in the presence of trichloromelamine (TCM) under solvent-free conditions. Also, for the first time the corrosion inhibitive performance of some 1,8-dioxooctahydroxanthene derivatives on mild steel in 0.1 M HCl was investigated using AC and DC electrochemical techniques and a quantum chemical method. An efficiency of more than 97% was obtained with 1 mmol L−1 1,8-dioxooctahydroxanthene. Density functional calculations showed that the lone pair electrons of oxygen in the structure of 1,8-dioxooctahydroxanthene are suitable sites to interact with the metal. Finally in the presence of 1,8-dioxooctahydroxanthene, a decrease in surface roughness and corrosion attacks were demonstrated by microscopy examination.
