Sulfonamido containing carboxylic acids

This invention relates to novel amidosulfocarboxylic acids.
There is always a risk of corrosion in numerous fields whenever iron and other iron-containing metals such as steel come into contact with water or with inorganic/aqueous or organic/aqueous solutions, aqueous emulsions of the oil-in-water type or aqueous solids dispersions and similar systems containing appreciable amounts of water.
In most cases, the corrosive action of the said aqueous medium on machinery and apparatus, on tanks and tube walls and other structural elements of iron, iron alloys or steel, must be reduced or inhibited by the addition of anticorrosive substances. Some reduction in the tendency to corrode is frequently achieved simply by creating an alkaline pH either by the addition of alkali metal hydroxide, alkaline-reacting salts such as soda, borax and alkali metal phosphates, or by the addition of organic bases such as mono-, di- or triethanolamine and other aliphatic, aromatic, cycloaliphatic and heterocyclic amines.
However, an appreciable reduction in the corrosive action of the aqueous medium is achieved in this way only at pH's above 9.5 to 10. In many cases the effect is by no means satisfactory, particularly when the metal surface is to remain passive over a fairly long period after contact with the aqueous medium has ceased.
Genuine passivation is achieved, in suitable cases, by the use of oxidizing inorganic salts such as sodium nitrite, sodium chromate or nitric acid itself, but this method can seldom be utilized fully nowadays on account of the toxicity of said substances and effluent laws. Moreover, this method of effecting passivation by forming a film is seldom utilizable in the cases mentioned above. However, passivation effected by forming a film using suitable organic compounds, which, under the neutral to relatively strong alkaline conditions of present interest, are usually of an anionic or possibly non-ionic or not more than weakly cationic nature, is generally applicable.
Examples of anionic compounds are the alkali metal or amine salts of straight-chain aliphatic, saturated and unsaturated carboxylic acids, particular use having been made of said salts of oleic acid. Furthermore, the salts of aliphatic carboxylic acids containing carbonamide or sulfonamide groups, e.g. the salts of oleoylsarcoside or of alkanesulfonamidocarboxylic acids, have been known for many years to be very effective agents for preventing corrosion of iron and steel in aqueous media. More recently, as disclosed for example in German Published Application No. 1,298,672, optionally nuclear-substituted arylsulfonamidocarboxylic acids and salts thereof have been considered for this purpose; other compounds which have been known for a relatively long time to be suitable are simple alkyl-substituted benzoic acids or alkylaryl sulfonic acids.
However, these anionic compounds suffer from considerable disadvantages. Fatty acid salts, of which the salts of oleic acid have been particularly emphasized, possess a certain degree of sensitivity to water hardness and this greatly reduces the anticorrosive action (which does not satisfy highest requirements anyway) of the substances on iron and steel. The products containing carbonamide groups, such as the oleoyl sarcosides, are less sensitive to water hardness but have a tendency to foam which is difficult to control and which therefore restricts their use.
The said optionally nuclear-substituted arylsulfonamidocarboxylic acids and salts thereof only exhibit sufficiently low foaming properties and an anticorrosive action when they are alkylated at the amide nitrogen atom, which measure entails additional manufacturing expense. Furthermore, they must be based on aromatic sulfo compounds for the formation of sulfonamide groups, which is now less desirable for effluent reasons. The said alkane sulfonamidocarboxylic acids and their salts are also unsatisfactory on account of the demand for additional alkylation at the amide nitrogen atom, despite which the foaming activity is still too strong.
Of the non-ionic or weakly cationic anticorrosive agents generally known for many years but not specifically mentioned in more recent patents, particular examples are the alkylol amides of aliphatic carboxylic acids and their alkylol amine esters, e.g. oleic mono- or diethanolamide or oleic mono- or diisopropanol amide.
Compounds of a weakly cationic nature are the fatty acid esters of triethanolamine or triisopropanolamine, which compounds have been used in this field for many years. However, on account of their poor solubility in water these compounds can only be used in combination with the aforementioned anionic anticorrosive agents, or only in the oil phase of aqueous emulsions to be effective as the anticorrosive component of the emulsion.
It is an object of the invention to provide water-soluble or water-dispersible anionic corrosion inhibitors having a broad range of effectiveness and usefulness and, in particular, not exhibiting the aforementioned drawbacks.
We have now found compounds of formula I ##STR1## where R.sup.1 denotes straight-chain or branched-chain, saturated or olefinically or acetylenically unsaturated alkyl of from 1 to 18 or 3 to 18 carbon atoms respectively and optionally containing combined methoxy or ethoxy groups, or R.sup.1 denotes cycloalkyl of from 5 to 12 members, phenyl optionally substituted by alkyl of from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, methoxy, ethoxy or halogen, or R.sup.1 denotes phenylalkyl containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, R.sup.2 denotes hydrogen or R.sup.1, R.sup.1 + R.sup.2 denote, together with the nitrogen atom, a heterocyclic saturated ring having 5 or 6 members, R.sup.3 denotes substituted or unsubstituted alkylene of from 2 to 5 carbon atoms and X.sup.+ denotes an alkali metal or optionally substituted ammonium cation or proton.
We have also found that these compounds and in particular the alkali metal and optionally substituted ammonium salts are eminently suitable for use as metal processing agents exhibiting maximum anticorrosive action, low tendency to foam and good lubricating properties.
Preparation of our novel compounds is simple and is effected by reacting amines of formula II ##STR2## where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 have the meanings stated in formula I, with chlorosulfonylcarboxylic acid esters of formula III
cl SO.sub.2 --R.sup.3 --COOR.sup.4 III,
where R.sup.3 has the meaning given in formula I and R.sup.4 denotes C.sub.1-5 alkyl, in the presence of alkaline reacting compounds, and converting, by known methods, the esters formed into the free acid or its alkali metal or optionally substituted ammonium salts.
Starting materials for the preparation of the compounds of the invention are amines of formula II, examples of which are the following primary amines:
methylamine, ethylamine, n-propylamine, isopropylamine, n-butlyamine, isobutylamine, n-hexylamine, n-octylamine, isomeric hexylamine mixtures, 2-ethyl-n-hexylamine, 2-methyl-n-butylamine, methoxyethylamine, cyclohexylamine, n-dodecylamine, stearylamine, oleylamine, 2-methyl-butyn-3-yl-amine, aniline, toluidine, anisidine, phenetidine, benzylamine, phenylethylamine, phenyl-n-butylamine and phenyl-n-hexylamine;
and the following secondary amines:
dimethylamine, diethylamine, di-n-propylamine, diisopropylamine, di-n-butylamine, diisobutylamine, diisoamylamine, di-n-hexylamine, di-n-octylamine, didocecylamine, distearylamine, dioleylamine, dihexylamine (isomeric mixtures), di-[2-ethyl-n-hexyl]-amine, di-[2-methyl-n-butyl]-amine, N-methyl-N'-n-butylamine, N-methyl-N'-isobutylamine, piperidine, piperazine, pyrrolidine, morpholine, N-methylaniline and N-ethylaniline.
Further starting materials are the chlorosulfonylcarboxylic acid esters of formula III. Suitable esters are, for example, methyl, ethyl and isopropyl 3-chlorosulfonylpropionates, methyl, ethyl and isopropyl 3- or 4-chlorosulfonylbutyrates and the corresponding esters of chlorosulfonyl-n-valeric acid and chlorosulfonyl-isovaleric acid.
These starting compounds may be prepared by photosulfochlorination of the corresponding carboxylic acid esters.
Suitable alkaline reacting compounds required during the reaction of the amines with the chlorosulfonylcarboxylic acid esters or during use of the reaction products formed are alkaline earth metal hydroxides and alkali metal hydroxides or any of the above amines of formula II; if amines are employed, they have to be used in molar excess. However, we prefer to use inorganic bases such as sodium hydroxide.
Suitable bases for the formation of salts with the amidosulfocarboxylic acids are any inorganic or organic bases capable of forming water-soluble products. By water-soluble we mean the colloid, emulsoid or suspensoid state. Salts may be formed with, for example, alkalies or, preferably, organic bases such as mono-, di- and trimethylamines, mono-, di- and triethylamines, mono-, di- and triisopropylamines, mono-, di- and triisobutylamines, 2-methoxyethylamine, 3-methoxypropylamine, 2-ethylhexylamine, mono-, di- and triethanolamine, 3-aminopropanol, cyclohexylamine, N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine, morpholine, pyridine, quinoline, ethylene diamine, diethylene triamine, pentaethylene hexamine and also ethoxylated or propoxylated primary amines.
For salt formation, the reactants may be present in stoichiometric amounts or one of the reactants may be used in an excess of up to 200% molar.
To form the sulfonamide, the molar ratio of the two components (chlorosulfonylcarboxylic acid ester of formula III and amine of formula II) may be from 1:2.5 to 1:1, although we prefer to use the two reactants in approximately equimolar amounts. The hydrogen chloride liberated during the reaction may be combined, depending on the excess of the basic reactant, either by the use of excess amine or by the addition of a further base such as a tertiary amine, an alkali metal hydroxide or alkaline earth metal hydroxide.
The reaction may be carried out by simultaneous mixing all three reactants or by placing one or two of the reactants in the reaction vessel and then adding the other two or the third reactant. For example, the amine may be initially placed in the vessel and the chlorosulfonylcarboxylic acid ester and the alkaline-reacting compound may be simultaneously fed thereto. The best yields are, however, obtained in the reaction of approximately equimolar amounts of sulfochloride and amine when the amine is initially placed in the vessel, half the molar amount of the appropriate chlorosulfonylcarboxylic acid ester is added, and the remainder of said chlorosulfonylcarboxylic acid ester and 1 mole of, say, an inorganic base are simultaneously added from different feed vessels. Suitable reaction media are water and organic solvents, and the reactants may be in homogeneous phase or in two phases, and dissolved, emulsified or suspended. In a preferred embodiment the reactants are present in two phases in aqueous medium. The reactants may be used diluted or undiluted and it has been found convenient to use a concentration of from 0.2 to 5.0 moles/l, the best yields being obtained at concentrations of from 1.0 to 3.0 moles/l. Sulfonamide formation takes place over the entire alkaline range; suitable pH's are from 7 to 9 with pH's between 8 and 8.5 giving the best reaction. Sulfonamide formation is satisfactory over a temperature range of from -40.degree. to +40.degree. C, the best yields being obtained at temperatures ranging from -20.degree. to +20.degree. C, and in a preferred embodiment the temperatures are maintained between -5.degree. and +5.degree. C. The time taken for the sulfonamide to form depends to a marked degree, particularly in two-phase systems, on the intensity with which the components are mixed, the shortest reaction times being ensured when the stirrer blade or segment is positioned at the boundary between the two phases of the reaction mixture.
The amidosulfocarboxylic acid ester may be isolated by conventional working-up methods and converted to the amidosulfocarboxylic acid by known saponification methods.
In a preferred embodiment, however, the amidosulfocarboxylic acid ester is not isolated but is directly saponified by the addition of further amine, alkaline, metal hydroxide or alkaline earth metal hydroxide. Temperatures of from 60.degree. to 100.degree. C are required for this operation, the best yields being obtained at temperatures of from 75.degree. to 85.degree. C. Saponification takes place with satisfactory yields over the entire alkaline pH range, the reaction times being particularly short under strongly alkaline conditions. The amine, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide may be present in an excess of up to 100% molar, the best results being obtained at an excess of from 10 to 20%.
The amidosulfocarboxylic acids obtained after acidification of the amidosulfocarboxylic acid salts with commercial mineral acids may then be isolated by conventional working-up methods and provide the corrosion inhibitors of the invention in a simple manner when neutralized with the said organic or inorganic bases.
As stated above, the alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts of the amidosulfocarboxylic acids may be primarily formed during ester saponification. The salts with organic amines may be readily prepared by taking free amidosulfocarboxylic acid and mixing into it the stoichiometric amount or a superstoichiometric amount of the appropriate amine.
In this case it is usually necessary to warm and stir the mixture until the salt-forming reaction begins. Thorough stirring and, if necessary, effective cooling must be employed to prevent the temperature of the mixture from rising too high on account of the heat of neutralization generated. Particularly strong heat generation may be avoided by preheating the amidosulfocarboxylic acid to about 50.degree. C and then adding the amine thereto in small portions with stirring, each portion being added only when the temperature has begun to sink, after the addition of the previous portion, below the preferred average temperature level of about 50.degree. C.
The concentrations at which the anticorrosive agents are used depend on the nature of the liquids which will come into contact with the iron or iron-containing metal.
Applications of this kind are, for example, refrigerating and hydraulic liquids, water-soluble metalworking and machining liquids free from mineral oils, metalworking and machining emulsions, drilling fluids, grinding and polishing emulsions or dispersions, and metal cleaners of various kinds. Other liquids are anticorrosive surface treating agents such as anticorrosive emulsions and water-based passivating solutions. The agents may also be added to process waters in the chemical industry and other industries in which such water contacts iron and steel.
Depending on the application, the salts of amidosulfocarboxylic acids to be used according to the invention are employed in concentrations of from 0.5 to 5.0% by weight or in some cases more, based on the particular liquid medium being treated.

EXAMINATION OF THE PRODUCTS OF THE INVENTION
a. Herbert Corrosion Test
The anticorrosive effect of an aqueous solution consisting of 1% of active ingredient and water of 10.degree. German hardness (10.degree. dH) is illustrated in the Herbert test system adopted in the metalworking and machining industry. This test involves a standardized cast iron plate and standardized steel chips having a length of 5 mm and available from Alfred Herbert, Coventry, England. Prior to carrying out the test, the square plate measuring 100 .times. 100 .times. 5 mm is carefully ground on a belt grinder using a corundum emery belt grade 120 and is then washed with white spirit and ethanol and dried with a clean cloth. The steel chips provided with the test kit and obtained under standardized conditions from a 0.40% carbon steel are then heaped onto the prepared cast iron plate by means of a suitable metal or plastic spoon having the capacity of a normal teaspoon to form 4 heaps located at equal distances from each other and from the edges of the plate. The heaps should be spread out into a single layer with the chips as close to each other as possible.
The solutions or emulsions to be tested for corrosion inhibition are dripped onto the chips by means of a graduated pipette in such an amount that the liquid reaching the cast iron plate is just prevented from spreading by the chips. After standing for 24 hours in an atmosphere of 70% relative humidity, the chips are tipped from the plate. The contours of the dried aqueous medium are distinctly visible on the plate. Depending on the anti-corrosive properties of the liquid, rust marks of various sizes are visible at the points of contact between the chips and the plate, and may even have formed an uninterrupted rust layer. The percentage area of rust may be assessed by eye.
b. Cast Iron Filter Test
Another corrosion test is the cast iron filter test. This involves the use of a Petri dish having an internal diameter of about 10 cm and a fitting cover. A black ribbon round filter is placed in the Petri dish. From 5 to 10 g of coarse cast iron chips GG 20 (DIN 1691) are distributed over the filter with a suitable spoon to give a uniform circle in the center of the filter, the periphery of this circle being at a distance of about 1.5 cm from the edge of the filter. The chips have a length of about 5-8 mm and must be prepared from clean cast iron GG 20 without the use of drilling oil or other cooling lubricants. All fine particles must be sieved off.
5 ml of the solution or emulsion to be tested for corrosion inhibition properties are evenly spread over the chips using a graduated pipette. The pH of the test liquid is noted, since this is an important factor for assessment. It may be adjusted to a specific standard value, for example 8.5. Following wetting of the chips, the cover is placed on the dish, which is then left to stand for 2 hours under normal laboratory conditions at from 23.degree. to 25.degree. C and about 70% relative humidity. The cover is then removed and the filter is quickly freed from the chips by placing it face-down on tap water. It is immediately sprayed and impregnated with an indicator solution of the following composition:
1 g of potassium hexacyanoferrate (III)
30 g of common salt
1 l of water.
The indicator is then allowed to act on the filter for 17 sec. in the air. The filter is then carefully rinsed with running drinking water and dried in air in a moderately warm place. This procedure results in brownish-yellow, yellow and/or bluish-green spots of various strength according to the anticorrosive properties of the medium, the brownish-yellow or yellow spots indicating poor anticorrosive properties. Optimum properties are indicated by the lack of any brownish-yellow or yellow spots with at the most only traces of pale bluish-green spots being present. The colorations are fast and the filters can therefore be used for documentation purposes. Grading may be as follows:
very poor: large spots of strong color, mainly yellowish-brown;
poor: large spots of strong color consisting of about equal proportions of yellowish-brown and bluish-green;
fair: spots of medium size and of paler color consisting of about equal proportions of yellow and bluish-green;
good: very pale spots of pin-head size, mainly bluish-green;
very good: no spots or at the most very few, very small spots of a pale bluish-green.
c. Foaming Behavior
The foaming behavior may be tested according to DIN 53,902 "Bestimmung des Schaumvermogens und der Schaumbestandigkeit" ("Determination of foamability and resistance to foaming"). The simplified test method is sufficient, in which the plunger holding the perforated plate is uniformly moved up and down by hand 30 times in 30 sec. and then carefully removed. The volume of the foam is read off in ml from the graduated foam cylinder after 1, 5 and 10 minutes. It is important to note the temperature, concentration and water hardness.
The following products were compared to illustrate the differences in effect in the above test methods (a) to (c):
Triethanolamine salts of:
1. N-(2-ethyl-n-hexyl)-3-amidosulfopropionic acid (1)
2. N-(3-phenyl-n-butyl)-3-amidosulfopropionic acid (2)
3. N-(phenylhexyl)-3-amidosulfopropionic acid (3) (isomer mixture) 4. N-benzyl-3-amidosulfopropionic acid (4)
5. N-(2-phenylethyl)-3-amidosulfopropionic acid (5)
6. N-(2-methyl-n-butyl)-3-amidosulfopropionic acid (6)
7. N-(2-methyl-n-but-3-ynyl)-3-amidosulfopropionic acid (7)
8. N-phenyl-3-amidosulfopropionic acid (8)
9. N,N-(di-2-ethyl-n-hexyl)-3-amidosulfopropionic acid (9)
10. N,N-(di-n-butyl)-3-amidosulfopropionic acid (10)
11. Oleate (11)
12. Oleoyl sarcoside (12)
13. Sodium salt of C.sub.13-15 sulfonamido acetic acid (13)
14. Phenylsulfonylamidocaproic acid (14).
The test results are listed in the following Table. The water used had a hardness of 10.degree. dH. The pH was adjusted to 8.5 by means of triethanolamine in the case of the triethanolamine salts and by means of caustic soda in the case of the sodium salt (12). It should be noted that the cast iron filter test is generally more sensitive and that the results of both tests do not always agree. However, good to very good results in both tests usually indicate good behavior in industrial practice.
Of the agents of the invention (1-10), all show excellent non-foaming properties and the substances 1, 3 and 9 also show good to very good anticorrosive properties. They are superior to the comparative substances 11 to 14 of the prior art in this combination of properties. However, the agents 2, 5 and 10 of the invention also indicate that even though they require a somewhat higher concentration for good anticorrosive effect they may nevertheless, on account of their inherent low-foaming properties, be of advantage over the comparative products when used in industrial recipes. The other agents of the invention (4, 6, 7 and 8) of poor anticorrosive properties merely demonstrate very low-foaming properties but would seem either not to have the optimum chemical structure or not to possess the optimum molecular weight for the formation of an anticorrosive adsorption layer on the metal surface.
