Alkanolamine salts of amide acids having the formula: ##STR1## in which the circle represents a single nucleous aromatic ring or a monocyclic or bicyclic aliphatic ring system in each case with 5 or 6 carbon atoms per ring in which R.sup.1 represents an isoalkyl radical with the longest chain of 6 to 8 carbon atoms and a total of 8 to 12 carbon atoms; R.sup.2 represents a radical alkylene-X wherein the alkylene chain is a branched or straight chain and contains 1 to 4 carbon atoms; X represents OR.sup.3, O(C.sub.2 H.sub.4 O).sub.n -R.sup.3, O(C.sub.3 H.sub.6 O).sub.n -R.sup.3, NR.sup.3 R.sup.3, CN, CONH.sub.2, and COOR.sup.3 ; R.sup.3 represents hydrogen or C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl; n is an integer of 1 to 4; and wherein the carboxyl and carbonamide groups in said formula are bonded to non-olefinic carbon atoms and arranged in adjacent positions. The use of these salts as corrosion inhibitors in aqueous systems is also disclosed.

Alkanolamine salts of cyclic amide acids and their use as metal

Products which have been obtained by reacting an acid of the formula I ##STR1## where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine or alkyl or alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, but the sum of the carbon atoms of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is not greater than 7 and preferably not greater than 3, A is a benzene, naphthalene or anthracene radical or a biphenyl structure, such as a diphenyl, diphenylmethane, diphenyl ether, diphenyl sulfide, diphenyl sulfoxide or diphenyl sulfone radical, R.sup.3 is hydrogen, alkyl of not more than 4 carbon atoms, .beta.-cyanoethyl or hydroxyalkyl of 2 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sup.4 is hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, alkyl or alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, hydroxyl or carboxyl and X is --SO.sub.2 -- or --CO--, with an amine of the formula II ##STR2## where R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 -hydroxyalkyl and/or ##STR3## R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 being hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 -hydroxyalkyl and n being an integer from 2 to 4, in the ratio, expressed in terms of equivalents, of from 1:1 to 1:4, and corrosion inhibitors which contain these products, with or without the admixture of an alkanolamine/boric acid reaction product.
