Abstract:
1-(benzyloxy)-1-oxopropan-2-aminium 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (BOPAMS) and 4-(benzyloxy)-4-oxobutan-1-aminium 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (BOBAMS) were prepared and confirmed through spectroscopic methods (FT-Infrared, Carbon 13-NMR and Proton-NMR). BOPAMS and BOBAMS were evaluated as unharmful inhibitors for aluminium corrosion. The anti-corrosive properties, inhibition mechanism, inhibitor-metal adsorption behaviour and corrosion inhibition efficiency were evaluated by employing approaches like gravimetric, potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). FT-IR demonstrated functional groups that are responsible for the binding of BOPAMS and BOBAMS with surfaces of aluminium. BOPAMS and BOBAMS resemble a semi-chemisorption/physisorption mechanism, obeying Langmuir binding model. The mechanism of binding adopted by BOPAMS and BOBAMS was proposed.

02:54Ions as Acids and Bases
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:
01:01Acid Halides to Carboxylic Acids: Hydrolysis
As shown below, the mechanism involves a nucleophilic attack by water at the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. This is followed by the reformation of the carbon–oxygen π bond along with the departure of a halide ion. A final proton transfer step yields carboxylic...
01:19Acid Halides to Alcohols: LiAlH4 Reduction
The mechanism proceeds in three steps. First, the nucleophilic hydride ion attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acid halide to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Next, the carbonyl group is re-formed, and the halide ion departs as a leaving group, generating an aldehyde. A second nucleophilic attack by the hydride yields an alkoxide ion, which, upon protonation, gives a primary alcohol as...
01:07Acid Halides to Amides: Aminolysis
In the first step of the aminolysis mechanism, the amine attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acyl chloride to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the second step, the carbonyl group is re-formed with the elimination of a chloride...
