     FIELD OF INVENTION 
     This invention relates newly developed multifunctional environmentally friendly macromolecular corrosion inhibitors utilize mainly the renewable and biobased raw material source. Most of the current corrosion inhibitors used in the industrial applications are not necessarily environmentally friendly and are based on petroleum based chemicals involving organic and inorganic species. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention is directed to multifunctional macromolecular corrosion inhibitors and to fluid compositions containing minor amounts thereof. Multifunctional properties of this inhibitor include but not limited to rust inhibition, copper corrosion inhibition, and water and oil separating (demulsifier) capabilities. Fluids include but not limited to lubricants, biolubricants, bio-oils, bio-based oils, synthetic lubricants, fuels, bio-fuel, greases, bio-greases, aviation fuels, kerosene, gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, adhesives, and paints etc. 
     Corrosion in general terms is the degradation of a material caused by an aggressive environment such as water, air (oxygen), chemicals (acids, bases), organic liquids, oil, and gas, etc. Materials subject to corrosion include metals and their alloys, plastics, paints and coatings, concrete, or composites. Corrosion is a major concern in the durability of these materials, impacting safety, causing environmental damage, and incurring enormous repair and replacement costs. This is a major national concern. According to one United States federal government study in 2002, the total estimated cost of corrosion is a staggering $276 billion (approximately 3.1% of GDP) (Report FHWA-RD-01-156). If indirect costs are included, this increases to 6% of GDP ($552 billion), because of loss of productivity, delays, material failures, etc. It does not appear that newer studies exist. The direct effects of metal corrosion are (a) loss of mechanical strength and structural failure, (b) perforation of fluid transmission pipes, storage tanks, and ships, leading to leakage of harmful fluids into the environment, (c) contamination of fluid due to leaching of metal species from vessels&#39; inner surfaces, (d) mechanical damage causing failure of structures, engines, pumps, and valves, and (e) events hazardous to human life due to excessive structural failure. Corrosion inhibitors play a key role in mitigating some of these corrosion issues. Corrosion inhibitors are typically added or treated (0.001% to 5%) to the corroding materials (metals, lubricants, fuels, plastics, oils and gas, adhesives, greases, paints and coating materials, cement, water reservoir, etc.) to protect against the corrosion from the surrounding environments like fluid, water, oxygen, moisture, weather, temperature, or their combinations, etc. 
     Environmental risks associated with corrosion inhibitors are forcing to seek more environmentally friendly products. Some products are also increasingly subject to restrictions by government agencies in the USA and other countries. These harmful substances can enter the environment directly when formulated fluids like lubricants come in contact with water, soil, or air, via leakage or spillage from industrial equipment, ships, automobiles, engines, earth-moving equipment, drilling, metal working fluids, hydropower plants, hydraulics and turbines (wind, water, steam, aviation), transformers, chain saw, gears, elevators, wire and ropes, two-stroke engines, etc. Corrosion inhibitors are added to fluids based on petroleum, synthetic and/or bio-oils, bio-based oils like lubricants, greases, adhesives, and fuels; and paints and coating materials. Thus, there is need to replace harmful compounds with environmentally-friendly and sustainable corrosion inhibitors without sacrificing performance. The present invention is a new material composition technology,  M acromolecular  C orrosion  In hibitors (McIn), described herein. McIn is envisioned as a disruptive technology that adds value to the supply chains of multiple market sectors.

     A “spiro cycloalkyl” group is a cycloalkyl group which shares one ring carbon atom with a carbon atom in an alkylene group or alkyl group, wherein the carbon atom being shared in the alkyl group is not a terminal carbon atom. 
     Analogous substitutions may be made to alkenyl and alkynyl groups to produce, for example, aminoalkenyls, aminoalkynyls, amidoalkenyls, amidoalkynyls, iminoalkenyls, iminoalkynyls, thioalkenyls, thioalkynyls, carbonyl-substituted alkenyls or alkynyls. 
     The definition of each expression, e.g. alkyl, m, n, etc., when it occurs more than once in any structure, is intended to be independent of its definition elsewhere in the same structure unless otherwise indicated expressly or by the context. 
     The term “selenoalkyl” is art recognized and includes an alkyl group having a substituted seleno group attached thereto. Exemplary “selenoethers” which may be substituted on the alkyl are selected from one of —Se-alkyl, —Se-alkenyl, —Se-alkynyl, and —Se—(CH 2 ) m —R61, m, and R61 are defined above. 
     The terms triflyl, tosyl, mesyl, and nonaflyl are art-recognized and refer to trifluoromethanesulfonyl, p-toluenesulfonyl, methanesulfonyl, and nonafluorobutanesulfonyl groups, respectively. The terms triflate, tosylate, mesylate, and nonaflate are art-recognized and refer to a trifluoromethanesulfonate ester, p-toluenesulfonate ester, methanesulfonate ester, and nonafluorobutanesulfonate ester functional groups and molecules that contain said groups, respectively. 
     The abbreviations Me, Et, Ph, Tf, Nf, Ts, and Ms are art recognized and represent methyl, ethyl, phenyl, trifluoromethanesulfonyl, nonafluorobutanesulfonyl, p-toluenesulfonyl and methanesulfonyl, respectively. A more comprehensive list of the abbreviations utilized by organic chemists of ordinary skill in the art appears in the first issue of each volume of the  Journal of Organic Chemistry;  this list is typically presented in a table entitled Standard List of Abbreviations. 
     The abbreviations OSA is for octenyl succinic anhydride, DDSA is for dodecenyl succinic anhydride, ODSA is for octadecenyl succinic anhydride, and PIMA is for polyisobutylene succinic anhydride preferably with low molecular weights (300-1500 molecular weight), and OASA is for oleic acid succinic anhydride. 
     The term an isomer is understood a molecule with the same molecular formula as another molecule, but with a different chemical structure. Isomers contain the same number of atoms of each element but have different arrangements of their atoms. Isomers do not necessarily share similar properties unless they also have the same functional groups. In structural isomers, sometimes referred to as constitutional isomers, the atoms, and functional groups are joined together in different ways. The chain isomers whereby hydrocarbon chains have variable amounts of branching; position isomers, which deals with the position of a functional group on a chain; and functional group isomerism, in which one functional group is split up into different ones. All such isomers, as well as mixtures thereof, are intended to be included in this invention. 
     Certain monomeric subunits of the present invention may exist in particular geometric or stereoisomeric forms. In addition, and other compositions of the present invention may also be optically active. The present invention contemplates all such compounds, including cis- and trans-isomers, R- and S-enantiomers, diastereomers, ( D )-isomers, ( L )-isomers, the racemic mixtures thereof, and other mixtures thereof, as falling within the scope of the invention. Additional asymmetric carbon atoms may be present in a substituent such as an alkyl group. All such isomers, as well as mixtures thereof, are intended to be included in this invention. 
     If, for instance, a particular enantiomer of a compound of the present invention is desired, it may be prepared by asymmetric synthesis, or by derivation with a chiral auxiliary, where the resulting diastereomeric mixture is separated and the auxiliary group cleaved to provide the pure desired enantiomers. Alternatively, where the molecule contains a basic functional group, such as amino, or an acidic functional group, such as carboxyl, diastereomeric salts are formed with an appropriate optically active acid or base, followed by resolution of the diastereomers thus formed by fractional crystallization or chromatographic means well known in the art, and subsequent recovery of the pure enantiomers. 
     It will be understood that “substitution” or “substituted with” includes the implicit proviso that such substitution is in accordance with permitted valence of the substituted atom and the substituent, and that the substitution results in a stable compound, e.g., which does not spontaneously undergo transformation such as by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, or other reaction. 
     The term “substituted” is also contemplated to include all permissible substituents of organic compounds. In a broad aspect, the permissible substituents include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, aromatic and nonaromatic substituents of organic compounds. Illustrative substituents include, for example, those described herein above. The permissible substituents may be one or more and the same or different for appropriate organic compounds. For purposes of this invention, the heteroatoms such as nitrogen may have hydrogen substituents and/or any permissible substituents of organic compounds described herein which satisfy the valences of the heteroatoms. This invention is not intended to be limited in any manner by the permissible substituents of organic compounds. 
     For purposes of this invention, the chemical elements are identified in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 67th Ed., 1986-87, inside cover. The term “hydrocarbon” is art recognized and includes all permissible compounds having at least one hydrogen and one carbon atom. For example, permissible hydrocarbons include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, aromatic and nonaromatic organic compounds that may be substituted or unsubstituted. 
     The phrase “protecting group” is art recognized and includes temporary substituents that protect a potentially reactive functional group from undesired chemical transformations. Examples of such protecting groups include esters of carboxylic acids, silyl ethers of alcohols, and acetals and ketals of aldehydes and ketones, respectively. The field of protecting group chemistry has been reviewed. Greene et al.,  Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis  2 nd  ed., Wiley, New York, (1991). 
     The phrase “hydroxyl-protecting group” is art recognized and includes those groups intended to protect a hydroxyl group against undesirable reactions during synthetic procedures and includes, for example, benzyl or other suitable esters or ethers groups known in the art. 
     The term “electron-withdrawing group” is recognized in the art and denotes the tendency of a substituent to attract valence electrons from neighboring atoms, i.e., the substituent is electronegative with respect to neighboring atoms. A quantification of the level of electron-withdrawing capability is given by the Hammett sigma (σ) constant. This well known constant is described in many references, for instance, March,  Advanced Organic Chemistry  251-59, McGraw Hill Book Company, New York, (1977). The Hammett constant values are generally negative for electron donating groups (σ (P)=−0.66 for NH 2 ) and positive for electron withdrawing groups (σ (P)=0.78 for a nitro group), σ (P) indicating para substitution. Exemplary electron-withdrawing groups include nitro, acyl, formyl, sulfonyl, trifluoromethyl, cyano, chloride, and the like. Exemplary electron-donating groups include amino, methoxy, and the like. 
     Contemplated equivalents of the or oligomers, subunits and other compositions described above include such materials which otherwise correspond thereto, and which have the same general properties thereof, wherein one or more simple variations of substituents are made which do not adversely affect the efficacy of such molecule to achieve its intended purpose of the present invention. In general, the methods of the present invention may be methods illustrated in the general reaction schemes as, for example, described below, or by modifications thereof, using readily available starting materials, reagents and conventional synthesis procedures. In these reactions, it is also possible to make use of variants which are in themselves known but are not mentioned here.

     As used here, the terms “lubricants” and “lubricant oils” can be used interchangeably. Examples of lubricants suitable for use in the compositions and methods of the present invention include, but are not limited to: i) petroleum based oils (Group I, II and III), ii) synthetic oils (Group IV, V) and iii) biolubricant oils (vegetable oils such as canola, soybean, high oleic canola, high oleic soybean oil, corn oil, castor oil, jatropha, etc.). Group I oils, as defined herein are solvent refined base oils. Group II oils, as defined herein are modern conventional base oils made by hydrocracking and early wax isomerization, or hydroisomerization technologies and have significantly lower levels of impurities than Group I oils. Group III oils, as defined herein are unconventional base oils. Groups I-III differ in impurities, and viscosity index as is shown in Kramer et al. “The Evolution of Base Oil Technology”  Turbine Lubrication in the  21 st    Century  ASTM STP #1407 W. R. Herguth and T. M. Wayne, Eds., American Society for Testing and Materials, West Conshohocken, Pa., 2001 the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Group IV oils as defined herein are “synthetic” lubricant oils, including, for example, poly-alpha olefins (PAOs). Biolubricants, as defined herein, are lubricants which contain at least 51% biomaterial (see Scott Fields, Environmental Health Perspectives, volume 111, number 12, September 2003, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference). Other examples of lubricant oils can be found in Melvyn F. Askew “Biolubricants-Market Data Sheet” IENICA, August 2004 (as part of the IENICA work stream of the IENICA-INFORRM project); Taylor et al. “Engine lubricant Trends Since 1990” paper accepted for publication in the Proceedings I. Mech. E. Part J, Journal of Engineering Tribology, 2005 (Vol. 219 p 1-16); and Desplanches et al. “Formulating Tomorrow&#39;s Lubricants” page 49-52 of The Paths to Sustainable Development, part of special report published in October 2003 by Total; the entire contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference. Biolubricants are often but not necessarily, based on vegetable oils. Vegetable derived, for example, from rapeseed, sunflower, palm, and coconut can be used as biolubricants. They can also be synthetic esters which may be partly derived from renewable resources. They can be made from a wider variety of natural sources including solid fats and low grade or waste materials such as tallows. Biolubricants in general offer rapid biodegradability and low environmental toxicity. 
     As used herein, Group I, II and III oils are petroleum base stock oil. The petroleum industry differentiates their oil based on viscosity index and groups them as Group I, II and III. The synthetic oils are Group IV and Group V. Synthetic oils include hydrocarbon oil. Hydrocarbon oils include oils such as polymerized and interpolymerized olefins (polybutylenes, polypropylenes, propylene isobutylene copolymers, ethylene-olefin copolymers, and ethylene-alpha olefin copolymers, for example). Poly alpha olefin (PAO) oil base stocks are commonly used synthetic hydrocarbon oil. By way of example, PAOs derived from C 8 , C 10 , C 12 , C 14  olefins or mixtures thereof may be utilized. In certain embodiments, PAO is a bio-based oil. In certain embodiments, synthetic oils are polyolesters for example diesters, polyolesters such as neopentyl glycols (NPGs), trimethylolpropanes (TMPs), pentaerythritols (PEs), and dipentaerythritols (DiPEs). In other embodiments, synthetic oils include monoesters and trimellitates. In other embodiments, synthetic oils include polyalkylene glycols (PAGs).

     The performance of corrosion inhibitor can be evaluated using ASTM D130 and ASTM D665 test methods for fluids like lubricants and fuels. ASTM D130 test method is suited to test the performance corrosion inhibitors for copper metals whereas ASTM D665 is of steel materials. The Copper Strip Tarnish Test assesses the relative degree of corrosivity of petroleum products, including aviation fuels, automotive gasoline, natural gasoline, solvents, kerosene, diesel fuel, distillate fuel oil, lubricating oil and other products. A polished copper strip is immersed in 30 mL of the sample at elevated temperature. After the test period, the strip is examined for evidence of corrosion and a classification number from 1-4 is assigned based on a comparison with the ASTM Copper Strip Corrosion Standards. The most typical test run is for 3 hours@100° C. However, time and temperature can vary according to product type and specification. Results are reported as a number followed by a letter according to the ASTM chart, a rating of 1a and 1b being an excellent corrosion inhibitor and a rating of 4 is a poor performer. 
     The efficacy of the corrosion inhibitor of representative samples of the present invention was tested by adding 500 ppm in canola oil, Group II oil and polyolester (synthetic oil, Group IV).

     In a similar way, corrosion inhibitors of this invention were also tested using ASTM D665 protocol. In this method, 300 ml of fluid treated with corrosion inhibitor and 30 ml of standard synthetic sea water are mixed thoroughly at 60° C. and a standard polished, cylindrical steel rod are immersed in the fluid for 4 hours. The rod will be examined for a pass or fail the test. If there is no sign of rust on the surface of the steel rod, a rating of Pass is given to the product. The products of this invention show no rust corrosion for steel rods in canola oil if they are treated with 0.4-0.5 weight % of the oil. 
     The ASTM D 1401 test method was used to study water separability of the present invention. In this method is a known amount of water and oil treated with the demulsifier, 40 ml were poured in to a graduated jar of a specified diameter. The sample was kept at a constant temperature (40° C.). Both oil and water were stirred using a motorized stirrer at a specified specific rotation speed of 1500 rpm. The time taken for the two separate was measured in minutes, the faster the separation better is the demulsibility. The results are quoted as ml-ml-emulsion (time, min). For example, 40-40-0 (30) means it took 30 minutes to separate the two with no emulsion. The sample of the present invention treated at the same level for corrosion inhibitor. For example, canola was treated at 0.5% with the sample of the present invention whereas Group II oil was tested at 0.05%. 
     While this invention has been particularly shown and described with references to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention encompassed by the appended claims.
