Original application Mar. 3, 1958, Ser. No. 718,391 Divided and this application Nov. 23, 1959, Ser. No. 854,553 -CH2CH2CH 15 Claims. (C. 252-8.55) CH-CH2 O B This application is a division of Serial No. 718,391, CHs filed March 3, 1958. This invention relates to esters of cyclic amidines of -CH-CH-CH,- the formula gh, CHis O 15 -bH-bH In general, the amidine esters are prepared by reacts o-o-c- ing a hydroxyaliphatic cyclic amidine ()-ROH with less where (A) and (B) are cyclic amidine-containing radicals, than a stoichiometric amount of a polycarboxylic acid to for example, imidazoline and tetrahydropyrimidine radi form a half ester cals (hereafter referred to as “amidine esters'). More 20 particularly, this invention relates to esters wherein. A contains one type of cyclic amidine ring and B contains (a)-R-O C-Z-COH the same or another type not selected in A. This inven which is subsequently reacted with an amidine forming tion also relates to a process of preparing these com polyamine to form the amidine ester pounds which comprises reacting a hydroxy-containing 25 O cyclic amidine with less than a stoichiometric amount of a polycarboxylic acid to form a partial ester and then re Q-R-O-)-2- acting this partial ester with a polyamine capable of form More specifically, the corrosion inhibiting aspect of this ing a second amidine ring of the same or different type.
