Abstract
The present invention is directed to methods for preparing quaternary ammonium salts, particularly pyridinium and quinolinium salts. By preparing these salts in a solvent selected from the group consisting of propylene glycols, propylene glycol ethers and mixtures thereof, the production of undesirable by-products and contamination of the product with undesirable solvents are minimized, if not eliminated. Using the preparation methods of the present invention low hazard corrosion inhibitors and aqueous cleaning solutions using these inhibitors may be prepared. In fact, by preparing dodecyl pyridinium bromide in dipropylene glycol methyl ether as the solvent, a particularly desirable corrosion inhibitor characterized by a low toxicity and a high flash point has been prepared. The present invention thus provides the safer corrosion inhibitors and cleaning solutions long sought by industrial cleaning services.
