If a solvent is used, this may be e.g. water, an aromatic hydrocarbon such as toluene; dioxan; a ketone such as 2-butanone; or an alcohol e.g. isopropanol; each optionally in admixture with water.

M
2 and M 3 have their previous significance. Such compounds of formula I are produced by the said hydrolysis followed by substitution of some or all of the acidic hydrogen atoms so obtained, by cations of the salt-forming bases, hereinbefore defined.
Reactants of formula II include itaconic acid, di-methyl itaconate, but-1-en-2,4-dicarboxylic acid, diethyl but-1-ene-2,4-dicarboxylate, hex-1-en-2,4,6-tri-carboxylic acid, triethyl-hex-l-en-2,4,6-tricarboxylate, but-l-en-2,3,4-tricarboxylic acid, trimeth but-l-en-1,3,4-tricarboxylate, 2-hydroxymethyl acrylic acid and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylic IM A -4acid.
Reactants of formula III include phosphorous acid, di-ethyl phosphite, di-methyl phosphite, di-butyl phosphite, di-phenyl phosphite, ethylene phosphite and sodium hydrogen phosphite.
The compounds of formula I are effective in inhibiting deposition of scale and precipitation of salts from aqueous solutions. The compounds are particularly effective in combatting scale-forming salts derived from calcium, magnesium, barium, or strontium cations and anions such as sulphate carbonate, hydroxide, phosphate or silicate. The 0 compounds of formula I are especially effective in inhibiting deposition of calcium sulphate, magnesium hydroxide, calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate scale.
a The compounds of formula I also function as dispersing agents and/or antifoulants towards S common deposits found in water used in commercial plants e.g. industrial boilers, cooling water systems, gas scrubbing plants and aqueous slurries found in china clay operations.
Examples of such deposits are iron oxides, calcium and magnesium deposits e.g. their carbonates, sulphates, oxalates and phosphates, and silt, alumina, silicates and clays.
0 0 The compounds of formula I also provide excellent inhibition against corrosion of metals, especially ferrous metals, in contact with water.
Still further, the compounds of formula I are useful for inhibiting the thick velvety coating (sealing smut) which can be deposited over the surface of aluminium during the sealing of S anodically produced oxide layers on the aluminium, using hot or boiling water.
The products of the process of the present invention are obtained as solutions. For the purpose of isolation they may be subjected to partial or complete evaporation under reduced pressure. The reaction products may be used as the telomeric products in the method of the invention as described hereinafter.
Salt forms of the compounds of formula I in which some or all of the acidic hydrogens in the compounds of formula I have been replaced by the cations derived from the salt forming bases hereinbefore defined, may be prepared by mixing an aqueous or alcoholic solution of the compound of formula I with an aqueous or alcoholic solution of the compound of formula I with an aqueous or alcoholic solution containing an amount of the requisite base in excess of, equal to or less than the stoichiometric requirement. The solvent may then be removed by evaporation. In many of the water-containing systems where inhibitors of this invention would prove useful, the water is sufficiently alkaline to effect neutralisation and only the product of the invention need be added.
The present invention also provides a method of treating an aqueous system comprising adding to the system a telomer compound of formula I.
In practice, the amount of the compound of formula I used to treat the aqueous system So o may vary according to the protective function which the compound is required to perform.
o For example, for corrosion-inhibiting protective treatments, optionally with simultaneous 03′ 0°I scale-inhibiting treatments, the amount of the compound of formula I added to the aqueous “0 0- system may range from 0.1 to 50’000 ppm (0.00001 to 5 by weight), preferably from 1 to 500 ppm (0.0001 to 0.05 by weight), based on the weight of the aqueous system.
For solely anti-scale treatments, the amount of the compound of formula I added is conveniently from 1 to 200, preferably 1 to 30 ppm, based on the aqueous system. For o’°o most relatively dilute aqueous dispersions to be treated, the amount of compound of o formula I to be added as dispersant/antifoulant is conveniently from 1 to 200 ppm, o o0 preferably 2 to 20 ppm by weight. Aqueous slurries to be treated, however, may require So much higher levels of compound of formula I e.g. from 0.1 to 5 by weight on total 00 0 solids which can be as high as 70 by weight of the total aqueous system.
When used to inhibit the deposition of scale and the precipitation of salts from aqueous 0, Oo solutions, the compounds of formula I, or salts thereof, are particularly effective in inhibiting deposition of scale-forming salts derived from calcium, magnesium, barium or strontium cations, and anions such as sulphate, carbonate, hydroxide, phosphate and silicate.

0 The partly-aqueons systems treated by the method of the present invention may also be S aqueous surface-coating compositions, e.g. emulsion paints and aqueous powder coatings for metallic substrates.
The aqeous surface-coating composition may be, e.g. a paint such as a styrene-acrylic copolmyer emulsion paint, a resin, latex, or other aqueous based polymer surface-coating systems, to coat a metal substrate. The inhibitor composition used according to the invention may be employed to prevent flash rusting of the metal substrate during application of the surface coating and to prevent subsequent corrosion during use of the coated metal.
In aqueous surface-coating compositions treated by the method of the invention the inhibitor composition may be used singly, or in admixture with other additives, e.g. known corrosion inhibitors, biocides, emulsifiers and/or pigments.

In particular, the method of the present invention may be applied to disperse deposits in an aqueous system containing 5 to 1500 ppm by weight of calcium ion as well as suspended solids. This aspect of the present invention finds particular use in the china clay industry in which it is important to obtain slurries which will not appreciably separate out during transportation from the clay pits to the user. At high concentrations of suspended solids in these slurries, the compounds of formula I have been found to disperse china clay and to be of value as “in-process” dispersants and as grinding aids.
The following Examples further illustrate the present invention. All parts and percentages are by weight, unless stated otherwise.
Example 1: To 12.1 parts by weight of di-ethylpiosphite are added, separately, 70 parts by weight of diethyl but-l-en-2,4-dicarboxylate and 5.75 parts by weight of di-tert-butylperoxide, dropwise, over 3 hours, with stirring at 140 0 C. The temperature is maintained at 140 0 C for a further 2 hours after the additions are complete. Unreacted di-ethyl-phosphite is removed by distillation under reduced pressure up to 2000/130 Pa and the residual liquid is suspended in 400 parts by weight of concentrated hydrochloric acid, and the mixture heated under reflux conditions for 18 hours.

Air bubbling is used to increase the severity of the test conditions.
A volume of solution containing sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate is mixed with an equal volume of a solution containing calcium chloride and magnesium chloride which i already contains the test additive. The resulting test solution, through which air is bubbled at a contant rate, is stored at 70 0 C for 30 minutes. After this time, the solution is filtered and the calcium remaining in the filtrate is determined by EDTA titration.
Each test is carried out in duplicate, and the first test is a standard test which determines the actual Ca 2 concentration in the test.
