The reaction of acetylene with hypophosphorous acid in the presence of perbenzoic acid or tertiary butyl peroxide to give 1 ,2-diphosphino ethane was described by Nifantev et al in Zh Obstich Khim Vol 56 Pp 773-781 (1986) . The Authors state that the reaction product with two organic groups attached to the phosphorus was not obtained. This clearly implies that no polymeric material could be obtained by the method described.
Kneller et al (US 5 647 995) describe the preparation of homologues and substituted analogues of 1 ,2-diphosphino ethane by reacting hypophosphorous acid with higher alkynes and substituted alkynes . The preparation of mono and diphosphinates is described but no copolymers of acetylene with hypophosphorous acid containing more than 2 phosphorus atoms per molecule were prepared or described. Kneller et al also describe reacting the mono or diphosphinates with unsaturated carboxylic acids such as acrylic acid to make telomers which are useful in water treatment as scale inhibitors of calcium carbonate scale.
We have now discovered that contrary to the teaching of Nifantev et al, the reaction between hypophosphorous acid and alkynes can be used to prepare polymers with more than two alkylene groups and more than two phosphorus atoms . Such polymers are particularly useful as corrosion inhibitors and/or as intermediates, for the synthesis of a variety of water treatment agents, fire rεtardants, tanning agents and biocides. The reaction with acetylene proceeds with difficulty and requires relatively extreme conditions to obtain a high degree of polymerisation, however higher alkynes and substituted alkynes, containing 3 to 25 carbon atoms, react more readily.
In a first embodiment, the present invention provides a compound of the formula (I) :
0 O
R" P _ -CHRCHR'P — Js-R' " (I)
1 I OX OX wherein:
R and R' are each independently selected from hydrogen, a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, an alkyl, aryl or alkaryl group or a hydroxy - or carboxy - substituted alkyl, aryl or alkaryl group, provided that R and R' together have a total of less than 23 carbon atoms;
R" is hydrogen, or CHR = CR' or selected from the same categories as R" ' ;
R" ' is a group, or a polymeric chain comprising from 1 to 100,000 groups, each said group being derived from at least one ethylenically unsaturated compound wherein the double bond is activated by an adjacent electron-withdrawing group;
X is hydrogen or a cation or an alkyl group; and n is greater than 1 .
According to another embodiment our invention provides a method of producing a compound of the type described in the immediately-preceding paragraph, said method comprising the copolymerisation of hypophosphorous acid or a salt or ester of said acid with an acetylenic compound of formula RC≡CR' , where R and R' (which may be the same or different) are each selected from hydrogen, a hydroxy group, a carboxy group, an alkyl, aryl or alkaryl group or a hydroxy - or carboxy- substituted alkyl, aryl or alkaryl group having from 1 to 22 carbon atoms , so that R and R' together have from 0 to 25 carbon atoms , whereby in said formula (I) R" and R' " are each hydrogen and the average value of n is greater than one.
According to a further embodiment the invention provides the use of said polymer as a corrosion inhibitor and/or scale inhibitor in the treatment of a water system.
According to a fourth embodiment the invention provides a method of preparing a telomer which comprises reacting said polymer with an ethylenically unsaturated compound wherein the double bond is activated by an adjacent electron withdrawing group.
According to a fifth embodiment the invention provides a method of treating potentially corrosive and/or scale forming water systems which comprises adding a corrosion or scale inhibiting proportion of said polymer and/or said telomer to said system.
Preferably the reaction is carried out in a solvent capable of dissolving both reagents. Depending on the acetylenic compound, the solvent may be water or a polar organic solvent, typically in admixture, with aqueous hypophosphorous acid, eg: ethanol, dioxan, a water miscible glycol or glycol ether such as ethylene glycol or ethylene glycol monomethyl etner, ketones such as acetone or methyl isobutyl ketone, or diethyl formamide. The reaction also requires an initiator, which may preferably be a source of free radicals such as hydrogen peroxide, sodium persulphate, azo compounds such as azoisobutyronitrile, organic peroxides or a source of ultraviolet or ionising radiation.
The acetylenic compound may be acetylene itself, which may, for example, be bubbled through a solution of hypophosphorous acid or its salts. However good yields of higher polymers are not readily obtainable from acetylene itself due to its volatility, which may require conditions such as high pressure which are inconvenient or potentially hazardous. We therefore prefer to use less volatile acetylenic compounds, and especially alkynes and hydroxy or carboxy alkynes with 3 to 25 carbon atoms, such as propargyl alcohol, acetylene dicarboxylic acid or an alkyne having, preferably 3 to 20 carbon atoms such as 1-butyne, 2- butyne or a C12.u alkyne. It is also within the scope of the invention to use cyclic alkynes, eg: in which R and RI in the foregoing formula together with the acetylenic group form a cycloalkyne ring.
The reaction may be carried out at an elevated temperature, eg: 40 to 100°C preferably 50 to 70°C.
The proportions may be substantially equal or may comprise a small, eg: up to 20%, stoichiometric excess of either reagent but preferably of the hypophosphite. The reaction may be carried out under elevated, atmospheric or, preferably, reduced pressure.
The hypophosphorous reagent may be the acid or a soluble salt such as sodium, potassium or ammonium or an ester such as the methyl, ethyl or isopropyl ester.
The present invention further provides a polymer, of the formula (II) : O O
X p _-[_CH_CH,P τ~x (H)
OH OH
where X is hydrogen or a cation or alkyl group, n is from 1.05 to 100, e.g. : 1 .2 to 50, preferably 1.5 to 25 especially 2 to 20 more especially 3 to 15.
It is also possible to obtain polymers containing, e.g. :

units, especially when R is a bulky group e.g. : a phenyl group.
According to a further embodiment, the invention provides a compound comprising a telomer of the formula (III) :
O O
H -CRV2 CRV 2 i" p - HRCHR'-P-fe — fcRv 2 CRv 2 "f H (III)
I I ox ox
where X, R, R' have the same significance as before, at least one R\ in each monomer unit is a hydroxy, carboxy, sulpho, phosphono, amido, aceto, or aryl group or halogen, and each other Rv is independently selected from hydrogen, and C_.A alkyl, carboxyl, sulpho, phospiiono, hydroxyl groups, and carboxy, sulpho, phosphono or hydroxy substituted Cι-4 alkyl groups, (a + b) is from 5 to 200 and n is greater than 1.
The novel telomers may be prepared by co-polymerising said polymers with at least one monomer of formula Rf = C R2 V where Rv has the same significance as before, in the presence of a free radical initiator.
Preferred monomers include acrylic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, vinylsulphonic acid, vinyl phosphonic acid, vinylidene diphosphonic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, aconitic acid, mesaconic acid, citraconic acid, crotonic acid, isocrotonic acid, angelic acid, tiglic acid and the water soluble salts of the aforesaid acids.
The telomers may additionally comprise proportions, usually minor proportions , of styrene, styrene-p-sulphonic acid, 2-acrylamido-2- methylpropane sulphonic acid, vinyl alcohol, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride and/or acrylamide. The relative proportions of oligomer or polymer and the monomer may range from 1 : 1 to 1 : 1000, preferably from
1 :5 to 1 :500 especially 1 : 10 to 1 : 100, eg: 1 : 15 to 1 :50. The reaction is preferably carried out in aqueous solution and most preferably using water soluble salts of the monomers, eg: at a pH greater than 5 especially
6 to 8. The preferred concentrations of the reagents in the reaction mixture is typically 50 to 80% by weight total solids especially 50 to
70%. The reaction, like the preparation of the intermediate requires a free radical source such as hydrogen peroxide and preferably elevated temperatures, eg: 40 to 100°C.
At the higher concentrations higher temperatures, eg: 100 to 140°C more preferably 120 to 140°C may be required to maintain a pourable solution. The molecular weight of the product is typically up to 200,000. Usually the number of monomer groups per molecule is from 1 to 500, eg: 10 to 100. To prepare the telomers we prefer pH between 2 and 9 especially 2 to 6, eg: 2.5 to 4.
We do not exclude the presence of water miscible solvents. The solvent should contain sufficient water to dissolve the reagents to a substantial extent. The organic solvent may for example comprise methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, a water soluble oligomer of ethylene or propylene glycol such as diethylene glycol, a water soluble mono or di ether or ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether or diethylene glycol mono methyl ether, glycerol, a water soluble glyceryl ether, acetone, and/or dioxan. The requirement to dissolve the reagents in the same aqueous based solvent is the main limitation on choice of unsaturated reagent. In cases of difficulty it may be possible to carry out the reaction in anhydrous dioxan.
The reaction may optionally be carried out in a stream of an inert gas such as nitrogen.
The reaction may be carried out batch-wise, semi-continuously or continuously, eg: in a pipe reactor. The free radical source may all be added initially or, preferably, in a plurality of additions, or continuously or semi-continuously throughout the reaction. To maximise the yield of phosphonated product it is sometimes necessary to add the unsaturated reagent, continuously or intermittently during the reaction period to an aqueous solution of the phosphinate.
The products especially telomers comprising acrylate and/or maleate and/or proportions, usually minor, or vinyl sulphonate, vinyl phosphonate and/or vinylidine diphosphonate are valuable as corrosion inhibitors and scale inhibitors in the treatment of water systems including boiler water, cooling water, eg: in evaporative cooling systems, process water, water in central heating and air conditioning systems .
The products are effective in the presence of chlorine, chlorine dioxide, bromine, hypochlorite, hypobromite and other oxidising biocides. They are useful in treatment of desalination plant and for treating water used or produced in oil wells including injection water, produced water and water used for hydrostatic testing of pipelines.
The product are also effective as a "smut" inhibitor or sealant in the anodising of aluminium, as additives to oral hygiene preparations and dentifrices and as a setting retarder for cement or plaster.
The products also find application as deflocculants or dispersants for particulate inorganic substances (such as clays and calcium carbonate) and for other pigments, for cement and for soils in detergency.
The products are also effective as corrosion inhibitors for ferrous and non-ferrous metals (e.g. aluminium or galvanised steel) and as a surface treatment for aluminium in the preparation of lithographic plates.
They are also of value as detergent builders or auxiliary builders, eg: in conjunction with zeolites, or as metal chelating agents, eg: in metal extractions.
The products are effective for the inhibition of scale caused by metal carbonates and basic carbonates (particularly those of metals of Group IIA of the Periodic Classification) , as well as scale caused by carboxylates, fluorides, hydroxides, phosphates, phosphonates, silicates and sulphates . They may be used in aqueous based functional fluids such as hydraulic fluids, lubricants, cutting fluids and oilfield drilling muds .
In particular, the telomers of the invention may be used in squeeze treatment of oil wells. They are especially effective in preventing barium sulphate scale. For example in oil wells the hole is typically flushed out with aqueous surfactant to provide a water wettable surface and then impregnated with a solution of the inhibitor. The calcium salt may be formed in situ either by calcium in the formation, where the latter comprises limestone, or by prior, or subsequent, treatment of the hole with an aqueous calcium salt, eg: where the formation comprises sandstone.
Effective concentrations may typically range from 1 to 200ppm, eg: 1.5 to 20ppm, most preferably 2 to lOppm, may give useful corrosion protection. However, for oilfield scale prevention where barium sulphate is a problem, concentrations in the range 5 to 200, especially 8 to 25, eg: 10 to 20ppm, are preferred.
Products according to the invention may be used in combination with one another, and/or in conjunction with other water treatment agents including: surfactants , such as anionic surfactants (eg: Cι0 20 alkyl benzene sulphonates, C10 2o olefin sulphonates, C10 20 alkyl sulphates, C,0 2o alkyl 1 to 25mole ether sulphates, C,0 20 paraffinsulphonates, CιU 2o soaps, Ci0 2o alkyl phenol sulphates, sulphosuccinates, sulphosuccinamates, lignin sulphonates, fatty ester sulphonates, C,0 2o alkyl phenol ether sulphates, C,o 2o alkyl ethanolamide sulphates, C,0 2o alpha sulphofatty acid salts, C10 2o acyl sarcosinates, isethionates, CI0.__o acyl taurides, C]0 2.> alkyl hydrogen phosphates) , non-ionic surfactants (eg: ethoxylated material or synthetic C8-25 alcohols, ethoxylated fatty acids , ethoxyl/propyleneoxy block copolymers, ethoxylated fatty amines, mono- and di- alkanolamides, amine oxides and C10.20 acyl sorbitan and/or glyceryl ethoxylates) amphoteric surfactants (eg: betaines, sulphobetaines, and/or quaternised imidazoline) , and/or cationic surfactants (eg: benzalkonium salts, C10-20 alkyl trimethyl ammonium salts , and/or C,o-2o alkyl trimethyl or tris(hydroxymethyl) phosphonium salts) ; sequestrants, chelating agents, corrosion inhibitors and/or other threshold agents (eg: sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium ethylenediamine tetracetate, sodium nitrilo triacetate, tetra potassium pyrophosphate, acetodiphosphonic acid and its salts, ammonium trismethylene phosphonic acid and its salts, ethylenediamine tetrakis (methylene phosphonic) acid and its salts, diethylenetriamine pentakis (methylene phosphonic) acid, hexamethylenediamine tetrakis (methylene phosphonic) acid, bishexamethylenetriamine pentakis (methylene phosphonic) acid and ethanolamine bis(methylenephosphonic) acid and its salts) ; tolyltriazole and mixtures of nitrate, benzoate, HHP and/or PTCB) biocides (eg: tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphonium salts, formaldehyde glutaraldehyde) ; oxidising biocides and/or bleaches (eg: chlorine, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide, sodium perborate) ; foam controlling agents such as silicone antifoams, acetylenic diols; oxygen scavengers such as hydrazines and/or hydroxylamines; pH controlling and/or buffering agents such as amines, borates citrates and/or acetates; chromium salts; zinc salts; and/or other water treatment agents such as polymeric dispersants and coagulants including polymaleic, poly acrylic and polyvinylsulphonic acids and their salts, starches and/or carboxy methyl cellulose and/or molybdates. The invention provides formulations comprising an effective amount of a product of the invention as aforesaid and any of the aforesaid known water treatment agents. Such formulations may, for example, contain from 5 to 95% by weight of a product of the invention and from 5 to 90% by weight of one or more of any of the aforesaid water treatment agents. According to a further embodiment our invention provides a corrosion inhibiting pigment which is a solid composition which may be prepared by reacting a concentrated aqueous solution of any of the water soluble telomers according to the invention with a base or salt of calcium, zinc, barium, aluminium or other polyvalent metal and precipitating a solid salt.

Typically the work is coated with an aqueous solution containing at least an operative amount of said corrosion inhibitor, eg: 10 to 500ppm preferably 25 to 300, eg: 20 to 200 especially 25 to 100, more especially 30 to 80.
After contacting with the corrosion inhibiting solution the work may be rinsed and/or subjected to one or more coating or finishing operations such as resin coating, lacquering, enamelling, painting, electrophoretic coating, spattering, vapour deposition, electrodeposition, etching, chemical or electrical polishing or may be put aside for storage.
The work may be greased for storage, but an advantage of the treatment is that greasing and hence subsequent degreasing may be avoided.
The product may be incorporated into solid or liquid detergent compositions. It functions as a stain remover and also may help to stabilise any bleach present and exhibits valuable detergent building action by sequestering calcium. Typically it is added to detergent compositions in amounts of from 0.5 to 20% by weight of the composition .

All references to " alkyl" groups in this context refer to C8.22 straight or branched chain alkyl or alkenyl groups. "Ether" refers to glyceryl, mono or poly ethylenoxy, mono or poly propyleneoxy. The cation of the aforesaid anionic surfactants is usually sodium but may be potassium or mono, di or tri alkylolamine. Less commonly the cation may , be lithium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, zinc or a mono, di or tri alkyl amine such as isopropylamine or trimethylamine.
The surfactant may also be, or may comprise, one or more non-ionic surfactants such as the polyalkoxylated derivatives of alcohols carboxylic acids, alkyl phenols, alkylamines, alkanolamides, or glycerol or sorbitan ester, wherein each compound has an " alkyl" group as hereinbefore defined, and the polyalkylene oxy group comprises from 1 to 50, eg: 2 to 10 ethylene oxy groups.
The invention is illustrated by the following examples :
Example 1
To a 1 litre round bottomed flask was added 132g of hypophosphorous acid (50%w/w) and 1 ,4-dioxane (500g) , the mixture was heated under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator to co-evaporate some of the water from the hypophosphorous acid. In total, 233g of solvent were removed and this was replaced with 1 ,4-dioxane.
The solution from above was added to a 1 litre jacketed reactor fitted with a reflux condenser, temperature probe, gas sparge tube, outlet bubbler, oil circulator and overhead stirrer, and left under a gentle nitrogen sparge overnight.
The reaction mixture was heated to 70 °C and 2g of fresh azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN) was added as the acetylene addition was started. Further 2g portions were added every hour for 4 hours, after which the reaction was left to cool to room temperature and sparged with nitrogen for 16 hours, giving a 61% conversion to product. A further 4 hours of acetylene addition with 2g AIBN being added every hour resulted in a 68% yield of product; this was increased to 72% when sodium persulphate was added at a rate of lg per hour for 5 hours . At this point the reaction was concluded as being complete and was left to cool to room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere. The product separated into two phases. Residual 1 ,4-dioxane was removed on the rotary evaporator and the product was diluted with water to 25% w/w.

Ethane 1 ,2-bis phosphinic acid 45.7% w/w Diethylene triphosphinic acid 28.3% w/w Hypophosphorous acid 18.6% w/w Phosphate 7.7% w/w
Example 2
To a 1 litre jacketed reactor fitted with a reflux condenser, temperature probe, oil circulator, overhead stirrer, and two peristaltic pumps was added 32.2g of the reaction product of Example 1. The reaction mixture was heated to 78 °C after which the following two separate feeds were started at the same time:
1) 9g of sodium persulphate in water lOOg 2) 72g of acrylic acid in water (270g) adjusted to pH4 with sodium hydroxide (46-48% w/w) and 32.2g of the product of example 1.
The solutions were fed for 150 minutes and the temperature was steadily increased to 96° C. After the two feeds were complete they were immediately replaced with a further two feeds: 1) 9g of sodium persulphate in water lOOg
2) 72g of acrylic acid in water (270g) adjusted to pH4 with sodium hydroxide (46-48% w/w) .
The solutions were fed for 150 minutes and the temperature was maintained between 96 and 101 °C. After the two feeds were complete the reaction mixture was left to stir for a further 60 minutes before being left to cool to room temperature. The product was a pale yellow solution (962g) , 98% conversion to polymeric products by 31P NMR. GPC gave a molecular weight of 3650g.
Example 3
The product of Example 2 was tested in tube blocking tests as follows:
Test Conditions
Test Temperature 121 °C Test Medium A synthetic Produced Water corresponding to a 50:50 mix of Formation Water: Sea Water and having the following composition
Figure imgf000017_0001
Figure imgf000018_0001
Test pH The pH value is adjusted to 4.90 ± 0.05 @ 25 °C with 0.01 M acetic acid/sodium acetate buffer.
Inhibitor Concentration The run starts with an initial inhibitor level of lOOmg/1 (active acid) in the combined flow and decreases the concentration in lOmg/1 steps, with a complete tube cleaning and washing cycle being performed between each decrement.
Cycle Time Each level of inhibitor is evaluated for 30 minutes before proceeding to the next, ie: lower evel. The pressure drop across the narrow bore coil is continuously monitored and logged by a personal computer running Advantech® 'Genie '™ data acquisition and control software.
Fail Criterion & MIC In the absence of inhibitor and under these conditions, the tube becomes rapidly blocked with scale. In practice, to prevent complete and irrecoverable blockage of the tube, the brine flows are terminated and tube cleaning commences when the pressure drop reaches 1 psia. When evaluating inhibitors, if the pressure drop exceeds 1 psia within the 30 minutes cycle time, then the inhibitor is deemed to have failed at that level. The minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC therefore obviously lies somewhere between the "fail level" and the previous concentration at which the tube remained essentially clear for 30 minutes.
The product was effective at preventing tube blocking at concentrations down to between 80 and 90ppm. This compares well with the best commercial oilfield scale inhibitors.
