Abstract: The present invention is related to a process for obtaining organic ammonium salts (OAS) and their derivatives, supramolecular surfactants (SS), which simultaneously present the properties of traceability and detergents dispersant of organic scales. Organic ammonium salts (OAS) and their derivatives supramolecular surfactants (SS) have applications as differentiators, markers, or tracers in fuels derived from hydrocarbons; and also to disperse organic scales or inhibit the gums precipitation both in injectors and intake valves of automotive vehicle engines. Organic ammonium salts (OAS) are obtained through an acid-base reaction between a molecule from the azo family and an amine. Once the OAS is obtained, it reacts with an organic compound (OC) so that through non-covalent interactions, a self-assembly process occurs that gives rise to the SS. Said process is based on green chemistry, that is, in the absence of solvents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to supramolecular surfactants (SS) with detergent-dispersant of heavy organic compounds (deposits and/or organic scales) and corrosion inhibition properties, and methods for preparing these surfactants. The invention also relates to the corresponding uses and applications of these surfactants to prevent and control the formation of deposits in internal combustion machines, as well as to prevent and protect pipelines, tanks, motors and complements of ferrous materials against corrosion where there is contact with liquid hydrocarbons such as gasoline, turbosine, and diesel, where gasoline may contain oxygenated compounds such as ethers and/or alcohols. The supramolecular surfactants are obtained from the self-assembly process between oxazolidines derived from polyalkyl/polyalkenyl N-hydroxyalkyl succinimides with alkyl/alkenyl-amine-propanoic acids and alkyl/alkenyl-amine-di-propanoic acids.
