Corrosion is one of major problems in petroleum mining and processing industry. A lot of catasthrophic cases was generated by corrosion, for example the damage of oil reservoirs, underground pipelines and other equipments. The pipelines used to trasport crude oil from reservoir to the processing installation were made by carbon steel that is irresistance towards corrosion. The best method to prevent corrosion that occurred at the inner parts of carbon steel pipelines is the use of inhibitor. Organic corrosion inhibitor have more advantages than inorganic corrosion inhibitor because it is easier to perform the degradation process by the environment. There are still small amount of studies in performing the synthesis of organic corrosion inhibitor. One of potent organic corrosion inhibitors is amino acids, however the presence of the acidic carboxylic acid groups could also induce the corrosion process, therefore it is necessary to perform the protection of carboxylic functional group. The protection of carboxylic functional group could increase the corrosion inhibition activity of amino acid.
