Disclosed are alkyl lactone-derived hydroxyamide and alkyl lactone-derived hydroxyester used in compositions and methods for inhibiting corrosion. The alkyl lactone-derived hydroxyamide and alkyl lactone-derived hydroxyester are reaction products of an alkyl lactone and an amine, and an alkyl lactone and an alcohol, respectively.

The present invention provides a preservative composition to prevent and/or reduce corrosion on a metal surface comprising an anhydride-derived amide and an oil and/or a solvent, wherein the anhydride-derived amide is present in an amount in the range of from 0.01-50 wt %, based on the total weight of the preservative composition. The invention also provides a preservative composition comprising in addition a sulfonate composition; a metal article having a coating thereon which coating comprises the present preservative composition; and the use of the present preservative composition to prevent and/or reduce corrosion on a metal surface.
