Abstract

A phosphobetaine compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein A is selected from OH, OM and OYR B is selected from OH and OM R is an imidazoline reactant moiety of the formula ##STR2## Wherein R.sub.3 is alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxy, hydroxyalkyl or hydroxyalkenyl or from C.sub.2 -C.sub.20 carbon atoms each or aryl or akylaryl or cycloaliphatic of up to 20 carbon atoms. R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are individually selected from hydrogen, propionic acid, propionitrile, propionamide, propionate esters of C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkyl, alkylaryl or alkylcycloaliphatic or alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts or amine salts of propionic acid with the proviso that when R.sub.1 is hydrogen R.sub.2 must be a propionate derivative. Y is alkylene of 2 to 6 carbon atoms optionally interrupted by up to 3 oxygen atoms, of up to 12 carbon atoms. M is selected from alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and amines.
