New coumarin namely 2-(3-(7-methylcoumarin)acetamido)benzoic acid (MAB) was successfully synthesized by reaction of ethyl 2-(7-methylcoumarin)acetate with anthranilic acid. The chemical structure of MAB was confirmed by FT-IR, NMR and CHN techniques. The inhibition performance of MAB was investigated using the weight loss method. The results illustrate the strong adsorption of MAB molecules on the mild steel coupon surface and this adsorption follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. DFT calculations were performed to show the relationship between the MAP molecular structure and inhibition performance.
