A new Schiff base of chitosan, namely Piperonal-chitosan (Pip-Cht), was synthesized for the first time, using a microwave irradiation method and characterized using spectroscopic techniques. The corrosion inhibition behavior of the new Schiff base was evaluated on carbon steel in 15% HCl medium via gravimetric and electrochemical techniques. This is the first work on the application of chemically functionalized chitosan as a corrosion inhibitor in the oil-well acidizing environment. The Pip-Cht inhibitor exhibited a high corrosion inhibition efficiency of 85.16% at a moderate dose of 600 mg L
