The effectiveness of 5-acetyl-4-(3-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-1-phenyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in acidic conditions was investigated herein through the experimental and theoretical approach. Experimental results demonstrated that this compound acts as a reliable corrosion inhibitor ( η  %) for mild steel in acidic environments, with its inhibition efficiency increasing as the inhibitor concentration rises. Adsorption behavior on the mild steel surface followed Langmuir and Temkin adsorption isotherms. Electrochemical polarization tests indicated that the compound exhibited a mixed corrosion type, and impedance spectroscopy revealed an increase in charge transfer resistance with higher inhibitor concentrations. Examination of the mild steel surface using SEM and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) confirmed the formation of a protective film. Wettability characteristics were assessed using the contact angle method. Frontier molecular orbital analysis revealed the HOMO and LUMO values for both the neutral and protonated forms of the compound. At 289 °C, the interaction energy for adsorption was found to be approximately −146.3006 kJ/mol for the neutral system and −135.8122 kJ/mol for the protonated system, while at 318 °C, the corresponding values were −140.6106 kJ/mol and −147.6022 kJ/mol. These findings collectively suggest the potential industrial utility of the investigated inhibitor as an effective corrosion inhibitor.
