  • Patent number: 4144256
    Abstract: Acetylthio amides and esters were prepared by the free radical addition of thiolacetic acid to the terminal and nonterminal double bonds of N-substituted fatty amides and fatty esters. The free radical additions of the thiolacetic acid to the unsaturated compounds were initiated by irradiation using cobalt-60. The process using irradiation with cobalt-60 was also used to bring about the addition of bromotrichloromethane to N-substituted fatty amides and fatty esters to produce halogen-containing amides and esters. These new sulfur or halogen-containing compounds were found to have antimicrobial activity and to possess properties making them useful as antimicrobial agents.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 10, 1978
    Date of Patent: March 13, 1979
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture
    Inventors: Robert R. Mod, James A. Harris, Jett C. Arthur, Jr., Frank C. Magne, Gene Sumrell, Arthur F. Novak
  • Patent number: 4107192
    Abstract: New mixed esters of diols having one hydroxyl group esterified with benzoic acid and the other esterified with various saturated or unsaturated aliphatic acids or aromatic acids other than benzoic are found to have antimicrobial activity against several pathogenic microorganisms, and to have properties making them useful as antimicrobial agents.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 15, 1977
    Date of Patent: August 15, 1978
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture
    Inventors: August V. Bailey, Gordon J. Boudreaux, Gene Sumrell, Arthur F. Novak
  • Patent number: 4092319
    Abstract: Sulfur-containing long chain fatty ester-amides have been prepared by the addition of mercaptoacetic acid to the terminal and nonterminal double bonds of unsaturated amides followed by esterification of the carboxyl group with the appropriate alcohol. These compounds exhibit antimicrobial activity and have properties making them useful as antimicrobial agents.

  • Patent number: 4008137
    Abstract: Phosphonated N,N-disubstituted fatty amides were prepared by the free radical addition of dialkyl phosphites to terminal and nonterminal double bonds of N,N-disubstituted amides. The free radical additions of the dialkyl phosphites to the unsaturated amides were initiated by irradiation with gamma radiation from cobalt-60. These new compounds exhibit antimicrobial activity.
