Abstract: Novel diphenyl and loweralkyl substituted diphenyl polyamines are useful antimicrobial agents, as well as algae inhibitors. They are especially useful because of their low toxicity, and as such are advantageously included as the active agent in surgical scrubs, antibacterial soaps, as preservatives in cosmetic preparations, and the like. They also can be used for topical treatment of dermatological conditions having a bacterial origin or implication such as Acne vulgaris.

Abstract: Novel polymers having a linear backbone which is free from both branching and cross-linking, comprising either tertiary or quaternized nitrogen atoms linked to each other through ethylene groups. These polymers are useful as antimicrobials, flocculating agents, antistatic agents, electroconductive agents for coating paper, chelating agents and bile acid binding agents, as well as in similar applications where their high charge to weight ratio and fully accessible nitrogen atoms can be employed. The polymers are obtained by the polymerization of an oxazoline, hydrolysis or direct reduction, nitrogen substitution, and optional quaternization of the resulting polymer.

Abstract: Compounds of the structure: ##STR1## where A is either ##STR2## where R.sub.1 to R.sub.4 are various substituents are active as antibacterials and antifungals.

Abstract: A process for preparing 1-[1,5-di-(3,3-dimethylnorborn-2-yl)-3-pentyl]-1,5,9-triazanonane from 1,5-di-(3,3-dimethylnorborn-2-yl)-3-pentanone by reaction with ammonia to form, after reduction, 3-amino-[1,5-di-(3,3-dimethylnorborn-2-yl)pentane]. This latter compound is reacted with acrylonitrile, reduced, and the diamine product again reacted with acrylonitrile and again reduced. Alternative routes wherein the ketone is reduced to the novel alcohol and optionally the novel halide and either then reacted with 3,3'-iminobispropylamine to form the desired polyamine are also shown.

Abstract: Novel dibicyclo [2.2.2] octyl dibicyclo [2.2.2] octenyl polyamines are useful antimicrobial agents, as well as algae inhibitors. They are especially useful as hard surface disinfectants and as additives to oil well drilling muds, injection brines and industrial water where bacterial control is desired.

Abstract: Novel polymers having a linear backbone which is free from both branching and cross-linking, comprising quaternized nitrogen atoms linked to each other through trimethylene groups. By the term "linear backbone" is meant that the polymer has only acyclic groups, i. e. trimethylene, linking the nitrogen atoms in a single continuous chain; the polymer is free from "branching" when it has no repeating monomer units extending from the polymer backbone; and it is free from "cross-linking" when there is no joining of two linear backbones. These polymers are useful as antimicrobials, flocculating agents, antistatic agents, electroconductive agents for coating paper, chelating agents and bile acid binding agents, as well as in similar applications where their high charge to weight ratio and fully accessible nitrogen atoms can be employed. The polymers are obtained by the polymerization of dihydro-oxazine, reductive alkylation of the resulting polymer, followed by quaternization.

Abstract: Novel di-bicyclo[3.1.1] and [2.2.1]heptyl and dibicyclo[3.1.1] and [2.2.1]heptenyl ketones are useful as intermediates for preparing novel polyamines useful as antimicrobial agents, as well as algae inhibitors.

Abstract: A composition comprising tris-(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane and dicyclohexyl-, dicyclohexenyl- and cyclohexylcyclohexenyl-alkyl polyamines, their acid addition salts, and mixtures thereof are useful as antibacterial agents. The composition is particularly useful because of the synergistic improvement obtained against strains of the genus Pseudomonas, as well as other genera.

Abstract: Novel dicyclohexyl, dicyclohexenyl and cyclohexylcyclohexenylalkyl polyamines are useful antimicrobial agents, as well as algae inhibitors. They are especially useful in agriculture to protect plants against diseases such as leaf, stem, and fruit spotting, internal discoloration and decay of fruits and vegetables. These compounds are particularly active against diseases caused by the genera Pseudomonas, Xanthomonas, Erwinia, and Corynebacterium.
