The antimicrobial compound, bis(carbomethoxymethyl) adipate is disclosed. It was prepared by condensing the methyl ester of glycolic acid and the acid chloride of adipic acid. Tests for antimicrobial activity exhibit potent antimicrobial activity against molds, yeasts, and gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Antimicrobial compound bis (carbomethoxymethyl) adipate

A process for using glycolic acid derivatives to control antimicrobial activity is disclosed. The process comprises: Contacting a microbe with an antimicrobial composition containing, as its active ingredient, a member selected from the group consisting of N,N-bis(pelargonoyloxyethyl)pelargonoyloxyacetamide, N,N-bis(lauroyloxyethyl)lauroyloxyacetamide, N,N-bis (oleoyloxyethyl)oleoyloxyacetamide, N,N-bis(trimethylacetyloxyethyl)trimethylacetylacetamide, carboethoxymethyl hydrocinnamate, and bis(carbomethoxymethyl) adipate.

Process for controlling antimicrobial activity using glycolic acid

Esters and mixed ester-amides derived from glycolic acid by substitution at the hydroxyl and carboxyl functions were prepared by conventional procedures and tested for antimicrobial activity. All of the compounds tested showed some inhibition against four microorganisms under the test conditions, and some of them had potent activity. These new compounds have properties which make it possible for them to be used as biostatic agents in commercial products.

Antimicrobial glycolic acid derivatives

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.

Antimicrobial fatty ester-amides

2-(2-Benzoxyethoxy)-ethyl-2-furoate

New ester-amides containing one or more long chain fatty acyl groupings are described which have antimicrobial activity against several pathogenic microorganisms, and have properties making them useful as antimicrobial agents.

N-(furoyloxyethyl) fatty acid amides

Derivatives of dicarboxylic acids containing a phosphono group in the alpha and alpha prime position have been made. These have a wide variety of uses as intermediates. Specifically, one of the new compounds is useful in imparting wrinkle resistance as well as flame retardance to cellulosic textiles.

2-Thia-1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane 2,2-dioxide was prepared. The phosphine was converted to the phosphine oxide derivative by reaction with hydrogen peroxide and the methyl phosphonium iodide derivative of the phosphene was prepared by reaction with methyl iodide.
