Novel soft n-chloroamino alcohol derivatives exhibiting antibacterial

Abstract

There is provided, a novel class of compounds exhibiting antibacterial activity and having the formula: ##STR1## wherein X and Y each represent a member which may be the same or different selected from the group consisting of H and Cl with the proviso that X and Y cannot represent H simultaneously; R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each represent a member which may be the same or different selected from the group consisting of an n- or branched alkyl group of from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryl group (phenyl, naphthyl, etc.) and a ##STR2## WHEREIN M REPRESENTS AN INTEGER OF FROM 2 TO 5; N REPRESENTS AN INTEGER OF 1 TO 8; AND Z represents a member selected from the group consisting of an --OOCR.sub.3 group, an --OR.sub.3 group and an --OCH.sub.2 OR.sub.3 group, wherein R.sub.3 represents a member selected from the group consisting of an n- or branched alkyl group of 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a phenyl group, a naphthyl group, a benzyl group, ##STR3## WHEREIN X is a halogen atom (Cl, Br, I), a 2, 3 or 4 ##STR4## A 2, 3, OR 4 ##STR5## WHEREIN R.sub.4 represents a member selected from the group consisting of H, an n- or branched alkyl group, a benzyl group, an O atom, and a --(CH.sub.2).sub.p COOH group, wherein p represents an integer of 1 to 4, and wherein W.sup..crclbar. represents a non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic anion.
