Abstract

A new series of N-halamine compounds have been synthesized and tested in aqueous solution and on various substrates for efficacy at inactivating bacteria. The compounds, which are 3-halo-4-[[(alkylacryl)oxy]methyl]-4-ethyl-2-oxazolidinones, are inexpensive to synthesize and can be polymerized to form polymeric N-halamine compounds. They are efficient biocides in their monomeric form in aqueous solution, and when polymerized, they can be coated on glass, plastic, and fibrous materials for use as surface-active disinfection agents.
