Abstract:
A number of water-soluble, one-to-one quaternary ammonium adducts of unsaturated organic halides and dihalides with hexamethylenetetramine are known as being useful as antimicrobial agents. It has not been discovered that a two-to-one quaternary ammonium adduct can be prepared from hexamethylenetetramine and 3,4-dichlorobutene-1; this two-to-one adduct is a more active, less toxic antimicrobial agent than the known one-to-one quaternary ammonium adducts.
