2-Chloro-3-(phenylsulphonyl)acrylonitrile → HCID 86735539, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The addition of 40 ppm of β,β-dichloro-β-cyano-ethyl-phenyl-sulphone or α-chloro-β-phenylsulphonyl-acrylonitrile to a back water sample, from a paper factory, which contained 9.3 × 107 germs (predominantly slime-forming organisms) per ml, caused complete destruction of the germs within 2 to 5 hours, whilst even 70 ppm of β-chloro-β-cyano-ethyl-phenyl-sulphone only gave a reduction to 2.5 × 107 germs per ml.
