Participants

Reaction Steps

The experiment of Example 1A was repeated in all essential details except that p-thiocresol, 3-aminopropanol and propionic acid in equimolar amounts were used as the reactants. There was obtained N-[3-(p-methylphenylthio)-propyl]propionamide, m.p. 55.5°-56.5° C., designated P-2142. The nmr spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure. P-2142 was generally ineffective for controlling the growth of seven species of bacteria but was effective (MIC-100-500) for controlling the growth of four species of fungi.
