Abstract
Aryl dibromonitromethyl sulfones, new compounds, wherein aryl is phenyl or lower alkyl phenyl, are effective as antimicrobials at a concentration of about 100 parts per million.
Claims6
A method for controlling bacteria and fungi by applying to them and to their habitats a cidal amount of a solution containing at least 100 parts per million of an aryl dibromonitromethyl sulfone, wherein aryl represents phenyl or C.sub.1-4 alkyl-substituted phenyl.
Dibromonitromethyl p-tolyl sulfone.
Dibromonitromethyl phenyl sulfone.
An aqueous mixture useful for preparing a solution for controlling bacteria and fungi consisting essentially of 0.1 percent total of one or more aryl dibromonitromethylsulfones and a solubilizing amount of an organic solvent of the group consisting of acetone, dimethylformamide and propylene glycol methyl ether, the balance being water, wherein aryl represents phenyl or C.sub.1-4 alkyl-substituted phenyl.
An aqueous solution useful for preparing a solution for controlling bacteria and fungi consisting essentially of 0.1 percent of dibromonitromethyl p-tolyl sulfone and a solubilizing amount of an organic solvent of the group consisting of acetone, dimethylformamide and propylene glycol methyl ether, the balance being water.
