Abstract
Sulfur-containing long chain fatty ester-amides have been prepared by the addition of mercaptoacetic acid to the terminal and nonterminal double bonds of unsaturated amides followed by esterification of the carboxyl group with the appropriate alcohol. These compounds exhibit antimicrobial activity and have properties making them useful as antimicrobial agents.

A sulfur-containing ester amide having antimicrobial activity and the general structure:
- ##STR2## where R.sub.1 is a lower alkyl or alkenyl group of 1 to 6 carbons;
- R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 cojointly form a morpholine ring;
- n + m add up to 15 and n = m plus or minus 1.
A sulfur-containing ester amide having antimicrobial activity and the general structure:
- ##STR3## wherein R.sub.1 is a lower alkyl or alkenyl group of 1 to 6 carbons;
- and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 cojointly form a morpholine ring.
