Abstract
The present invention relates to novel reaction products of azlactones and organometallic nucleophiles and the method of making these reaction products. The invention also relates to methods of using such reaction products to prevent or eliminate microbial and fungal growth on substrates. Reaction products can be provided that show improved antifouling and antimicrobial action.
Claims6
A method of making an organometallic acrylamide comprising contacting an azlactone with an organometallic nucleophile compound which is effective to ring-open said azlactone and form said organometallic acrylamide therewith, wherein said organometallic nucleophile compound has the formula:
- ##STR9## where X' is --OH, --SH, --NH.sub.2, or --NHR, where R is an alkyl group;
- n is an integer of from 0 to 4;
- R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 each is independently an alkyl group or an aryl group or an oleate, with the proviso that not more than two of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 can represent CH.sub.3 at the same time;
- and M represents Sn, Ge, or Pb.
