Substituted thiadiazoles, compositions containing them and their use as antimicrobial and marine antifouling agents

摘要

Substituted thiadiazoles which correspond to the formula: <IMAGE> wherein X and Y each independently represents -Br, -Cl, -OCH3, -SCN, -OCH2SCN, -SCH2SCN, -OCH2CH2SCN or -SCH2CH2SCN, provided that at least one of X or Y represents -SCN, -OCH2SCN, -SCH2SCN, -OCH2CH2SCN or -SCH2CH2SCN are disclosed. These compounds have been found to exhibit antimicrobial and marine antifouling activity in industrial and commercial applications and compositions containing these compounds are so employed.
