NOVEL BIS*DITHIOCARBAMATE* SALT AND CHAIN SUBSTANCE AND METHOD AND COMPOSITION OF CONTROLLING BACTERIA

摘要

The novel bis(dithiocarbamate) salts having the formula …… wherein n is the valence of Ma and is 1,2 or 3, and M is ammonium, an alkali metal, or a transition metal, especially zinc or manganese, or having the formula… ……O-(CH2CH2NH@S<(-)>)2 Xa Yb… wherein X and Y are not the same and both represent a bivalent transistion metal cation, especially of zinc and manganese, and a + v = 1, with the proviso that a and b are, individually, greater than 0, or having the formula… ……O-(CH2CH2NH@S<(-)>)2 zn<+2>.(HNR min R sec )y… wherein R min and R sec are, individually, either CH2CH2NH2 or CH2CH2OH and R min and R sec , taken together, is-(CH2)5; and y has a value of from about 0,10 to 2, are useful as antifungal agents. They are prepared in the usual manner by reacting bis-(2-aminoethyl) ether with carbon disulfide and aqueous ammonium or alkali metal hydroxide and recovering and purifying the so produced water-solube bis- dithiocarbamates. One of them is, if desired, reacted in aqueous solution with a watersoluble salt of one or two transistion metal(s) for producing the water-insoluble transition mono or mixed metal salt(s). The so produced Zn-salt is, if desired, complexed with variable amounts of an amine of the formula… HNR min R sec ,… especially (2-(2-aminoethyl) amino)ethanol or piperidine.
