Antimicrobial composition and method containing N-(3,5-dihalophenyl)-imide compounds

摘要

Novel N-(3,5-dihalophenyl)imide compounds, which exhibit a strong antimicrobial activity against microorganisms including phytopathogenic fungi, parasites of industrial products and pathogenic microorganisms, represented by the formula, <IMAGE> wherein X and X' each represent halogens and A represents a substituted ethylene such as chloroethylene, C1 - C4 alkylthioethylene, C1 - C2 alkyl-ethylene or 1,2-di-C1 - C2-alkyl-ethylene, a cyclopropylene such as 1,3-dimethylcyclopropylene, trimethylene, a cyclohexylene-1,2-, cyclohexenylene-1,2-, cyclohexadienylene-1,2- or o-phenylene.
