Abstract

Phosphonated N,N-disubstituted fatty amides were prepared by the free radical addition of dialkyl phosphites to terminal and nonterminal double bonds of N,N-disubstituted amides. The free radical additions of the dialkyl phosphites to the unsaturated amides were initiated by irradiation with gamma radiation from cobalt-60. These new compounds exhibit antimicrobial activity.
