Abstract

Sulfur-containing long chain fatty ester-amides have been prepared by the addition of mercaptoacetic acid to the terminal and nonterminal double bonds of unsaturated amides followed by esterification of the carboxyl group with the appropriate alcohol. These compounds exhibit antimicrobial activity and have properties making them useful as antimicrobial agents.
