.
The present invention relates to a microbicidal
composition containing 0-substituted 3-oxypyridinium salts
for combating microbes, and a method of combatin~ mi-
crobes.
More particularly, the present invention pro-
poses a microbicidal composition for combating algae,
bacteria or fungi of the non-phytopathogenic type, out-
side the crop protection sector. This composition which
contains a toxic amount of an 0-substituted 3-oxypyridinium
salt of the formula:

Examples of meanings for ~ are Cl~, ~r~ or an anion which is one
equivalent of an acid, such as phenylsulfonic acid, p-methylphenyl-

5 The 0-substituted 3-oxypyridinium salts of the formula I are obtained by
reacting a compound of the formula
R2X II,
1O where R2 and X have the above meanings, With an 0-substituted
3-oxypyridine derivative of the formula
~0--R1
~NJ III,
where R1 has the above meanings.
The reaction is carried out in bulk or if desired in the presence of an15 inert solvent or diluont at from 20 to 150, pref0rably 50 to 150, CC. The
starting material of the formula III is advantageously reacted with up to
10 times the molar amount Ibased on III) of the alkylating agent of the
40rmula II.
20 Examples of preferred inert solvents or diluents are aliphatic or aromatic
hydrocarbons or halohydrocarbons, such as pentane, cyclohexane, heptane,
benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene and dichloro-benzenes; aliphatic ketones
such as acetonQ, methyl ethyl ketone, diethyl ketone and cyclopentanone;
ethers such as diethyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, dimethoxyethane,
25 tetrahydrofuran and dioxane; esters such as ethyl acetate; nitriles SUCh
as acetonitrile; amides such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide and
N-methyl-pyrrolidone; and mixtures of these solvents.
Most of the starting materials of the formulae II and III are known, and
30 some are commercially available; tho~e that are not may be produced
analogously to examples given in the literature Ifor III, for example, see
Chem. ~er., 116, 239~, 1993).
When R3 is not hydrogen, the novel 0-substituted 3-oxypyridinium salts may
35 pOS5QSS a chiral carbon atom at R1 and/or R2. The optically pure
enantiomers and diastereomers may be obtained by conventional methods. The
present invention encompasses both these compounds in pure form and
mixtur0s thereof. Not only the pure enantiomers and homogeneous
diastereomers, but also the mixtures thereof which are usually obtained on
40 synth~sis are effective.

The compounds of formula I and their use as
fungicides in the crop protector sector exclusively are
claimed per se in copending Canadian patent application
no. 512,548 filed on June 26, 1986.
In accordance with the invention, it has how-
ever been found and proved that the compounds of formula
I are also suitable for combating algae, bacteria and
fungi outside the crop protection sector, for example
for disinfecting water in air-humidifying units, cooling-
water circulation systems, water injection systems and
for oilfields, swimming baths, laundries, and in prepara-
tions used for disinfection in the food sector, dairies,
breweries, hospitals, etc. The treatment of raw hides
and leather is also worthy of mention.

The compounds according to the invention may be con-
verted into the usual formulations, e.g. solutions, emul-
sions, suspensions, dusts, powders, pastes and granules.
The application forms depend entlrely on the purpose for
05 which the agents are belng used; at all events they must
ensure a fine and uniform distributlon of the active
ingredients. The formulations are prepared in conventional
manner, e.g., by extending the active ingredlent with
solvents and/or carriers, if desired using emulsifiers and
dispersants. Where water is used as diluent, other organlc
solvents may also be employed as auxlliary solvents. Sult-
able compounds for preparlng such formulatlons are sol-
vents such as aromatlcs (e.g., xylene, benzene),
chlorlnated aromatlcs (e.g., chlorobenzenes), paraffins
(e.g., petroleum fractlons), alcohols (e.g., methanol,
butanol), amlnes (e.g., ethanolamlne, dlmethylformamlde),
and water; carrlers such as natural rock flours (e.g.,
kaollns, dlatomaceous earth, talc, chalk) and synthetic
rock flours (e.g., hlghly dlsperse slllclc acld, 8111-
cates); emulslflers such as nonlonlc and anionlc emulsify-
lng agents (e.g. polyoxyethylene-fatty alcohol ethers,
alkyl sulfonates and aryl sulfonates); and dlspersants
such as llgnln, sulflte waste llquors and methyl
cellulose.

The active lngredients per se are low-foam biocides. A
significant increase in the effectiveness of biocidal
preparations containing these compounds is achieved by
adding tri-C6_12-alkylmethylammonium salts, preferably in
05 amounts of from 20 to 40 wt%, based on the weight of
compounds of the general formula I.
The compounds according to the invention whlch are
contalned in such preparatlons are effectlve agalnst a
large number o~ mlcroorganlsms, for example:
Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coll, Klebsielle
pneumoniae, Citrobacter freundli, Proteus vulgaris,
Pseudomonas aeruglnosa, Desulfovibrlo desulfuricans,
Streptovertlcllllum rubrlretlculi, Asperglllus nlger,
Asperglllus verslcolor, Penlcllllum funlculosum,
Penlcllllum expansum, Penicllllum glaucum, Paecllomyces

alblcans, Trlchophyton mentagrophytes, Geotrlchum
candldans, Monllla sltophlla, Scenedesmus quadrlcauda,
Chlorella vulgarls, Nostoc muscorlum, Osclllatorla llmosa
und Anabaena constrlcta.
Usual use concentrations are 0.01 to 2% of active
lngredlent, based on the welght of the material to be
protected; when the actlve ingredlents are used for
treatlng water or in the productlon of oil, ln swlmmlng
baths, coollng towers, alr humldlfylng unlts or ln the
paper lndustry, amounts o~ 5 to 250 ppm are sufflclent.
Ready-to-use dlslnfectant solutlons contaln, for example,
from 0.5 to 10 wt% actlve ingredlent. The actlve
lngredlents may also be mlxed wlth other, prlor art,

produced.
