Long-Chained Pyridinium N-Chloramines: Synthesis and Remarkable Biocidal Efficacies for Antibacterial Application

Lingdong Li, Dongxue Jia, Guangqing Zhang, Hanxue Ma
Long-chained pyridinium N-chloramines were synthesised by covalent linking N-Cl unit and alkyl chain via alkylation of 3-hydroxypyridine. Compared with previous pyridinium N-chloramine that lacks intact alkyl chains, the current long-chained N-chloramines exerted distinctively elevated biocidal efficacy, probably resulting from ‘synergistic’ biocidal action between N-Cl moiety and the long-chained pyridinium moiety.
