The present invention is directed to compounds corresponding to formula (I), wherein R represents -Br, -Cl, -OCH1, -SCN, -OCH2SCN, -SCH2SCN, -OCH2CH2SCN, -SCH2CH2SCN, (a), (b) or (c); Y represents -Br, -Cl, -OCH1, -SCN, -OCH2SCN, -SCH2SCN, -OCH2CH2SCN or -SCH2CH2SCN; X represents -Br, -Cl, -F, -CH3, -OCH3, -COOCH3, -NO2, -SCH3, -SO2CH3 or -CF3 and n is an integer of from 0-5, with the proviso that at least one of R or Y represents -SCN, OCH2SCN, -SCH2SCN, -OCH2CH2SCN or -SCH2CH2SCN and with further proviso that when R is (a), (b) or (c) Y is -SCN or -SCH2SCN. These compounds have been found to exhibit antimicrobial and marine antifouling activity in industrial and commercial applications. |
