This invention relates to quaternary ammonium compounds and, more particularly, to 2-hydroxyalkyl quaternary ammonium compounds having a pronounced antiseptic character.

They have been found to exhibit both bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties, as well as significant surface active properties. In view of these characteristics quaternary ammonium compounds have gained wide acceptance as effective agents for the sterilization of surgical and dental instruments, eating utensils, and food processing machinery and equipment.
In addition to the foregoing, the-compatibility of quaternary ammonium compounds with water, alcohol and other polar solvents, their freedom from disagreeable odors and their non-irritating character have made these compounds very desirable for use as antiseptics in the treatment of minor wounds, post-operative sterilization of human tissue, and for use as an antiseptic ingredient in mouthwashes, and other products contributing to personal hygiene. Quaternary ammonium compounds have been found to be particularly suited for such personal use in that they are eifective when used in solutions of moderate strength and also exhibit a prolonged bacteriostatic activity.
It is an object of this invention to provide novel quaternary ammonium compounds as hereinafter described.
It is a further object of the invention to provide quaternary ammonium compounds which are bacteriostatic, substantive, and bactericidal.
It is a still further object to provide quaternary ammonium compounds which are suitable for incorporation in various antiseptic preparations.
Quaternary ammonium compounds may be characterized as nitrogen compounds in which four carbon atoms are directly linked to the nitrogen atom through covalent bonds and in which an anion is linked to the nitrogen atom through an electrovalent bond. Compounds which are illustrative of the general class of quaternary ammonium compounds include the alkenyldimethylethylammonium halides, alkenyltrimethylammonium halides, alkyldimethylbenzylamrnonium halides, alkyltrimethylammonium halides, dialkyldimethylammonium halides, and the like.

These compounds are distinguishable from the previously known quaternary ammonium compounds by the presence of a Z-hydroxy substituent in the longest alkyl chain present on the nitrogen atom.
Illustrative quaternary ammonium compounds include N-propyl-N- Z-hydroxyethyl) -N- (2hydroxyoctyl -N- benzyl ammonium chloride,
N-methyl-N- (2-hydroxyethyl -N- (Z-hydroxyundecyl) N-benzyl ammonium chloride,

Example 1.Cndensati0n of LZ-epcrxyalkanes with merhyl-monoethanolamine N methyl N (2 hydroxyethyl) 2 hydroxyalkylamines were produced by heating a reaction mixture comprising 0.5 mole of a 1,2-epoxyalkane and 0.5 mole of methyl-monoethanolamine dissolved in about 75 milliliters of ethyl alcohol on a steam bath until a homogeneous solution was obtained. The temperature was then increased and the ethyl alcohol distilled oh; the final traces of ethyl alcohol were removed at reduced pressure.

In each instance the product was cooled to room temperature and the melting point determined on a sample recrystallized from ethyl acetate. The alkyl groups shown in column 1 of Table II represent R of Formula 1, above.

The n-propyl alcohol was then removed by evaporation. The last traces of n-propyl alcohol were removed by heating the reaction product to 54 C. at a pressure of 30 millimeters of mercury. The resulting product was then dried over concentrated sulfuric acid at a pressure of 0.5 millimeters of mercury.
Table IV below presents data on the materials thus produced.
Quaternary ammonium compounds of the type described herein have been tested for germicidal activity and have been found to possess a significant degree of such activity.
