Fungicidal Activity of S-Esters of Thiocarboxylic Acids as Antimicrobial Additives to Petroleum Products

Аннотация

A variety of aliphatic and aromatic S-esters of thiocarboxylic acids have been tested for antimicrobial activity. The relationship between the chemical structure of the compounds R¹SC(O)R² and their toxicity for microorganisms has been revealed, and the effect of various functional groups on the antimicrobial properties has been shown. The cooling lubricant IKhP-45E with S-aryl thioacetate additives has been tested. It has been shown that the additives used (0.25–0.5 wt %) inhibit the growth of all the studied microorganisms; however, their activity with respect to fungi is higher. The introduction of S-aryl thioacetates provides the resistance of these oils to microbiological deterioration to retain the physicochemical properties for a long period of time.
