The beta-thioacrylamides of the invention can be used in any locus subject to contamination by bacteria or fungi. Typical loci subject to contamination by bacteria are in aqueous systems such as water cooling, laundry wash water, oil/water systems such as cutting oils, oil fields and the like where microorganisms need to be killed or where their growth needs to be controlled. Specific loci for bacteriostatic and fungistatic application include disinfectants, sanitizers, cleaners, deodorizers, liquid and powder soaps, skin removers, oil and grease removers, food processing chemicals, dairy chemicals, food preservatives, animal food preservatives, wood preservation, paint, lazures, stains, mildewcides, hospital and medical antiseptics, metal working fluids, cooling water, air washers, petroleum production, paper treatment, paper mill slimicides, petroleum products, adhesives, textiles, pigment slurries, latexes, leather and hide treatment, petroleum fuel, jet fuel, laundry sanitizers, agricultural formulations, inks, mining, nonwoven fabrics, petroleum storage, rubber, sugar processing, tobacco, swimming pools, cosmetics, toiletries, pharmaceuticals, chemical toilets, household laundry products, diesel fuel additives, waxes and polishes, electrodepositions systems, diagnostic products, medical devices, water purification systems, filtration systems, fishnets, mariene antifoulants and other applications where water and organic materials come in contact under conditions which allow the growth of undesired microorganisms. Solutions of beta-thioacrylamides can also applied to a solid substrate, such as fabric, leather, or wood, as a preservative, or admixed with plastics. It is known in the art that the performance of biocides can frequently be enhanced by combination with one or more other biocides. In fact, there have been numerous examples of synergistic combinations of biocides. Thus, other known biocides may be combined advantageously with the beta-thioacrylamides of this invention.

The dilution and rate of application will depend upon the type of equipment employed, the method and frequency of application desired and diseases to be controlled, but the effective amount for application is usually from about 5 grams (gm) to about 22 kilograms (kg), preferably from about 0.010 to about 1.0 kg per hectare. As a seed protectant, the amount of fungicide coated on the seed is usually at a dosage rate of about 0.0001 to about 10 grams (gm) and preferably from about 0.1 to about 10 gm per 1 kilogram of seed. As a soil fungicide the beta-thioacrylamides can be incorporated in the soil or applied to the surface usually at a rate of 0.01 to about 22 kg, preferably about 0.05 to about 11 kg and more preferably from about 0.1 to about 3.3 kg per hectare. As a foliar fungicide the beta-thioacrylamides can be applied at a rate of from about 0.01 to about 11 kg, preferably from about 0.02 to about 5.5 kg and more preferably from about 0.1 to about 3.3 kg per hectare. The present invention is useful for the control of fungi and can be utilized at various loci such as the seed, the soil or the foliage. For such purposes these compounds can be used in the technical or pure form as prepared, as solutions or as formulations. The compounds are usually taken up in a carrier or are formulated so as to render them suitable for subsequent dissemination as fungicides. For example, these beta-thioacrylamides can be formulated as wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, dusts, granular formulations, aerosols, or flowable emulsion concentrates. In such formulations, the beta-thioacrylamides are extended with a liquid or solid carrier and, when desired, suitable surfactants are incorporated. It is usually desirable, particularly in the case of foliar spray formulations, to include adjuvants, such as wetting agents, spreading agents, dispersing agents, stickers, adhesives and the like in accordance with agricultural practices. Such adjuvants commonly used in the art can be found in McCutcheon's Emulsifiers and Detergents, McCutcheon's Emulsifiers and Detergents/Functional Materials and McCutcheon's Functional Materials all published annually by McCutcheon Division of MC Publishing Company (New Jersey). In general, the beta-thioacrylamides of this invention can be dissolved in appropriate solvents such as acetone, methanol, ethanol, dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulfoxide and such solutions extended with water. The concentrations of the solution can vary from 1% to 90% with a preferred range being 5 to 50% (weight percentage). For the preparation of emulsifiable concentrates, the beta-thioacrylamides can be dissolved in suitable organic solvents or a mixture of solvents, together with an emulsifying agent which permits dispersion of the fungicide in water. The concentration of the active ingredient in emulsifiable concentrates is usually 10% to 90% and in flowable emulsion concentrates, this can be as high as 75% (weight percent). Water based flowable formulations of the beta-thioacrylamides can be prepared with a concentration of active ingredients in the range of 5 to 70% by weight, preferably 20 to 50% by weight. A typical flowable formulation is prepared by wet-milling a mixture of 35 parts of beta-thioacrylamides, 10 parts of Barden clay, 4 parts of sodium lignosulfonate, 1 part of an anionic wetting agent and 50 parts of water. Wettable powders suitable for spraying can be prepared by admixing the beta-thioacrylamide compound with a finely divided solid, such as clays, inorganic silicates and carbonates, and silicas and incorporating wetting agents, sticking agents, and/or dispersing agents in such mixtures. The concentration of active ingredients in such formulations is usually in the range of 5% to 98%, preferably 40% to 75% (weight percent) obtained by blending 50 parts of an active ingredient selected from the S-beta-dicarbonyl substituted beta-thioacrylamides of Examples 1-69, 45 parts of a synthetic precipitated hydrated silicon dioxide sold under the trademark Hi-Sil, 1 part of an anionic naphthalenic sulfonate wetting agent and 4 parts of sodium lignosulfonate (Marasperse N-22). In another preparation of a kaolin type (Barden) clay is used in place of the Hi-Sil in the above wettable powder and in another such preparation 25% of the Hi-Sil is replaced with a synthetic sodium silico aluminate sold under the trademark Zeolex 7. Dusts are prepared by mixing the amides and salts and complexes thereof with finely divided inert solids which can be organic or inorganic in nature. Materials useful for this purpose include botanical flours, silicas, silicates, carbonates, talc and clays. One convenient method of preparing a dust is to dilute a wettable powder with a finely divided carrier. Dust concentrates containing 20% to 80% (weight percent) of the active ingredient are commonly made and are subsequently diluted to 1% to 10% use concentration. The compounds of the present invention may also be utilized in combination with other fungicides such as: (a) dithiocarbamates and derivatives such as: ferric dimethyldithiocarbamate (ferbam), zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate (ziram), manganese ethylenebisdithiocarbamate (maneb) and its coordination product with zinc ion (mancozeb), zinc ethylenebisdithiocarbamate (zineb), zinc propylenebisdithiocarbamate (propineb), sodium methyldithiocarbamate (metham), tetramethylthiuram disulfide (thiram), the complex of zineb and polyethylene thiuram disulfide, 3,5-dimethyl-1,3,5-2H-tetrahydrothiadiazine-2-thione (dazomet); and mixtures of these and mixtures with copper salts; (b) nitrophenol derivatives such as: dinitro-(1-methylheptyl) phenyl crotonate (dinocap), 2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenyl-3,3-dimethylacrylate (binapacryl), and 2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenyl isopropyl carbonate; (c) heterocyclic structures such as: Systhane (a registered trademark of Rohm and Haas for myclobutanil), triademifon, N-trichloromethylthiotetrahydrophthalimide (captan), N-trichloromethylthiophthalimide (folpet), 2-heptadecyl-2-imidazole acetate (glyodine), 2-octylisothiazolone-3, 2,4-dichloro-6-(o-chloroanilino)-s-triazine, diethyl phthalimidophosphorothioate, 4-butyl-1,2,4-triazole, 5-amino-1-[bis(dimethylamino)phosphinyl]-3-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole, 5-ethoxy-3-trichloromethyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole, 2,3-dicyano-1,4-dithiaanthraquinone (dithianon), 1,3-dithiolo-[4,5-b]quinoxaline-2-thione (thioquinox), methyl 1-(butylcarbamoyl)-2-benzimidazole carbamate (benomyl), 2,4'-(thiazolyl) benzimidazole (thiabendazole), 4-(2-chlorophenylhydrazono)-3-methyl-5-isoxazolone, 3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-5-ethenyl-5-methyl-2,4-oxazolidinedione (vinclozolin), 3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-N-(1-methylethyl)-2,4-di-alpha-oxo-1-imidazolinecarboxamide (dichlorophenyl)-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane-1,2-dicarboximide (procymidone), beta-(4-chlorophenoxy)-alpha-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-ethanol (triadimenol), 1-(4-chlorophenoxy)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-butanone (triadimefon), beta-[(1,1'-biphenyl)-4-yloxy]-alpha-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-ethanol (bitertanol), 2,3-dichloro-N-(4-fluorophenyl)maleimide (fluoroimide), 1-[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-propyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl-methyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole, pyridine-2-thiol-1-oxide, 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate and metal salts thereof, 2,3-dihydro-5-carboxanilido-6-methyl-1,4-oxathiin-4,4-dioxide, 2,3-dihydro-5-carboxanilido-6-methyl-1,4-oxathiin,alpha-(phenyl)-alpha-(2,14-dichlorophenyl)-5-pyrimidinyl-methanol (triarimol), cis-N-[1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethyl)thio]-4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboximide, 3-[2-(3,5 -dimethyl-2-oxycyclohexyl)-2-hydroxy]-glutarimide (cycloheximide), dehydroacetic acid, N-(1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethylthio)-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydrophthalimide (captafol), 5-butyl-2-ethylamino-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-pyrimidine (ethirimol), acetate of 4-cyclodecyl-2,6-dimethyl-morpholine (dodemorph), and 6-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-b]-quinoxaline (quinomethionate); (d) miscellaneous halogenated fungicides such as: tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone (chloranil), 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone (dichlone), 1,4-dichloro-2,5-dimethoxybenzene (chlorneb), 3,5,6-trichloro-o-anisic acid (tricamba), 2,4,5,6-tetrachloroisophthalonitril (TCPN), 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline (dichloran), 2-chloro-1-nitropropane, polychloronitrobenzenes such as: pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) and tetrafluorodichloroacetone; (e) fungicidal antibiotics such as: griseofulvin, kasugamycin and streptomycin; (f) copper-based fungicides such as: copper hydroxide, cuprous oxide, basic cupric chloride, basic copper carbonate, copper terphthalate, copper naphthenate and Bordeaux mixture; and (g) miscellaneous fungicides such as: diphenyl, sultone, dodecylguanidine acetate (dodine), phenylmercuric acetate, N-ethyl-mercuri-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-3,6-endomethano-3,4,5,6,7,7-hexachlorophthalimide, p-dimethylaminobenzene sodium sulfonate, methyl isothiocyanate, 1-thiocyano-2,4-dinitrobenzene, 1-phenylthiosemicarbazide, nickel-containing compounds, calcium cyanamide, lime sulfur, 1,2-bis(3-methoxycarbonyl-2-thioureido) benzene (thiophanate-methyl). The S-beta-dicarbonyl substituted beta-thioacrylamides of the present invention can be prepared by reacting an unsubstituted or substituted 4-isothiazolin-3-one with a suitable nucleophilic reagent. This reaction can be schematically represented as follows: ##STR4## wherein R.sub.1 is (C.sub.5 -C.sub.10)alkyl or (C.sub.5 -C.sub.7)cycloalkyl; R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently selected organic radicals which, when taken together, can form a cyclic structure; and Z.sub.1 and Z.sub.2 are independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, and (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl. Preferably, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently selected from the group consisting of unsubstituted and substituted alkoxy, alkyl, amino, alkylamino, arylamino, aralkylamino, alkarylamino, heterocyclic substituted amino and alkylamino, N-containing heterocycles, aryl, and alkenyl groups. Thus, some preferred, but not limiting, nucleophiles which can be used to cleave the 4-isothiazolin-3- one ring include compounds such as beta-diketones, beta-ketoesters, N-substituted acetoacetamides, acetoacetanilides, N-substituted malonamide esters, and N,N'-substituted malonamides. In preparing the compounds of the invention, equimolar amounts of the 4-isothiazolin-3-one and the nucleophilic reagent are generally used. The convenient in-situ formation of sodium ethoxide from sodium metal in absolute ethanol can be advantageously used to facilitate the reaction between the 4-isothiazolin-3-one and the nucleophilic reagent by allowing the abstraction of a proton from the R.sub.2 --CO--CH.sub.2 --CO--R.sub.3 nucleophilic reagent to take place. Alternative means for proton abstraction which are well known to those skilled in the art include, but are not limited to, the utilization of sodium hydride, lithium diisopropylamide which is conveniently made in situ from diisopropyl amine and n-butyllithium, and tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride. The reaction between the nucleophilic reagent and the 4-isothiazolin-3-one is generally carried out at a temperature of about -10.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C., and preferably between 0.degree.-25.degree. C. in that range. Various organic solvents can be used in carrying out the reaction, if desired, with alcoholic solvents, acyclic or cyclic ethers, alkanes, or dialkyl amides being preferred. However, any solvent or mixture of solvents which will not interfere with the reaction can be used. Under high pH conditions this reaction is reversable, resulting in compositions comprising both the compounds and the 4-isothiazolin-3-one precurser. All of the 4-isothiazolin-3-one intermediates can be prepared by the cyclization of a substituted disulfidediamide having the formula: ##STR5## wherein Y.sub.1 and Y.sub.2 are hydrogen or (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl groups and R.sub.1 is defined as above. The cyclization is accomplished by reacting the disulfidediamide with a halogenating agent. Any halogenating agent can be employed in this reaction, with chlorine and sulfuryl chloride being preferred. Cyclization of the disulfidediamide will take place when 3 mole equivalents of halogenating agent/mole equivalent of disulfidediamide are employed in the reaction. By providing an excess of halogenating agent, the 4-isothiazolin-3-one may be halogenated at the 4- and/or 5-positions of the ring. Where 5 mole equivalents of halogenating agent are available, mono-halogenation can take place. For dihalogenation, 7 mole equivalents of halogenating agent are required. The cyclization process will proceed over a broad temperature range and temperature is not critical to the reaction. Generally, the cyclization will be carried out in the range of -10.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. The reaction is carried out in an inert non-aqueous solvent, such as ethyl acetate, ethylene dichloride, benzene, toluene, xylene or the like. The following examples will further illustrate this invention, but are not intended to limit it in any way. All parts and percentages are by weight and all temperatures in degrees Centigrade, unless otherwise stated.
EXAMPLE 1 Preparation of N-n-Octyl-cis-3-[3-(2,4-pentanedionyl)thio]acrylamide To a stirred solution of 2.41 mL (0.0235 mol) of 2,4-pentanedione in 20 mL of absolute ethanol was under nitrogen was added 8.78 mL (0.0235 mol) of a 21 wt % solution of sodium ethoxide in absolute ethanol. After 20 min a pale yellow slurry formed. This mixture was cooled to 0.degree. C. and a solution of 5 g (0.0235 mol) of 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one in 5 mL of absolute ethanol was added dropwise. After the addition the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and to stir for 5 h. The mixture was then poured into 200 mL of 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed once with water and several times with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate until the washes were neutral in pH. The organic layer was then washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and filtered. Removal of solvents gave a light yellow solid which was recrystallized from hexane/ethyl acetate to afford 4.84 g (66% yield) of N-n-octyl-cis-[3-(2,4-pentanedionyl)thio]acrylamide as a white crystalline solid, m.p. 87.degree.-89.degree. C. EXAMPLE 2-7 Preparation of Other Compounds of the Invention Example 1 was repeated with the replacement of the 2-n-octyl-4- isothiazolin-3-one by 2-n-octyl-4,5-dichloro-4-isothiazolin-3-one, 2-n-pentyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, 2-n-heptyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, 2-n-hexyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, 2-cyclohexyl-4,5-dichloro-4-isothiazolin-3-one, and 2-n-hexyl-4,5-dichloro-4-isothiazolin-3-one to obtain Examples 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, respectively, as shown in Table 1. The preparation of these isothiazolone-3-one intermediates is described as follows: A. Preparation of the 2-n-Octyl-4,5-dichloro-4-isothiazolin-3-one Intermediate for Example 2 In a four-necked, 3-liter flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, a thermometer, a chlorine inlet, and a condenser connected to an acid scrubber was suspended 432.0 g (1.0 mol) of N,N'-di-n-octyl-3,3'-dithiodipropionamide in 930 ml of ethyl acetate. The suspension was heated to 60.degree. C. and a total of 490 g (6.9 mol) of chlorine was introduced beneath the surface at a constant flow rate for 3 hours. During the first hour of the chlorine addition, the reaction was mildly exothermic and the temperature was maintained at 60.degree. C. by external cooling. After the initial mild exotherm, the temperature started falling and external heating was required to hold the temperature at 60.degree. C. After the chlorine addition, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give 590 g of amber colored, viscous liquid. The crude product was dissolved in 500 ml of hexane with stirring and cooled to 0.degree. C. The solid which separated was removed by filtration and dried to give about 310 g (55% yield) of the 2-n-octyl-4,5-dichloro-4-isothiazolin-3-one intermediate, mp=44.degree.-47.degree. C. B. Preparation of 2-n-Penyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one Intermediate for Example 3 To a suspension of 209 g (0.6 mol) of N,N'-bis-(n-pentyl)-3,3'-dithiodipropionamide in 600 ml of ethyl acetate at 40.degree. C. was added 134.0 g (1.9 mol) of chlorine over a one hour period. After the addition, the resulting mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, degassed, and evaporated under reduced pressure to give the hydrochloride salt of 2-n-pentyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one as a solid. This solid was added to a mixture of 300 ml of water and 200 ml of chloroform. Solid sodium bicarbonate was added in portions with stirring unitl the aqueous phase was at pH 7-8. The layers were separated and the aqueous phase extracted with additional chloroform. The combined chloroform extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to give a brown oil. Vacuum distillation of the oil gave 161 g (82% yield) of the 2-n-pentyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one intermediate, bp=118.degree. C./0.05 mm. C. Preparation of 2-n-Heptyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one Intermediate for Example 4 To a slurry of 75 g (0.185 mol) of N,N'-bis-(n-heptyl)-3,3'-dithiodipropionamide in 600 ml of toluene was added 39.4 g (0.555 mol) of chlorine over a one hour period at 25.degree.-40.degree. C. The mixture was stirred for one additional hour and cooled to room temperature. The yellow solution was washed with water and the toluene phase was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residual oil was dissolved in ether and then saturated with HCl gas. The resulting solid precipitate was removed by filtration and dissolved in water. The aqueous solution was extracted several times with ether. The combined ether extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 30.7 g (83% yield) of the 2-n-heptyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one intermediate as a heavy, colorless oil which was not distilled. D. Preparation of 2-n-Hexyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one Intermediate for Example 5 To a mixture of 37.6 g (0.1 mol) of N,N'-bis-(n-hexyl)-3,3'dithiodipropionamide and 400 ml of ethylene dichloride at room temperature was added 42.2 g (0.315 mol) of sulfuryl chloride over a one hour period. The clear yellow solution was stirred at room temperature overnight and then concentrated. The residue was diluted with ether which was washed with sodium bicarbonate solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated to give a brown oil. The oil was distilled at 105.degree.-115.degree. C./0.04 mm to give 35 g of crude product. This distillate was dissolved in ether and treated with HCl gas to precipitate the hydrochloride salt of the 2-n-hexyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one. This salt was removed by filtration, triturated with water, and then extracted several times with ether. The combined ether extract was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residual oil was vacuum distilled to give 28.8 g (87% yield) of pure 2-n-hexyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one intermediate as a yellow oil, bp=102.degree. C./0.03 mm. E. Preparation of 2-Cyclohexyl-4,5-dichloro-4-isothiazolin-3-one Intermediate for Example 6 To 400 ml of ethyl acetate at 0.degree. C. was added simultaneously over a one hour period 148 g (0.4 mol) of N,N'-bis-(cyclohexyl)-3,3'-dithiodipropionamide, in forty 3.7 g portions at 1.5 minute intervals, and 116.5 g (1.64 mol) of chlorine. The temperature was maintained between 0.degree.-5.degree. C. during the addition and then the mixture was allowed to warm to 15.degree. C. The resulting solid was collected and found to be cyclohexylamine hydrochloride. Concentration of the filtrate gave additional cyclohexylamine hydrochloride mixed with an oil. The oil was dissolved by trituration with acetone and then filtered. The filtrate was decolorized using activated charcoal and evaporated to a mush. Recrystallization of the mush from 300 ml of methanol yielded 21.6 g (11% yield) of the 2-cyclohexyl-4,5-dichloro-4-isothiazolin-3-one intermediate, mp=113.5.degree.-115.5.degree. C. F. Preparation of 2-n-Hexyl-4,5-dichloro-4-isothiazolin-3-one Intermediate for Example 7 To a solution of 9.2 g (0.05 mol) of N,N'-bis-(n-hexyl)-3,3'-dithiodipropionamide in 100 ml of ethyl acetate at room temperature was added 10.65 g (0.15 mol) of chlorine over a 30 minute period. During the addition, the temperature of the mixture rose to 53.degree. C. and slowly dropped near the end. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure.

the results reported in Table 3. The Speed of Kill (SOK) Test measures the loss of cell viability in an aqueous suspension of bacterial cells during a four hour period when these cells are contacted with a defined concentration of the test compound in synthetic hard water (SHW). A stock solution or dispersion of the test compound, typically at a concentration of 1%, is made in a 5:3:2 solvent solution of acetone, methanol, and water. The SHW is made by taking one liter of sterile deionized water and adding the following solutions to it: 1. 2 ml of a solution of 31.74 g of MgCl.sub.2 and 73.99 g of CaCl.sub.2 in 1000 ml of sterile distilled water which has been heat sterillized. 2. 4 ml of a solution of 56.03 g of NaHCO.sub.3 in 1000 ml of water which has been filter sterillized. The combined solution is then filter sterilized to yield the SHW. A volume of the stock solution is dispensed into the SHW to give an initial test compound starting concentration of 500 ppm. When the test is ready to be run, each vessel in the dilution series, except the first vessel, contains an equal volume of the SHW mixture with the test compound. The first vessel contains twice the volume of SHW with the starting concentration of test compound. One half of the SHW from the first vessel is transferred to the second vessel. After being mixed, one half the resulting volume is removed from the second vessel and transferred to the third vessel. The entire cycle is repeated sufficiently to give a series of concentrations amounting to 500, 250, 125, 63, 31, 16, 8, and 4 ppm, respectively. Each vessel is then inoculated with a cell suspension of the ps.fl bacteria. The bacteria were grown on a 1% agar slant tube and incubated for 18-24 hours at 30.degree. C. Thereafter, the tube is washed with four ml of sterile water. This was is diluted to a density of 60 to 80 Nephlolmeter Turbidity Units (NTU). To 100 ml of the SHW containing the various concentrations of the test compound is added 0.75 ml of inoculum from the 60-80 NTU wash with good mixing. After 4 hours from the time of addition at 30.degree. C., 5 .mu.l of solution is transferred to 100 .mu.l of a broth solution in order to recover any living cells. This mixture is incubated for 24 hours at 30.degree. C. before noting the concentration in ppm at which each compound killed >99.999% of the cells in the SHW solution. A minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value is obtained using a broth, two-fold serial dilution test performed as follows: A stock solution or dispersion of the test compound, typically at a concentration of 1%, is made in a 5:3:2 solvent solution of acetone, methanol, and water. A volume of the stock solution is dispensed into culture media to give an initial starting test concentration of 500 ppm compound. When the test is ready to be done, each vessel in the dilution series, except the first vessel, contains an equal volume of compound free broth. The first vessel contains twice the volume of broth with the starting concentration of test compound. One half of the broth from the first vessel is transferred to the second vessel. After being mixed, one half the resulting volume is removed from the second vessel and transferred to the third vessel. The entire cycle is repeated sufficiently to give a series of concentrations amounting to 500, 250, 125, 63, 31, 16, 8, and 4 ppm, respectively. Each vessel is then inoculated with a cell suspension of the appropriate test organism. Bacteria are grown in broth and fungi on agar slants for a time and at a temperature appropriate to the species being tested. At the end of the growth period, the broth is vortexed to disperse the cells. In the case of fungi, the spores are harvested by pipetting water onto the slant and dislodging the spores with a sterile loop. The cell/spore suspension is standardized by controlling incubation time, temperature, and the volume of the diluent. The suspension is then used to inoculate the vessels containing the broth compound. The vessels are then incubated at the appropriate temperature. After the incubation, the vessels are examined for growth/no growth. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is defined as the lowest concentration of compound that results in complete inhibition of growth of the test organism. The organisms tested to demonstrate biocidal activity include: BACTERIA Pseudomonas fluorescens (Ps.fl), gram negative Pseudomonas aerugenosa (Ps.ae), gram negative Escherichia coli (E.c), gram negative Staphylococcus aureus (S.a), gram positive FUNGI Aspergillus niger (A.n) Aureobasidium pullulans (A.p) TABLE 3______________________________________SOK and MIC Test Results in PpmCom-poundof Ex.

Speed of Kill Test The SOK test measures the viability of Pseudomonas fluorescens inoculum in synthetic hard water (SHW) when exposed for 24 hours to a 100 ppm acetone solution of a given compound. An acetone solution of the compound was prepared at 10,000 ppm and 0.1 ml was added to 9.8 ml of SHW. 0.1 ml of Ps fl inoculum at 10,000,000 cells per ml was added to the SHW, providing 10 ml of solution which was incubated for 24 hours prior to recovery into Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB). To recover and measure the living cells, 2.5 ml of the SHW mix was transferred to a reservoir from which 2.5 .mu.l was then transferred 8 times to microtiter wells containing 225 .mu.l of TSB. Each of the 8 transfers was then serially diluted seven times, providing eight replicates of eight dilutions. The concentration at which no living cells were recovered was used to back calculate the log reduction. The data was entered into the database, and the log reductions calculated automatically. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Test The MIC test measures the viability of Pseudomonas fluorescens inoculum in TSB when exposed for 72 hours to varying concentrations of test compound. A 125 .mu.l aliquot of 10,000 ppm test compound in acetone was added to 4.88 ml of TSB to provide a 250 ppm solution. From this solution, 100 .mu.L was transferred to the first row of two microtiter plate columns. Both replicates and five additional compounds were all serially diluted 1:1 to a final concentration of 0.8 ppm in TSB. Inoculation was accomplished by diluting a 24 hr Ps fl culture, four mls per 36 mls of phosphate buffer solution. A Dynatech autoinoculator was used to transfer 1.5 .mu.l of this cell suspension to the microtiter plates. The plates were incubated at 30.degree. C. for 3 days before the lowest concentration at which no growth occurs was recorded in the database. The SOK data and MIC test data on Ps.fl, Ps.ae, E.c, and S.a. bacteria and Candida albicans (C.alb), A.n and A.p fungi are listed in Table 4.

EXAMPLE 71 The compounds of Examples 1-68 were tested for fungicial activity according to the following test procedures with the results as reported in Table 5. The compounds of this invention were tested for fungicidal activity in vivo against cucumber downy mildew (CDM), rice blast (RB), rice sheath blight (RSB), tomato late blight (TLB), wheat powdery mildew (WPM), wheat stem rust (WSR) and wheat leaf rust (WLR). In tests on cereals (except for rice plants used for testing rice blast), the plants were trimmed about 24 hours prior to the application of the fungicide compound to provide a uniform plant height and to facilitate uniform application of the compound and inoculation with the fungus. The compounds were dissolved in a 2:1:1 mixture of water, acetone, and methanol, sprayed onto the plants, allowed to dry (four to six hours), and then the plants were inoculated with the fungus. Each test utilized control plants which were sprayed with the water, acetone, and methanol mixture and inoculated with the fungus. The remainder of the technique of each of the tests is given below and the results are reported as percent disease control (percentages of plants treated with the compounds of the present invention lacking disease signs or symptoms compared to the untreated control plants). Cucumber Downy Mildew (CDM) Pseudoperonospora cubensis was maintained on leaves of live Marketer cucumber plants in a constant temperature room at 65.degree. F. to 75.degree. F. in humid air with moderate light intensity for 7 to 8 days. A water suspension of the spores from infested leaves was obtained and the spore concentration was adjusted to about 100,000 per ml of water. Marketer cucumber seedlings were inoculated by spraying the underside of the leaves with a DeVilbiss atomizer until small droplets were observed on the leaves. The inoculated plants were incubated in a mist chamber for 24 hours at about 70.degree. F. and then subsequently incubated for 6 to 7 days in a controlled temperature room under mist at 65.degree. F. to 75.degree. F. Seven days after inoculation, the percent disease control was determined. Rice Blast (RB) Nato rice plants were inoculated with Piricularia oryzae (about 20,000 conidia per ml) by spraying the leaves and stems with an airbrush until a uniform film of inoculum was observed on the leaves. The inoculate plants were incubated in a humid environment (75.degree. F. to 85.degree. F.) for about 24 hours, then placed in a greenhouse environment (70.degree. F. to 75.degree. F.). Seven to eight days after inoculation, the percent disease control was determined. Rice Sheath Blight (RSB) Pellicularia filamentosa (f. sp. sasiki) was cultured on an autoclaved mixture of crushed rice seeds and potato dextrose broth (100 gms of rice seeds per 30 ml of potato dextrose broth) in a 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask. After 10 days, the culture was blended in a blender to produce a uniform inoculum. Approximately one teaspoon of inoculum was spread among Lebonnet rice seedlings on the soil surface of each pot (3 inch diameter). The inoculated seedlings were incubated for 5 days in a humidity cabinet (85.degree. F. to 90.degree. F.). Percent disease controls were determined immediately after removing the seedlings from the cabinet. Tomato Late Blight (TLB) Phytophthora infestans was cultured on four week old Pixie tomato plants in a controlled environment room (65.degree. F. to 70.degree. F. and 100% relative humidity). After storage, the spores were washed from the leaves with water and dispersed by DeVilbiss atomizer over three week old Pixie tomato plants which had been sprayed previously with experimental fungicides. The inoculated plants were placed in a humidity cabinet at 70.degree. F. and constant mist for 24 hours for infection. The plants were then moved to the controlled environment room as above and scored after three more days incubation. Disease control levels were recorded as percent control four days after inoculation and five days after spraying the compounds. Wheat Powdery Mildew (WPM) Erysiphe graminis (f. sp. tritici) was cultured on Pennol wheat seedlings in a controlled temperature room at 65.degree. F. to 75.degree. F. Mildew spores were shaken from the culture plants onto Pennol wheat seedlings which had been sprayed previously with the fungicide compound. The inoculated seedlings were kept in a controlled temperature room at 65.degree. F. to 75.degree. F. and subirrigated. The percent disease control was rated 8 to 10 days after the inoculation. Wheat Stem Rust (WSR) Puccinia graminis (f. sp. tritici Race 15B-2) was cultured on Wanzer wheat seedlings for a period of 14 days in a greenhouse. A water suspension of the spores from infested plants was obtained and the spore concentration was adjusted to about 200,000 spores per ml of deionized water. Wanzer wheat plants which had been previously treated with the fungicide compounds were inoculated by applying the stem rust spore suspension, until runoff, with a DeVilbiss atomizer at 5 lbs. per square inch air pressure. After inoculation, the plants were placed in a humid environment at approximately 75.degree. F. where they were exposed to 12 hours of continuous darkness followed by a minimum of 3 to 4 hours of light having an intensity of about 500 footcandles. The temperature in the chamber did not exceed 85.degree. F. At the end of the light period, the plants were placed in a greenhouse where they were permitted to grow for a period of two weeks at which time the percent disease control was determined. Wheat Leaf Rust (WLR) Puccinia recondita (f. sp. tritici Races PKB and PLD) was cultured on seven day old wheat (cultivar Fielder) over a 14 day period in the greenhouse. Spores were collected from the leaves with a cyclone vacuum or by settling on aluminum foil. The spores were cleaned by sieving through a 250 micron opening screen and stored or used fresh. Storage employed sealed bags in an Ultralow freezer. When stored, spores must be heat shocked for two minutes at 40.degree. F. before use. A spore suspension is prepared from dry uredia by adding 20 mg (9.5 million) per ml of Soltrol oil. The suspension is dispensed into gelatin capsules (0.7 ml capacity) which attach to the oil atomizers. One capsule is used per flat of twenty of the two inch square pots of seven day old Fielder wheat. After waiting for at least 15 minutes for the oil to evaporate from the wheat leaves, the plants are placed in a dark mist chamber (18.degree.-20.degree. C. and 100% relative humidity) for 24 hours. The plants are then put in the greenhouse for the latent period and scored after 10 days for disease levels. Protective and curative tests were inoculated one day after and two days, respectively, before spraying the plants with the test chemicals.
