6.5 g (0.05 mol) of chlorocarbonylsulfenyl chloride, dissolved in 60 ml of dioxane, are add d to 4.0 g (0.029 mol) of salicylamide. The reaction mixture is heated at reflux for 3 hours. A clear solution is formed. Since TLC (=thin layer chromatography) indicates a small amount of unreacted starting material, a further 0.5 ml of chlorocarbonylsulfenyl chloride is added and heating is continued at reflux, with stirring, for a further one hour. The solvent is then removed in vacuo and the residue is purified by column chromatography (5% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether).[0110]

The reaction is monitored by TLC. When the reaction is complete, the reaction mixture, which still contains some suspended particles, is filtered. The filtrate is concentrated to form a solid compound which is purified by column chromatography (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate mixture).[0113]

Heating is continued at reflux for a further 6 hours. When the reaction is complete, the reaction mixture is washed with NaHCO[0116]₃. The solid portion is separated off and purified by column chromatography (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate mixture).
Yield: 1.5 g (23% of theory)[0117]

Determination of the Minimum Inhibiting Concentration (MIC) in the Agar Incorporation Test (MIC Test)[0152]



	Medium:	casein/soybean flour peptone agar (Merck)
		*Sabouraud 4% glucose agar (Merck)
	Dilution medium:	sterile 0.85% NaCl solution
	Test organisms:	Staphylococcus aureusATCC 9144
		Staphylococcus epidermidisATCC 12228
		Corynebacterium xerosisATCC 373
		Escherichia coliNCTC 8196
		Pseudomonas aeruginosaCIP A-22
		Candida albicansATCC 10231
		*Aspergillus nigerATCC 6275
	Incubation:	24 hours at 37° C.
		*3 days at 28° C.
	Test solution:	1% stock solutions of all the test substances
		in a suitable solvent are prepared and diluted in
		dilution series to final concentrations of from
		1000 ppm to 10 ppm.

Test Principle:[0153]

0.3 ml of the dilution stage in question is mixed with 15 ml of still-liquid nutrient medium. When the nutrient substrate has solidified, 10 μl portions of the following organism dilutions of the test strains in 0.85% NaCl solution are spotted onto the agar medium:[0154]



	Staphylococcus aureusATCC 9144	1:100 dilution
	Staphylococcus epidermidisATCC 12228	1:100 dilution
	Corynebacterium xerosisATCC 373	1:100 dilution
	Escherichia coliNCTC 8196	1:1000 dilution
	Pseudomonas aeruginosaCIP A-22	1:1000 dilution
	Candida albicansATCC 10′231	1:10 dilution
	Aspergillus nigerATCC 6275	1:10 dilution

The plates are incubated at 37° C. for 24 hours ([0155]A. niger3 days at 28° C.) and then the highest dilution of the test substance at which growth is just no longer discernible (corresponds to MIC) is determined.
The test results are given in Table 4.[0156]
