Patent ID: 7084208

Claim:
A method for making a microbiocidal polymer, said method comprising: admixing a compound having the formula: wherein: A is a member selected from the group consisting of NH, N—R 8 and CR 1 R 2 , wherein R 8 is a halogen; R 1 and R 2 , are each independently selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted (C 1 –C 6 )alkyl, optionally substituted (C 2 –C 6 )alkenyl, optionally substituted (C 2 –C 6 )alkynyl, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted (C 1 –C 6 )alkoxy, optionally substituted aryl and optionally substituted heteroaryl; or, R 1 and R 2 and the carbon to which they are bound join to form an optionally substituted carbocyclic or optionally substituted heterocyclic ring; Q is a member selected from the group consisting of C(O), NH, N—R 9 and CR 3 R 4 , wherein R 9 is a halogen; R 3 and R 4 , are each independently selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted (C 1 –C 6 )alkyl, optionally substituted (C 2 –C 6 )alkenyl, optionally substituted (C 2 –C 6 )alkynyl, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted (C 1 –C 6 )alkoxy, optionally substituted aryl and optionally substituted heteroaryl; or, R 3 and R 4 and the carbon to which they are bound join to form an optionally substituted carbocyclic or optionally substituted heterocyclic ring; X is a member selected from the group consisting of C(O), C(O)—NR 5 and CR 6 R 7 , wherein R 5 is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, optionally substituted (C 2 –C 6 )alkenyl and optionally substituted (C 1 –C 6 )alkyl; R 6 and R 7 , are each independently selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted (C 1 –C 6 )alkyl, optionally substituted (C 2 –C 6 )alkenyl, optionally substituted (C 2 –C 6 )alkynyl, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted (C 1 –C 6 )alkoxy, optionally substituted aryl and optionally substituted heteroaryl; or, R 6 and R 7 and the carbon to which they are bound join to form an optionally substituted carbocyclic or optionally substituted heterocyclic ring; and Z is a member selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted (C 1 –C 3 )alkylene, C(O), or a single bond, with a vinyl monomer and a second polymer in a reaction mixture to make a polymer; and thereafter treating said polymer with a halogenated solution to make said microbiocidal polymer.
