Claim:
A pyrimidine N-oxide compound having the formula (A) in which n is an integer ranging from 2 to 12; R 1 is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl radical, optionally substituted with a group —OR′, —NR′R″ or —COOR′, R 1 having a total of from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or R 1 is NR′R″; R 2 is hydrogen, —NR 3 R 4 , —OR 3 , or —SR 3 , wherein R 3 and R 4 , which may be identical or different, are each a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl radical, optionally substituted with a group —OR′, —NR′R″ or —COOR′, R 2 when not hydrogen having a total of from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, with the proviso that R 3 and R 4 may form part of a saturated or unsaturated ring member of 4 to 7 atoms, optionally containing at least one hetero atom; and R′ and R″, which may be identical or different, are each hydrogen or a saturated, linear or branched C 1 -C 3 alkyl radical, or salt thereof.
