Notes:
The antifungal property of the gas phases of a number of alkenoic and alkynoic acids and esters was investigated by placing the compounds in desiccators containing suspended bread. The following compounds inhibited mold development at a concentration of 20 mg per 2.6-liter desiccator: dimethyl fumarate, diethyl fumarate, propenoic acid, methyl and ethyl propenoate, methyl and ethyl propiolate, methyl-2,4-hexadienoate, 2,4- hexadien-1-ol, diethylethylidene malonate, 4-penten-1-ol, and 2-cyclohexen-1-one. Other compounds were active at 200 mg per desiccator: 3-methallyl alcohol; allyl acetone; diallyl ether; propiolic acid; methyl, ethyl, and vinyl crotonate; ethyl-2,4-hexadienoate; methyl and ethyl-2-hexenoate; ethyl-3-hexenoate; 1,5-hexadien-3-01; methylmaleic acid; methylmalonic acid; and 1-penten-3-ol.
