Bactericidal effect of acrylic acid esters.
The antibacterial effect of p-Cl, p-Br, p-CH3, O-NO2, M-NO2, and p-NO2  substitutions of dimethylaminoethyl-alpha-phenyl-cinnamate on Bacillus subtilis, Sarcina lutea, and Escherichia coli was studied. The compounds were found to be more active against B. subtilis and S. lutea than against E. coli.  The NO2 group in the para position was found to have the highest activity compared with the meta and ortho positions.
