  This is a division of application Ser. No. 154,698, filed June 18, 1971, now abandoned.  
  This invention relates to certain new nitrogen containing organic compounds and to a novel process for the preparation of these compounds. More particularly, this invention relates to N,N&#39;-diacyl derivatives of imidazolidine P. N-C- CH2 l CH2 cn N I \C R and N,N&#39;-diacyl derivatives of hexahydropyrimidine where R and R in formulas l and I] may be the same organic radical or different organic radicals containing from one to about twenty-one carbons, and may be saturated or unsaturated alkyl groups, or addition or substitution products thereof. The substituted imidazolidines and hexahydropyrimidines that are the subject of this invention are characterized by the fact that as growth inhibitors, they are effective against a variety of pathogenic molds. I  
  The findings herein disclosed are considered remarkable in that in some notable instances compounds that are closely related from the point of view of chemical architecture exhibit quite opposite effects against the same organisms. For example, one compound may exhibit properties as a growth inhibitor against one particular organism while a closely related counterpart may serve to promote increased growth for the same organism. Some of these new compounds exhibit broad antimycotic spectrum,-whereas others exhibit selective antimycotic spectrum.  
  The compounds which are the subject of this invention are represented by formulas I and II in which the following equation:  
  0 ER 9. PI H+ RCNH(CH NHCR&#39; HCHO --9 (CH CH2 where n is 2 or 3. The reaction is unexpected since when n is l or a number greater than 3 no reaction occurs and the diamide may be recovered quantitatively from the reaction mixture by removal of volatile materials.  
  The bioactivity of these various new nitrogencontaining compounds has been established by us in vitro but, as will be apparent to those skilled in the arts pertaining to the growth inhibition of bacteria, yeast, and molds, the compounds, besides being used as such, will for utilitarian purposes commonly be formulated using a diluent that can be either liquid, viscous, or solid.  
  A wide variety of extending agents is operable, the only significant requirement being that the diluent or extender be inert with respect to the compound involved. Petroleum jellies, various alcohols and polyols, vegetable oils and the like are suitable.  
  Dehydrated mycological agar at pH 7.0 was used to test the inhibition of the test organisms by the compounds being screened. Suspensions of the test organisms were prepared by transferring a loop of spores into sterile saline. Hardened agar plates were inoculated by placing 3 drops of the suspension onto the agar. The micro-organisms were spread over the surface of the plates with sterile glass rods. These plates were employed in the activity estimation against microbial growth. Filter paper discs 6.5 mm in diameter, made from Whatman Number 1 filter paper were used to evaluate the liquid compounds. Stainless steel cylinders 5 mm ID. were used for the samples which were solids. The paper discs wetted until they are completely saturated with the test compound or stainless steel cylinders containing the test solid compound were placed on the surface of the agar plates inoculated with the test organisms. To eliminate any errors which could result from an insufficient number of tests, a miniumum of three experiments, at different times, employing duplicate plates were made for each compound under test. All plates were incubated at the optimum growing temperature for each organisms and readings were taken after 24, 48, 72, and hr periods.  
  The organisms used in the tests were Trichoplzyton rubrum, T. violaceum, Microsporum gypseum, and Aspergillus flavus. They were obtained from stock cultures. The data from these tests are tabulated in Table I. The physical constants and analytical data for the 1,3-diacyl derivatives of imidazolidine and hexahydropyrimidine used in the tests are tabulated in Table 11.  
  Specific examples showing the preparation of each of the new compounds being claimed are set forth below along with appropriate data in tabular form which is being submitted for the purpose of establishing the growth inhibiting properties of the claimed compounds.
