Trialkylamines 3-(2-benzylphenoxy)-l-N,N-diethylaminpropan-2-ol (4a), 3-(4-benzylphenoxy)-l-N,N-diethylaminpropan-2-ol (4b), 3-(5-n-hutoxyphcnoxy)-l- N,N-diethylaminpropan-2-ol (4c) and 4,4'-bis(3-N,N-diethylamin-2- hydroxypropanoxy)biphenyl (9) were prepared from respective phenols and converted into corresponding bis-quaternary salts by reacting (4a-c) with malonyl chloride and (9) with ethyl bromide. These salts were tested for biological activity on germination, seedling growth and adventitious root formation on hypocotyl cuttings of Vigina radiata (SML-668). The results of biological studies of different compounds show that these salts do not inhibit seed germination and rather promotory in increasing shoot elongation if used from 10-50 μg/ml. However, all those compounds showed inhibitory action at higher concentration i.e. 100 μg/ml.
