Heterocyclic imidazolyl vinyl ethers and use of same as fungicides or bactericides

摘要

Aryl-imidazol-1-yl vinyl ethers and their acid addition salts are disclosed, wherein the imidazolyl vinyl ether has the formula: <IMAGE> Ar in the formula represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl or heterocyclic radical; R represents hydrogen or a C1-C12 alkyl or cycloalkyl (saturated or unsaturated) or Ar as above; Im represents a 1-H-imidazol-1-yl group (unsubstituted or substituted); and Y represents a saturated or unsaturated C1-C12 alkyl or a group -Z-Ar in which Ar has the above meaning and -Z- is a saturated or unsaturated C1-C12 alkylene wherein each of the alkyl and the alkylene may have a carbon chain once or twice interrupted by or, in the case of the alkylene, terminated on its Ar-end by oxy, thio, sulfinyl or sulfonyl bridges, always with the proviso that at least one of Ar and Y is a heterocyclic radical. These compounds are wide-spectrum fungicides and bactericides, and the preferred compounds among them are hydrophilic.
