1-CARBONYL-1-PHENYL-2-AZOLYL-ETHANOL DERIVATIVES AS MICROBICIDES AND PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS AND THEIR INTERMEDIATES

摘要

Novel 1-carbonyl-1-phenoxyphenyl-2-azolylethanol derivatives of the general formula I wherein R1 and R2 are each independently hydrogen, halogen C1-C4 alkyl or CF3, and Rn denotes one to three alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkoxy, haloalkyl, halogen and/or cyano groups, R4 is hydrogen, C1-C10 alkyl, C3-C6 cycloalkyl or unsubstituted or substituted phenyl, X is -CH= or -N=, R5 is hydrogen, C1-C12 alkyl, C2-C4 alkenyl, C2-C4 alkynyl, or unsubstituted or substituted benzyl; and A is the radical wherein R6 and R7 are each independently C1-C12 alkyl, unsubstituted or substituted phenyl, or both together form a C2-C4 alkylene bridge which is unsubstituted or substituted by one or more identical or different members selected from the group consisting of C1-C4 alkyl, C2-C4 alkenyloxymethyl or C1-C3 alkoxymethyl; and to the acid addition salts, quaternary azolium salts and metal complexes thereof, are useful for controlling phytopathogenic microorganisms and/or regulating plant growth.
