1-(3-Pyridyl)-2,2,2-trihaloethanes

摘要

The invention relates to compounds of the general formula <IMAGE> where A represents hydrogen or an acyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, n is 0 or 1, x, y and z are 0 or integers assuming values from 1 to 3, and the total of x + y + z is always 3, and R represents a) hydrogen, optionally branched alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or furyl if z = 3, b) optionally branched alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, optionally substituted phenyl, pyridyl, thienyl or furyl when z = 0 and c) hydrogen or the meaning given under b) when z = 1 or 2. The compounds according to the invention have fungicidal properties.
