Substituted azol-1-ylmethanes

摘要

Azol-1-ylmethanes substituted on the methane carbon atom by (a) phenyl or lower alkyl and (b) by a biphenyl-4-yl, 4-phenoxyphenyl, 4-phenylthiophenyl, 4-phenylsulfinylphenyl or 4-phenylsulfonylphenyl group are antimycotic and antibacterial agents. The compounds, of which (biphenyl-4-yl)phenyl-imidazol-1-ylmethane is a typical example, are prepared from the correspondingly substituted carbinol through treatment with thionyl-bis-azole or from the correspondingly substituted methyl halide with the azole or a derivative thereof.
