Process for preparing substituted nitroimidazoles

摘要

2-(P-Fluorophenyl)-1-alkyl or 1-(2'-hydroxyalkyl)-5-nitroimidazoles are prepared by reacting a dialkoxy-carbonium salt, or a 1,3-dioxolenium salt, respectively, with 2-(p-fluorophenyl)-1-alkoxymethyl-4-nitroimidazole. The compounds prepared are useful in the control of enterohepatitis in poultry, especially in turkeys.
