Abstract: | Enhancement of magnesium bromide diethyl etherate in addition reaction of trimethylsilylmethylmagnesium chloride 5 to 2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)acetophenones 6 allowed us to prepare silicon-containing azole derivatives, which were tested for fungicidal activity and phytotoxicity. Among them, 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-3-trimethylsilylpropan-2-ol 1a was determined to be the most effective and potential candidate for novel fungicide. |
