NAPHTHYL CYANIDE DERIVATIVE, ITS PRODUCTION AND AGRICULTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL GERMICIDE COMPRISING THE SAME DERIVATIVE AS ACTIVE INGREDIENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject new compound useful as an agricultural and horticultural germicide. ;SOLUTION: This compound is represented by formula I [Ar is a (substituted) phenyl or pyridyl; R is H, a 1-3C alkyl or alkoxy or a halogen; X is N or C; Y is a 1-6C alkylene which may contain O or S in the chain], e.g. 2-(2'- chlorobenzyloxy)-α-(1-imidazolyl-1-naphthylmethyl cyanide. The compound represented by formula I is obtained by reacting a compound represented by formula II with an imidazole derivative or a triazole derivative represented by formula III usually in a solvent (an aprotic solvent, etc.) by usually using a base (sodium hydroxide, etc.) in an amount of 1-3 equiv. based on the compound represented by formula II or imidazole, etc., in an excessive amount based on the compound represented by formula II at -10 to +100°C (preferably ambient temperature to +80°C) for 0.5-24hr (preferably 3-6hr).;COPYRIGHT: (C)1998,JPO
