摘要

Compounds of the formula : CHEM and stereoisomers thereof, wherein R1 and R2, which are the same or different , are hydrogen, cyano or halogen (fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine) or optionally substituted alkyl; V is either oxygen or sulphur; W, X, Y and Z, which may be the same or different, are hydrogen, halogen, nitro, cyano, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted cycloalkylalkyl, optionally substituted aralkyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted aryloxy, optionally substituted alkoxy, optionally substituted arylalkoxy, optionally substituted alkenyl S(O)nR3 (wherein n is 0, 1 or 2), or optionally substituted heteroaryl, or W, X or X, Y or Y, Z together form methylenedioxy; and R3 is optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted aralkyl or optionally substituted heteroaryl. The compounds are useful as fungicides and also as plant growth regulators, insecticides and miticides.
