TRIAZOLE COMPOUND OR ITS SALT* ITS PREPARATION AND AGRICULTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL GERMICIDE* HERBICIDE AND PLANT GROWTH REGULATOR CONTAINING THE SAME AS ACTIVE CONSTITUENT

摘要

NEW MATERIAL:A triazole compound expressed by formula I (X is halogen; n is 0, 1 or 2) or a salt thereof. EXAMPLE:The (I-E) isomer of 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(1-methyl-cyclopropyl)-2-(1, 2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-propen-1-ol. USE:An agricultural and horticultural germicide, a herbicide and a plant growth regulator, wherein the (I-E) isomer has a higher germicidal activity than the (I-Z) isomer. PROCESS:A ketone compound of formula II is reduced with a reducing agent to give the compound of formula I.
