Synthesis of substituted 1-(2-arylvinyl)-2-azolyl-1-pyridylethanols-1

A series of new 1-(2-arylvinyl)-2-azolyl-1-pyridylethanols-1 has been obtained with various positions of the nitrogen atom in the pyridine fragment and with substituents in the benzene ring, by the reaction of (2-arylvinyloxiran-2-yl)pyridines with triazole and imidazole, for agrochemical screening. The compounds mentioned displayed high fungicidal activity. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1167–1174, August, 2007.
