Research on antibacterial and antifungal agents. 16. Synthesis and antifungal activities of 1-[α-(1-naphthyl)benzyl]imidazole derivatives and related 2-naphthyl isomers
摘要:
Some 1-arylmethylimidazoles bearing a naphthyl group at the a position of benzyl moiety have been synthesized and tested as antifungal agents against Candida albicans and Candida spp. Such derivatives resemble bifonazole and naftifine, two important antimycotic agents of clinical use. Various compounds were found highly active when tested against Candida strains in comparison with bifonazole, miconazole, clotrimazole and ketoconazole.
Reaction of potassium aryltrifluoroborates with aldehydes, in the presence of a rhodium catalyst, afforded carbinol derivatives in high yields under mild aqueous conditions; this efficient reaction proved to be general, allowing the production of highly hindered diarylmethanols and aliphatic aldehydes were also reactive under these conditions.
