The synthesis of 1-(2-alkyl-2-phenylethyl)-1H-imidazoles was accomplished starting from the corresponding phenylacetonitriles. Via alkylation, esterification, and sodium borohydride reduction-in the presence of lithium iodide-beta-phenylalconols were obtained. Mesylation of these alcohols and refluxing with imidazole in dimethylformamide furnished title compounds, which were active in vitro against dermatophytes, yeasts, other fungi, and gram-positive bacteria and in vivo as well as in vitro against Candida albicans.
