This invention relates to .beta.-hydroxyarylethylimidazoles, their enantiomorphs, acid addition salts and metal salt complexes. This invention also relates to the method of preparation and use of these compounds. These compounds and salts thereof are highly active broad-spectrum systemic fungicides effective in controlling phytopathgogenic fungi such as barley net blotch (Helminthosporium teres), grey mold (Botrytis cinerea), bean powdery mildew (Erysiphe polygoni), grape downy mildew (Plasmopora viticola), rice blast (Piricularia oryzae), tomato late blight (Phytophthora infestans), and wheat stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici race 15B-2).
本发明涉及β-羟基芳基乙基
咪唑及其对映体、酸加成盐和
金属盐络合物。本发明还涉及这些化合物的制备方法和用途。这些化合物及其盐是高活性的广谱系统杀菌剂,可有效控制植物病原真菌,如大麦网斑病菌(Helminthosporium teres)、灰霉病菌(Botrytis cinerea)、豆粉病菌(Erysiphe polygoni)、葡萄霜霉病菌(Plasmopora viticola)、稻瘟病菌(Piricularia oryzae)、番茄晚疫病菌(Phytophthora infestans)和小麦枯叶病菌(Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici race 15B-2)。
