Novel substituted azolylvinyl ketones and carbinols as fungicides and plant growth regulators

Abstract

A substituted azolylvinyl ketone or carbinol of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 represents optionally substituted cycloalkyl with 3 to 5 carbon atoms, substituted cyclohexyl or the grouping ##STR2## wherein R.sup.3 represents optionally substituted phenyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, cyano or the grouping --Z--R.sup.4, wherein R.sup.4 represents alkyl, halogenoalkyl, optionally substituted phenyl or optionally substituted phenylalkyl and Z represents O, S, SO or SO.sub.2, n represents a number from 0 to 2, R.sup.2 represents alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, in each case optionally substituted phenyl or phenylalkyl, or in each case optionally substituted cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, cycloalkenyl, cycloalkenylalkyl, bicycloalkyl or bicycloalkenyl, but R.sup.2 does not represent optionally substituted phenyl at the same time as R.sup.1 represents optionally substituted cycloalkyl with 3 to 5 carbon atoms or substituted cyclohexyl or R.sup.3 represents optionally substituted phenyl, X represents the CO or CH(OH) group and Y represents a nitrogen atom or the CH group, or an addition product thereof with an acid or metal salt. The products are active in combating fungi and in regulating the growth of plants.
